Meeting resolutions conveyed to the WG 11 parent body

The following meeting resolutions were conveyed to the WG 11 parent body:

• 
  The JCT-VC and the video subgroup recommend approval of the following documents
  

  No.	Title	TBP	Available
  	High Efficiency Video Coding
  JCTVC-A204 WG 11 N11275	Report of Subjective Test Results from the Call for Proposals on High Efficiency Video Coding	Y	10/05/14
  JCTVC-A205 WG 11 N11280	Test Model under Consideration for High Efficiency Video Coding	N	10/05/14

• 
  The JCT-VC and the video subgroup thank FUB, EPFL, and EBU for conducting the tests related to the CfP on High Efficiency Video Coding, and the following persons for their extraordinary efforts put into the test: Vittorio Baroncini, Licia Capodiferro, Luca Costantini, Cristina Delogu, Touradj Ebrahimi, Ulrich Engelke, Christine Gabriel, Lutz Goldmann, Ivan Ivanov, Adi Kouadio, Jong-Seok Lee, Federica Mangiatordi, Eugene Myakotnykh, Emiliano Pallotti, Andrew Perkis, Fitri Rahayu, Ulrich Reiter, Lionel Rhyn, Hamidreza Shirazi, Francesca De Simone, Paolo Sità, Christoph Steindl, Peter Vajda, Liyuan Xing, Ashkan Yazdani and Jungyong You.
  
• 
  The JCT-VC and the video subgroup thank the following companies and organisations for submitting proposals in response to the CfP on High Efficiency Video Coding: BBC, ETRI, Fraunhofer HHI, Fujitsu, Hisilicon, Hitachi, Huawei, Intel, JVC, LG Electronics, LM Ericsson, MediaTek, MERCE, MERL, Microsoft Research Asia, Mitsubishi Electric, MIT, NCTU, NEC, NHK, Nokia, NTT, NTT DOCOMO Inc, France Telecom, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Renesas, RIM Ltd, RWTH Aachen University, Samsung Electronics, Sejong University, SHARP, SK Telecom, Sony, Sungkyunkwan University, Tandberg Telecom, Technicolor, Texas Instruments, Toshiba and University of Science and Technology of China.
  
• 
  The JCT-VC and the video subgroup thank the following persons for the effort in evaluating data collected from the CfP results: Vittorio Baroncini, Stéphane Pateux, Rickard Sjöberg.
  
• 
  The JCT-VC and the video subgroup thank NHK for offering new 8Kx4K test sequences for usage in standardization. It is appreciated that NHK has re-considered the usage conditions such that users simply need to observe an attached copyright declaration. It is emphasized that these test sequences belong to NHK and that users are required to observe the conditions stated in the declaration.
  
• 
  The JCT-VC and the video subgroup suggest to use the name "High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)" for the new joint standardization project.
  
• 
  The JCT-VC chairmen propose to hold the 2nd JCT-VC meeting during 21-28 July 2010 under ITU-T auspices in Geneva, CH. Further JCT-VC meetings are proposed to be held during 7-15 October 2010 under WG11 auspices in Guangzhou, CN, and during 21-28 January 2011 under WG 11 auspices in Korea.
  
• 
  The JCT-VC provides the following list of JCT-VC ad hoc groups appointed to progress work in the interim period until the next JCT-VC meeting – as tabulated above in section 4.7.
  

9. Standardization timeline

The Joint CfP announced a tentative timeline including the following:

• 
  Test model selection process begins 2010/04
  
• 
  Test model selection by 2010/10
  
• 
  Final standard approval by 2012/07
  

The test model selection process did begin at this meeting, with good progress shown in the form of the TMuC adoption (JCTVC-A205). No changes to this tentative timeline were planned at the meeting.

10. Future meeting plans

It was agreed to announce the following meeting dates for the next meeting:

• 
  21-28 July 2010 (Geneva, CH, under WP3/SG16 auspices)
  

Subsequent meetings are anticipated for approximately the following dates:

• 
  7-15 October 2010 (Guangzhou, CN, under SC29/WG11 auspices)
  
• 
  20-28 January 2011 (TBD, KR, under SC29/WG11 auspices)
  
• 
  15-23 March 2011 (Geneva, CH, under WP3/SG16 auspices)
  
• 
  16-22 July 2011 (Torino, IT, under SC29/WG11 auspices)
  

11. Closing remarks

Given the level of contributions and participation, the subjective test results indicating substantial technology advancement demonstrated by the proposals, and the positive spirit of the discussions, we can predict that this meeting of the JCT-VC has been only the first of a successful series of meetings for the new collaborative work between ITU-T and ISO/IEC JTC 1 on video coding. The JCT-VC appreciated the good working environment provided by its hosting parent body ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG) and by the local host for the meeting, the Institut für Informationsverarbeitung of Leibniz Universität Hannover. The first meeting of the JCT-VC was closed at approximately 1:45 p.m. on Friday 23 April 2010.
