MFC is about enhancing side-by-side 3D video based AVC to full HD. Before this meeting, there seemed to be very little support for such an activity. However, at this meeting several industries expressed a strong desire to go forward with this activity. In terms of functionality, this functionality is closely related to the scalable extension of HEVC. Nevertheless, there is a push for a separate CfP given that a potential solution based on AVC might be desirable as well: N12789 MFC CfP At this meeting, the group issued the informal report N12814 Report on MFC Evaluation during the 98th MPEG meeting with a focus on the informal and limitedsubjective tests given that this activity will go forward now.
The N12777 AHG on MFC has the task to prepare documents for a CfP as well as study requirements from organisations like DVB.
