Summary

Amendment 3 to Recommendation ITU-T H.262 | ISO/IEC 13818-2 specifies the new level to support 1080@50p/60p video format. Video applications to support 1080@50p/60p are emerging in the market and the extension of the ITU‑T H.262 codec to support such a video format was desired by the industry. In the new level, only progressive video coding tools (frame discrete cosine transform and frame motion compensation) are allowed.
