Primary goals

One primary goal of the meeting was to review the work that was performed in the interim period since the nineteenth JCT-VC meeting in producing:

• 
  The HEVC test model (HM) 16 improved encoder description (including RExt modifications) update 2;
  
• 
  Verification test plan for format range extensions and interlaced video;
  
• 
  The RExt reference software draft 2 and conformance testing draft 4, the latter combined with improved version 1 conformance testing;
  
• 
  The SHVC reference software draft 1, conformance testing draft 2 and SHM test model 9;
  
• 
  For HEVC screen content coding (SCC) extensions, the HEVC screen content coding test model 4, SCC draft text 3, and a document specifying common test conditions and software reference configurations for SCC experiments.
  

The other most important goals were to review the results from two Core Experiments on Screen Content Coding (CE1–2), and review other technical input documents. Reviewing the progress made towards definition of screen content coding tools was the most important topic of the meeting. Advancing the work on development of conformance and reference software for the recently finalized HEVC extensions (RExt, SHVC) was also a significant goal. Further preparation of verification tests was conducted. Possible needs for corrections to version 2 were also considered.
