HEVC

HEVC, or High Efficiency Video Coding, is a video compression standard that is used to reduce the file size of video content without compromising its quality. It was developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC), which is a joint effort between the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).

HEVC uses advanced compression techniques such as improved block size and prediction algorithms, resulting in up to a 50% reduction in file size compared to previous standards such as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. This makes it an attractive option for video content providers who want to deliver high-quality videos over limited bandwidths or storage capacities.

HEVC is compatible with a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and televisions. However, it requires higher processing power compared to earlier compression standards, so some older devices may not be able to decode it properly.

HEVC is a powerful compression standard that enables efficient video delivery while maintaining high quality. Its adoption enables people to stream higher quality video content even with limited internet bandwidths.
