The benefits of High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) are well understood, but transitioning from a traditional AVC workflow may seem daunting for video providers streaming in multiple formats. With Apple recently announcing HEVC and fragmented MP4 (fMP4) support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and the concurrent standardization of the Common Media Application Format (CMAF), it’s important to understand the challenges ahead in creating a single video delivery format.
In this webcast, experts from AWS Elemental will highlight the history of HEVC, the benefits of migrating from AVC to HEVC, and what this transition means for video providers. Gain fundamental knowledge about the convergence of fMP4, CMAF and HEVC and the requirements to make the shift.
