Abstract: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is near completion by the ITU-T / ISO/IEC Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC). The aim of HEVC is to revolutionize the compression world with a potential 50% bitrate saving over Advanced Video Coding (AVC, or H.264 / MPEG-4 AVC) and even more dramatic bandwidth savings compared to MPEG-2 Video. HEVC is already attracting much interest in all established TV markets, from content acquisition to distribution and delivery to the home over all networks. More interestingly, forecasts predict that 90% of all IP traffic will be video by 2015. This makes HEVC an attractive enabler for new types of video consumption, from mobile devices served over unmanaged networks to high end 4K TV to the home. This paper compares simulation results from the JCT-VC HEVC test model against an industry-leading AVC encoder. Compression efficiency is measured by objective metrics (PNSR and JND) for several sequences over a range of operating points and resolutions. In addition, the paper examines the behavior of selected HEVC tool enhancements that facilitate the compression gains over AVC. Finally, the paper explores the significance of these compression efficiency gains for a variety of applications.
