Tests of Live VVC 8K 60fps Encoding Detailed & Demoed At IBC 2023

8K Association | Oct 9, 2023 |

This paper presents a VVC/H.266 encoder capable of 8Kp60 10-bit HDR real-time encoding with 24% lower bitrate than SpinHEVC. Tests on Intel Xeon Scalable Processors showed up to 70 fps at 30 Mbps and 40 Mbps at 60 fps for 8K video, proving its viability. It had minimal latency and MS-SSIM study revealed higher quality compared to HEVC and AV1. Future research will optimise it further.This paper presents a VVC/H.266 encoder capable of 8Kp60 10-bit HDR real-time encoding with 24% lower bitrate than SpinHEVC.

VVC: Open-GOP Resolution Switching

Bitmovin | Sep 9, 2023 | ,

Fraunhofer HHI, Spin Digital and Bitmovin present a new feature for VVC – Open-GOP resolution switching. It improves coding performance, enables seamless streaming and prediction from forward and backward frames. The closed-GOP configuration is widely used in streaming applications, while an open-GOP provides better coding performance, reduce bitrate and use CRA points to start decoding without resetting the decoder.Fraunhofer HHI, Spin Digital and Bitmovin present a new feature for VVC – Open-GOP resolution switching.
