VVC Technology
Versatile Video Coding (VVC - officially approved as ITU-T H.266 | 23090-3) is the most recent international video-compression standard of ITU-T and ISO/IEC. It was developed by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET) with significant contributions from Fraunhofer HHI’s Video Communication and Applications department. Compared to its predecessor H.265/HEVC, VVC achieves about 50% bit-rate reduction at the same subjective video quality for a wide range of video content and applications.
VVC Solutions
Fraunhofer HHI's Video Communication and Applications department developed and made available optimized VVC software implementations, demonstrating the benefits of this video-coding technology.
