The JCT-3V did not send or receive formal liaison communications at this meeting.
Opening remarks
New AVC edition (including MVC+depth, 3D-AVC, MFC) – published by ISO/IEC 2014-09-01; publication in ITU-T expected soon.
There are still some problems in the text related to 3D-AVC view synthesis prediction which may require a corrigendum action. By the time of the opening plenary, no input contribution had been submitted on these. It was suggested to establish an AHG on this. Issuing a Defect report may be difficult from the current meeting, as more investigation is needed.
