Versatile Video Coding (VVC or H.266) offers best-in-class compression performance and has been selected (or is currently being considered) for use in next-generation broadcast standards around the world. These standards typically define VVC-based profiles and corresponding receiver capabilities; how the service is realized and the impact of the codec’s operational parameters on delivered compression performance is not in scope. The Media Coding Industry Forum (MC-IF) has developed – with input from broadcasters, encoder vendors and others in the community – technical guidelines that serve as a reference for VVC configuration choices to address operational, interoperability, and regulatory needs while achieving optimal compression performance.
A community review phase concluded in late 2023, and the guidelines are now publicly and freely available. This presentation starts with an overview of the guidelines and review of relevant pre-processing, encoding and post-decoding processes applicable to broadcast and streaming applications. The presentation then follows with a deep dive into new VVC features and their configuration choices for which trade-offs between compression performance and operational requirements such as e.g., zapping time, are reviewed. The presentation concludes with a review of VVC-based profiles adopted in application standards and expected operational bitrates achieved with VVC for specific service deployment scenarios.
