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.
The session began with brief remarks by invited panel guests from some of the key members of the video industry community, followed by Q&A and open discussion of the topics. Prior to the meeting, panelist received the following questions that were to be addressed during their presentations:
- How much additional compression (compared to HEVC) do you foresee to be needed for your market(s)? What are the desirable frame rates and resolutions?
- What should be "the bar" to surpass to make a new standard? (In terms of tradeoff of compression benefit versus complexity, compatibility with existing designs, etc.)
- How would it affect your business (and in what time frame) if a new video codec would deliver 25% reduction in data rate for the same video quality compared to HEVC?
- Do you see market segments where HEVC may not be successful due to lack of functionality?
- What will be the applications with highest amount of video data delivery 5-10 years from now?
- What would change if the industry uses the new codec as (partly or totally) royalty-free?
