The up-and-coming HEVC standard (also known as H.265), besides other qualitative benefits, can also increase data compression ratio by up to 2X as compared to H.264.
New compression formats like HEVC (high efficiency video coding) may be the key to enabling Ultra HD and making room for the explosion of mobile devices.
"HEVC, which will be known as MPEG-5 or H.265, will be required to broadcast UltraHD content, notably major sporting events and Hollywood content, " said Michael Inouye, Senior Analyst of TV and Video, ABI Research.
