Preliminary call for proposals for next-generation video coding standardization
Approved 2009-11-06 for immediate release
ITU-T Study Group 16 has agreed to issue a preliminary official call for submissions on
video coding technology with substantially increased compression capability relative to
existing Recommendations (standards). This Call for Proposals (CfP) has been developed
through coordination between ITU-T SG16 Question 6/16 (Q6, a.k.a. VCEG) and
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 (MPEG) and can be found
here. The draft CfPs issued by both bodies are the same in technical
content. A final call is intended to be issued jointly by ITU-T SG16 Q6/16 (VCEG) and
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG11 (MPEG).
