Presentations of the Brainstorming Session of the Future of Video Coding Standardization

As planned at MPEG 109 (Sapporo, JP), a brainstorming panel discussion session hosted jointly by MPEG and VCEG was held at meeting in Strasbourg, France. The event started on Tuesday 21 October at 2:00 p.m and lasted about 3 hours. The event was open to interested parties.

The session began with brief remarks by invited panel guests from some of the key members of the video industry community, followed by Q&A and open discussion of the topics. Prior to the meeting, panelist received the following questions that were to be addressed during their presentations:

1. How much additional compression (compared to HEVC) do you foresee to be needed for your market(s)? What are the desirable frame rates and resolutions?
2. What should be "the bar" to surpass to make a new standard? (In terms of tradeoff of compression benefit versus complexity, compatibility with existing designs, etc.)
3. How would it affect your business (and in what time frame) if a new video codec would deliver 25% reduction in data rate for the same video quality compared to HEVC?
4. Do you see market segments where HEVC may not be successful due to lack of functionality?
5. What will be the applications with highest amount of video data delivery 5-10 years from now?
6. What would change if the industry uses the new codec as (partly or totally) royalty-free?

The following speakers presented their views:

The presentation of the first six speakers are available. Samsung did not use slides for its presentation.
