Thierry Fautier, speaking at SMPTE 2017, explains the planned advances in Codecs for the next 5 years explaining the new techniques and likely future abilities of the different codecs. Based on his technical paper, Thierry explains efforts to ‘boost’ HEVC and, in the future JVET which complements his comprehensive look across VP9, HEVC, AVC, JVET and AV1.

From IBC, this is a fantastic line-up of 6 experts in the field of codecs who dive deep into the pros and cons of AV1, HEVC and discuss alternative codecs.
Three papers are presented showing the reality of the AV1 implementation to date, why there’s promise and why we’re not there yet.
The event moves on to a panel session which digs deep into HEVC licensing, challenger Codecs such as XVC and PERSEUS, and much about UHD and HEVC adoption.

AV1 is much talked about. We know what it promises, but how many of us remember what it does and why it is so promising?
Here, Mozilla – a member of the Alliance for Open Media – takes us through what AV1 is, how it works, why it promises to fare better than HEVC.
Covering:
• Brief history of video viewering royalty codecs
• What makes AV1 different
• The tools AV1 uses
• Quality Benchmarks

Encoding and transcoding are at the heart of every video service and solution, and the codec and format landscape has never been more crowded. Publishers are wringing the most efficiency out of H.264 while making the move to HEVC/H.265 and AV1—and keeping an eye on other proprietary codecs. On top of all that are considerations like video optimization, bitrate ladders, and per-title encoding.
Join this expert panel as they discuss the latest in encoding and transcoding, including the following:
