NAB Show: V-Nova Among 20 Supporting Companies In First MPEG-5 LCEVC Showcase

V-Nova, a provider of video compression solutions, will be showcasing the capabilities of coding standard MPEG-5 LCEVC at the 2022 NAB Show (April 23-27 in Las Vegas) at Booth W9407.

The MPEG-5 LCEVC Showcase will demonstrate the capabilities of MPEG-5 LCEVC across a range of different use cases and devices. Within these, there will be a demo of the enhancement of a regular HD h.264/AVC channel to deliver a UHD 2160p60 stream at bitrates below those used by today’s HEVC deployments. In addition, MPEG-5 LCEVC will be shown decoding on iOS, Android devices, set-top-boxes, HTML5 players and on VR headsets.

V-Nova joins a number of supporting companies demonstrating the expanding MPEG-5 LCEVC ecosystem of products and solutions for broadcast and OTT applications. These include AMD/Xilinx, Amlogic, Harmonic, Kynesim, MainConcept, NETINT, NVIDIA, Oregan Networks, Qencode, Red5 Pro, Resi, SBTVD Forum, SEI Robotics, Simplestream, SOUTHWORKS, Steinwurf, THEOplayer, Videon and Visaic.

Guido Meardi, V-Nova CEO and co-founder, said: “The first MPEG-5 LCEVC showcase is a great example of the growing ecosystem of solutions available to operators and service providers to equip their video delivery with the latest MPEG standard. The technology is ready for broadcast and OTT services and now products are coming to market. I welcome visitors to come and see first-hand the unique use-cases LCEVC can enable, by increasing quality of delivery, saving bandwidth and — importantly — computational power.”

V-Nova will also give two presentations at the conference. One will cover deployment of MPEG-5 LCEVC using commercially available solutions and focusing on a specific use case for live 4K streaming. A second session will explore the growing use of HDR video content and how LCEVC can be used as an enhancement technology working in conjunction with existing SDR h.264/AVC services
