Final joint call for proposals for next-generation video coding standardization
In the context of arrangements for the new joint collaborative team on video coding standardization, the JCT-VC, ITU-T Q6/16 (VCEG) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG) reached agreement to issue an official final joint call for submissions on video coding technology with substantially increased compression capability relative to existing Recommendations | International Standards. This joint Call for Proposals (CfP) was developed through coordination between SG16/Q6 (VCEG) and SC29/WG11 (MPEG) and can be found here.
Companies and organizations that have pre-registered in response to the previous Preliminary Call issued in November 2009 have been invited to submit proposals in response to this final Call.
