No general discussions noted.

2. Project development

Joint meetings are discussed in this section of this report.

Joint session with VCEG & MPEG parent-level and JCT-VC and JCT-3V, chaired by JRO, GJS, & JO on Monday 10-20 1600-1800:

Non-4:4:4 for SCC? (e.g., JCTVC-S0042)

• 
  The contribution does not request a 4:2:0 profile, but requests the capability to be present in the 4:4:4-capable profile so that encoders can choose to use that.
  
• 
  Some participants indicated that if we think 4:2:0 is important, we should go ahead and define a profile for it.
  
• 
  Agreed: It was suggested to consider 4:4:4 the primary requirement, but try to also consider the potential application of the same coding tools for 4:2:0.
  
• 
  Decision: Adding new 4:2:0 coding capabilities would be adding some complexity to 4:4:4 decoders, but could be considered if the added complexity is not excessive and the benefit is significant – consider the complexity/benefit tradeoff. Profiling implications TBD.
  

(Outside of JCT-VC: JCT3V-J0106 Profiles, tiers, levels for 3D-HEVC – proposing one profile, very similar to MV-HEVC, with nested MV-HEVC decoding capability. Decision: Adopt (possibly with refinement of low-level aspects), with nested capability.)

SEI & VUI & CICP

• 
  JCTVC-S0148 End-of-picture indication for AVC & HEVC – OK.
  
• 
  JCTVC-S0031 / JCT3V-J0108 Frame packing for video with depth (and relationship with depth and texture view packing SEI message in AVC) – to be considered in JCT-3V – only interest if there's a significant benefit. JCT3V-J0109 is new proposed draft text, to be reviewed in JCT-3V to determine adequacy of editorial quality for proceeding with the ongoing work together with MFC+D.
  
• 
  JCTVC-S0197 VUI codepoint for SMPTE ST 2085 (YDzDx) for AVC & HEVC – proceed.
  
• 
  ST 2084 and 2086 for AVC – proceed.
  
• 
  m35153 P3 colour primaries in CICP ST 428-2 or maybe -1 – OK to support SMPTE specs.
  [Note also JEDEC P22 – TBD]
  
• 
  Green metadata – SEI message referring to another standard for the details.
  

Unlimited level / unconstrained profile for AVC & HEVC – still plan to do, but no draft yet

(Future video coding exploration (WCG/HDR, compression improvement (workshop), other))

Joint session of JCT-VC and JCT-3V, chaired by JRO Tueday 10-21 1000-1100:

(See additional notes in JCT-3V report.)

• 
  Reference software
  
  • 
    It is desirable, and seems practical, for SHM to be able to decode MV-HEVC.
    
  • 
    It is more essential for 3D-HEVC to be based on MV-HEVC RS codebase.
    
• 
  Conformance
  
  • 
    Status of conformance testing development
    
  • 
    Feasibility of joint development of MV-HEVC and SHVC conformance testing was discussed
    
  • 
    Coordination of the formatting of data and additional information output as a log file to be produced by the decoder to determine how the decoder is handling the pictures in the bitstream and the output layer set information
