ITU-T H.265 (V3) (04/2015)

عربي | 中文 | English | Español | Français | Русский
High efficiency video coding
Recommendation ITU-T H.265 | International Standard ISO/IEC 23008-2 represents an evolution of the existing video coding Recommendations (ITU-T H.261, ITU-T H.262, ITU-T H.263 and ITU-T H.264) and was developed in response to the growing need for higher compression of moving pictures for various applications such as Internet streaming, communication, videoconferencing, digital storage media and television broadcasting. It is also designed to enable the use of the coded video representation in a flexible manner for a wide variety of network environments. The use of this Recommendation | International Standard allows motion video to be manipulated as a form of computer data and to be stored on various storage media, transmitted and received over existing and future networks and distributed on existing and future broadcasting channels.
This revision adds Annex I with support for 3D high efficiency video coding (3D-HEVC), specifying a syntax and associated decoding process for efficient coding of video textures and depth maps for 3D video applications. One additional profile is defined in this revision, the "3D Main" profile.
This Recommendation | International Standard was developed jointly with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG) and corresponds in a technically aligned manner to ISO/IEC 23008-2.
