Edition - 4: High Efficiency Video Coding
Publication Year: 0
Status: released
Motivations: A new edition of the standard is needed to integrate the prior amendments to the previous edition. Also, a new profile of HEVC with encoding of a single (i.e. monochrome) colour plane and restricted to a maximum of 10 bits per sample to complement other 10 bit profiles, such as the Main 10, Main 10 Still Picture, and Main 4:4:4 10 profiles is needed in a variety of applications that may require signalling of 10 bit monochrome auxiliary information, such as depth information and alpha planes, and additional supplemental enhancement information, e.g. fisheye video, SEI manifest, and SEI prefix messages.
Objectives: Specification of a profile of HEVC that that will have an encoding of a single (i.e. monochrome) colour plane and will be restricted to a maximum of 10 bits per sample, in a manner otherwise consistent with the prior specified “range extensions” profiles of HEVC.\r\n\r\nThe specification of additional supplemental enhancement information will also be included, including fisheye video, SEI manifest, and SEI prefix messages.
