Requirements for Interactive Radio were updated as captured in N10567 Requirements v3.0 for a new BIFS profile to support Interactive Digital Radio. Contrary to prior beliefs, it now appears that there is a need for new technology. MPEG issued a Call for Proposals at the 88th meeting (N10568) to be answered by the 89th meeting. Topics include image caching, image delivery, navigation and scene state management.
Following the vision to enable both advanced stereoscopic display processing and improved support for auto-stereoscopic N-view displays as outlined in N10357 Vision on 3D Video Coding, MPEG aligned its applications and requirements document accordingly (N10570).
22.3High Performance Video Coding (HVC)
HVC targets mobile services, IPTV, and Ultra High Definition (UHD) displays with a focus on coding efficiency considering codec complexity as well. The current target is to increase coding efficiency by 25% at low complexity and 50% at full complexity. MPEG foresees that the reduction of complexity will be achieved by turning off some tools required to reach the full performance in terms of coding efficiency. A Call for Evidence on High Performance Video Coding (N10553) was issued.
