Standard: MPEG-5
Part: 1

The goal of MPEG-5 EVC is to provide a standardized video coding solution to address business needs in some use cases, such as video streaming, where existing ISO video coding standards have not been as widely adopted as might be expected from their purely technical characteristics.

Edition - 1: Essential Video Coding

Publication Year: 0
Status: released
Motivations: To provide an ISO video coding standard to address business and technology needs in some use cases that are not well served by existing ISO standards, such as HEVC.
Objectives: To develop a new video coding standard that meets a combination of business and technology requirements:\r\n• a Baseline profile containing technologies which are over 20 years old or which are accompanied only by Type 1 declarations\r\n• a Main profile containing a small number of additional tools, each of which is capable of being cleanly switched off or switched over to Baseline tools on an individual basis\r\n• encouragement of the timely publication of licensing terms\r\n• coding efficiency at least as good as that of HEVC\r\n• complexity suitable for real time encoding and decoding
