Future Video Coding
This work plan was set up to explore characteristics of test sequences that were offered for usage in future video coding standardization.
MPEG anticipates that video bit rate (with current compression technology is used) will go up faster than the network infrastructure will be able to carry economically in the future, both for wireless and wired networks. Reasons for this include the capability for higher quality ranges and resolution for both stationary and mobile devices, the increasing number of users, the increased consumption of video by each user, the increasing tendency towards individual download/upload/streaming.
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.
