OSS8. T. Ritchter : “JPEG XT Reference Codec 1.31 (ISO License),” available online at http:// www.jpeg.org/jpegxt/software.html (retrieved July 2015)

JPEG XT: A backwards-compatible extension of JPEG for intermediate and high-dynamic range image compression.
Abstract: JPEG XT is an extension of the well-known JPEG standard that allows lossy or lossless coding of intermediate (8-16 bit integer) or high-dynamic range (floating point) images such that any legacy JPEG decoder is still able to reconstruct an 8-bit/component image from it.

In this talk, the JPEG XT coding technology will be introduced, parts and profiles of the standard will be discussed and a short discussion of the coding performance of the JPEG XT profiles in comparison with other HDR coding technologies will be given.

http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/12/apples-iphone-6-iphone-6-plus-use-h265-codec-for-facetime-over-cellular

Apple’s iPhone6, 6plus use H.265 CODEC for encode/decode FaceTime video over cellular. It seems they use A8SoC for this.

Mediatek (MT6595) developed mobile chip H.265 encoder.
