The codec - which is called both H.266 and Versatile Video Coding (VVC) - was announced by Germany's Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute .It said Apple, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Ericsson, Intel and Huawei were among those that had worked on its development.
The H.265 codec itself halved the bitrate requirement of its predecessor H.264, which is still widely in use."H.265 requires about 10 gigabytes of data to transmit a 90-minute ultra-high definition [4K] video," explains a press release."With this new technology, only 5GB are required to achieve the same quality."
New video format 'halves data use of 4K and 8K TVs'
