JCTVC-J0152 Proposals on HEVC professional extensions [T. Suzuki, K. Sharman, N. Saunders, A. Tabatabai (Sony)]

This contribution proposes to start more formal evaluation, CE or HM branch, of non-4:2:0 formats and n-bit video extensions to HEVC. In addition it also proposes new test sequences and test frameworks for the evaluation of coding tools for such profiles. Finally a proposal to establish a CE and to create an HM branch for further investigation is made. Test material.

It describes a set of set of 13 EBU Test Sequences was created by the EBU in 1080p50 4:2:2 10 bit, 10 secs (two different cameras) and indicated that these seem to be available without cost with appropriate usage rights for standardization work, and that access logistics were being investigated.

The contribution also discussed a set of ITE/ARIB test sequences, the latter being described as very critical stressors for codec testing. The ITE/ARIB sequences had various characteristics as tabulated below.
