Several related issues were discussed in three joint meetings (Monday at 1600, Wednesday 1630 and Thursday 1400) with MPEG Requirements and VCEG participation as well as members of JCT-VC and JCT-3V. See also the Requirements, JCT-VC, and JCT-3V reports for more detailed results on these discussions. The discussion included the following:
SCC CfP: The CfP was issued (as VCEG-AW90 and WG 11 N 14175) and the subsequent technical work was planned to take place in the JCT-VC.
3D HEVC: It was concluded that, in terms of its compression performance, the combined compression of video texture and depth in the 3D-HEVC draft is mature enough to embark on its official standardization. A PDAM ballot was issued, and finalization is expected for mid 2015.
HEVC defect report (WG 11 resolution issued)
4:4:4 and profiles and levels for HEVC range extensions (see the JCT-VC report)
SHVC with non-HEVC base layer (so-called "hybrid" scalability)
SHVC with an interlaced-scan base layer
SHVC colour gamut and bit depth scalability
Extended colour-gamut / high dynamic range video coding – study work is ongoing
SEI / VUI / uses of auxiliary pictures development methodology (WG 11 resolution issued)
Colour-related SEI
Frame packing arrangement SEI message versioning
Overlay auxiliary pictures
Functionality of decoding 4:4:4 content with v1 decoders
Interlaced tool proposal for HEVC: Further testing is planned to assess the evidence of benefit.
MFC with depth coding
