Screen content coding (AHG8) ([e-mail]) Study (lossy and lossless) coding tools and performance of HEVC and its range extensions on screen content. Evaluate and identify test material appropriate for screen content coding. Make recommendations for test conditions for screen content coding. Coordinate with finalization of the test conditions for CEs on lossless and screen content coding.	H. Yu (chair), M. Budagavi, R. Cohen, A. Duenas, T. Lin, J. Xu (vice chairs)

High-level syntax for HEVC extensions (AHG9) ([e-mail]) Identify opportunities for common approaches for multi-view and scalable high-level extensions of HEVC. Study NAL unit header, video parameter set, sequence parameter set, picture parameter set, and slice header syntax designs. Study SEI messages and VUI syntax designs needed for HEVC extensions. Study the hypothetical reference decoder (HRD) syntax and operations and the related text for bitstream conformance and decoder conformance. Assist in software development and text drafting for the high-level syntax in the HEVC extensions designs. Consider the BoG output JCTVC-M0461 (as also found in JCT3V-D0314) as a starting basis for guidelines for evaluation of reference picture list construction proposals.
