Orange, a Partner of the 4EVER Project, Presents the World’s First HEVC End-to-End High Definition Video Delivery Chain at Roland-Garros
From June 1st to June 9th, the daily schedule of televised games will be fed to an HEVC live experimental end-to-end delivery chain including encoding, streaming, decoding, and display. Using IPTV, DVB-T2 and internet delivery networks, the matches will be broadcast to PCs, TVs and tablets, in high-definition, for viewing in France Télévisions’ public spaces (RGLab), and in the technical area of Orange and in a showroom in Rennes.
This will be the first public demonstration of an end-to-end HEVC delivery chain, incorporating both the encoding and decoding in real time. It is also an opportunity to highlight the technological benefits brought by HEVC for the viewing of sports events in high-definition on multiple devices, including tablets.

Rovi Releases MainConcept HEVC SDK

Designed to Streamline the Adoption of the New Compression Standard and Speed the Conversion of Entertainment Libraries into HEVC-Compatible Streaming Formats Including DivX Plus Streaming

Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI), driving digital entertainment innovation, today released MainConcept® HEVC SDK 1.0, one of the first broadly available solutions for streamlining the integration of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) or H.265 into virtually any video application, service or environment. The new SDK not only enables developers who serve the broadcast, professional content creation, mobile, and consumer industries to increase the ease with which high-quality video content is delivered through existing cable, internet and wireless channels, but it also features innovative new technology to reduce content conversion times.

Rovi’s patent-pending Smart Adaptive Bitrate Encoding Technology (SABET)™ is designed to speed the market’s adoption of the new compression standard by lowering the costs and reducing the time required for the mass transcoding of large video content libraries to HEVC. SABET enables the generation of as many as ten simultaneous output streams from a single source, reducing CPU cycles by utilizing common encoding processes across all levels. This processing efficiency is expected to help streamline the delivery of video for adaptive formats such as DivX Plus Streaming™, Apple HLS, or MPEG-DASH.

Welcome the successor to the MPEG-4 standard

The HEVC standard doubles data compression, while enabling far higher resolutions

Imaging may be the key differentiator in the crowded mobile handset market, but the challenge is in delivering high definition images on the small screen. The trick is to compress images without sacrificing what makes them HD quality.

The bandwagon to climb on to achieve this is the brand-new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard, which is the successor to the MPEG-4 standard. Its USP is that it doubles data compression, while simultaneously enabling far higher resolutions, of up to 8,192x4,320 pixels. The widespread adoption of 3G and the impending countrywide dispersal of 4G networks has laid the ground for the delivery of stunning visuals in small form factor devices.

Rovi and Broadcom to Enable HEVC Playback Across Multiple Screens

Companies Work Together to Enable the Secure Delivery and Multi-Screen Playback of High Quality Entertainment Based on the Latest Compression Technology

SANTA CLARA, Calif., and WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Cable Show 2013), 6/10/2013 - Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI), driving digital entertainment innovation, today announced it is working with Broadcom to enable device manufacturers and service providers to utilize the benefits of High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC/H.265) to deliver an enhanced entertainment experience. Rovi is planning to drive 4K content creation and, through its DivX® HEVC Certification Program, the market availability of compatible devices. Broadcom plans to support the playback of DivX HEVC streaming and downloadable content in the company’s recently announced BCM7445, an Ultra High Definition (UltraHD) home gateway chip. UltraHD quadruples the resolution of today's 1080p HDTV displays and HEVC provides the necessary efficiencies to reduce the bandwidth required by up to 40% as compared to the previous H.264 standard.

Japan tests 4K television streams over the internet

A Japanese telecoms company is carrying out tests to try to prove 4K-resolution video can be streamed over the internet to television set-top boxes.

NTT West is hosting the trial - which runs until Friday - and says it believes it is the first of its kind.

A new video compression standard is being used to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted.

4K broadcasts offer four times the amount of detail as 1080p high-definition content.

Compressing technologies allow broadcasters to transmit material using much less data than would otherwise be required while minimising the loss of picture quality.

Imagination Technologies Develops HEVC Video Encoder

Multimedia IP leader Imagination Technologies enters the HEVC arena with a focus on image quality and multi-standard capability

First PowerVR Series5 multi-standard video cores provide highly-scalable solution for 4K Ultra HD
London, UK – 20 June 2013 – Imagination Technologies (IMG.L), a leading multimedia, processor, communications and cloud technologies company, announces that it is driving adoption of the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard with its PowerVR Series5 HEVC-enabled encoder and decoder families. For HEVC, the new PowerVR D5500 decoder core is based on a new architecture designed for the higher resolutions, frame rates and bitrates of 4K Ultra HD while optimizing silicon area and bandwidth usage. With full multi-standard decode, class-leading performance, ultra-low power consumption, industry-leading colour fidelity, enhanced colour depth and easy extendibility up to eight cores, this new generation of the world’s leading video IP family provides a fully scalable and future-proof video solution.

For 4K and higher resolutions, HEVC (ISO/IEC 23008-2 MPEG-H Part 2 / ITU-T H.265) video compression technology is designed to deliver comparable video quality to content encoded in the current H.264/AVC standard, at approximately half the bitrate. HEVC targets next-generation Ultra HD television (UHDTV) displays and content capture systems that feature progressive scan, fast frame rates and high resolution displays.
