Abstract: This paper details recent extensions to the HEVC/H.265 video compression standard, notably the inclusion of higher bit depths, enhanced color sampling, and different types of scalability. It describes the implementation of enhanced HEVC/H.265 encoders that extend the capabilities, performance, and functionalities of previously available encoders. It presents a new set of higher-quality requirements and how those can be satisfied. It explains different types of scalability and how they can be used to facilitate the transition to new services and to increase the functionality of existing ones. The paper concludes with some implementation challenges and shows how to address them.

bio
Alberto Dueñas is co-founder and chief technology officer of NGCodec Inc., where he has been developing HEVC-based compression products since 2012. During this time, he has played an important role on the development of the HEVC standard. From 2008 to 2012 he developed ultra-low latency wireless video compression chips and systems at Cavium. From 2005 to 2008 Dueñas developed AVC/H.264 based ultra-low-latency products at W&W Communications. Prior to that, he worked as an architect at AnaFocus high-performance systems on-chip solution for imaging and vision applications. From 2000 to 2004, he developed at PRODYS realtime MPEG-4 video compression products. Dueñas started his career in 1996 at DMV-NDS-Tandberg Television working on audio and video compression research including work on AAC and MPEG-4. He received a M.Sc. degree in telecommunications from the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) in 1995.
