Call for Proposals

This document is a Call for Proposals on video coding technology with compression capabilities that significantly exceed those of the HEVC standard (Rec.

This Call for Proposals (CfP) has been issued jointly by ITU-T SG16 Q6 (VCEG) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/W G11 (MPEG), and the evaluation of submissions will be conducted in joint collaboration.
