Abstract
The codec landscape has rapidly accelerated, especially with the recent announcement by Apple to fully support High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and join the Alliance for Open Media (AOM) consortium. At the 2018 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show, the AOM froze its specification of the AV1 codec. In addition, the Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET), a collaborative initiative between the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication (ITU-T), is making progress with the development of the next generation of MPEG compression, which will address future applications such as 8K and virtual reality (VR) six degrees of freedom (6DoF). This paper provides a thorough comparison of different codec technologies, including Advanced Video Coding (AVC), HEVC, AV1, and Versatile Video Coding (VVC). The total cost of ownership (TCO) and compression efficiency of each codec will be evaluated based on objective testing methods [i.e., peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion (VMAF)] and subjective testing. Based on the factual data presented, readers will be able to make a better decision about which codec to use.

He currently works in the Advanced Media Coding Lab, b<>com, Cesson Sévigné, France. His research interests include video quality assessment, perceptual video processing, and video coding.
Patrick Duménil
bio
Patrick DuméNil leads the Codec Innovation Team at Harmonic, Cesson-Sévigné, France, and has been involved in b<>com studies since 2017. With more than 20 years of experience in the video compression and digital television industry, he is currently in charge of machine learning projects for codecs efficiency improvement. He joined Harmonic with the acquisition of Thomson Video Networks, Cesson-Sévigné. Previously, Duménil held senior program and engineering management positions in the digital television headend domain, with international research and development management activities at Thomson Video Networks. He started his career as a research engineer at Thomson Laboratoires Electronique, Rennes, France, where he developed new technologies for digital television. As digital technology was maturing for television applications, he was project manager for a number of first-generation digital television products such as broadcast and contribution MPEG-2/AVC codecs. Duménil graduated with a degree in signal processing from CentraleSupelec, Gif-sur-Yvette, France.
Thierry Fautier
bio
Thierry Fautier is the vice president of video strategy at Harmonic, San Jose, CA, where he is in charge of defining and driving the execution of the long-term strategy of Harmonic’s video business. He is currently the president of the Ultra HD Forum, Milpitas, CA, the global organization responsible for promoting market adoption of UHD by defining industry best practices for the phased introduction of the wide set of technologies that will facilitate the next-generation viewing experience. He is a co-founder and board member of the virtual reality (VR) Industry Forum, Milpitas, CA, whose charter is to further the widespread availability of high-quality audiovisual VR experiences for the benefit of consumers. Fautier is also the co-chair of the MPEG Roadmap committee that is tasked to present the 2020 MPEG roadmap to the industry. His previous experience at Harmonic includes leadership positions in Solutions Marketing, where his area of responsibility covered Harmonic’s major markets, including broadcast, cable, telco, direct to home (DTH), and over the top (OTT), as well as multiscreen initiatives. Fautier has been instrumental at Harmonic in creating new markets such as internet protocol television (IPTV), OTT, UHD, and more recently VR. He is the designated speaker at Harmonic for international conferences as well as for press and analysts interviews.
