Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (jct-vc) Contribution

10Output documents (to be updated)

Planning of HM encoder description – plan to improve this in AHG work toward publishing as part of the RS standard. TBD whether this would be in v.1 of the RS standard or added later.

Issues in conformance: The situation has been improving. profile_idc and level_idc need to be correct, some HM 9 bitstreams not updated, some planned bitstreams missing, many bitstreams need updates for corrections of these issues and others. Coverage still needs improvement. Various combinations of tiles & slices & loop filtering control parameters, SEI messages, "corner cases".

The following documents were agreed to be produced or endorsed as outputs of the meeting. Names recorded below indicate those responsible for document production.

Two configurations: 1x and 2x

Not using high precision weighted prediction, due to desire for base layer to use Main or Main 10 profile. However, the impact of this decision should be measured (either in the CE or by the AHG).

11Future meeting plans, expressions of thanks, and closing of the meeting

Future meeting plans were established according to the following guidelines:

• 
  Meeting under ITU-T SG 16 auspices when it meets (starting meetings on the Monday or Tuesday of the first week and closing it on the Tuesday or Wednesday of the second week of the SG 16 meeting), and
  
• 
  Otherwise meeting under ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 auspices when it meets (starting meetings on the Wednesday or Thursday prior to such meetings and closing it on the last day of the WG 11 meeting).
  

Some specific future meeting plans were established as follows:

• 
  27 Mar. – 4 Apr. 2014 under WG 11 auspices in Valencia, ES.
  
• 
  30 June – 9 July 2014 under ITU-T auspices in Sapporo, JP.
  
• 
  16–24 Oct. 2014 under WG 11 auspices in Strasbourg, FR.
  

The agreed document deadline for the March/April 2014 meeting is 17 March). No restrictions were planned to be imposed on the scheduling of agenda items within that meeting.

The USNB of WG 11 and the meeting sponsoring companies CableLabs, Huawei, InterDigital, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Qualcomm, and Sony, were thanked for the excellent hosting of the 16th meeting of the JCT-VC. Apple, Huawei and Sony were thanked for providing viewing equipment used at the meeting.
