The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is a set of working group of ISO/IEC in charge of the development of international standards for compression, decompression, processing, and coded representation of moving pictures, audio, 3G graphics & haptics, genomic their combination as well as their system support.
MPEG standards have been widely deployed, acclaimed and gain international recognition with 5 Technical Emmy Awards for AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265, MPEG File Format, MPEG Dash and MPEG Font Format. Emmys are awarded for excellence in artistic, educational and technical achievements in television.
