Jointly-discussed requirements-related issues

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
  

The following documents were considered in this context, as well as other documents listed in the JCT-VC and JCT-3V reports.
