Versatile Video Coding (VVC) with Optimized Implementations

At NAB 2023, Fraunhofer HHI will showcase the latest versions of its optimized VVC open-source software implementations and their integration with third-party applications. Compared to the state-of-the-art High Efficiency Video Coding standard (HEVC/H.265), Versatile Video Coding (VVC / H.266)  offers a 50 percent bit rate reduction for a wide range of applications.

The implementations include the fastest highly efficient open-source VVC encoder (VVenC) as well as the fastest standards-compliant open-source VVC decoder (VVdeC). Using VVenC, Fraunhofer HHI demonstrates a significant reduction in bit rates of VVC compared to HEVC for a range of practical applications. These include the integration of VVenC into a platform for cloud-based adaptive streaming with different image resolutions as well as the efficient compression of 8K high dynamic range (HDR) video by VVenC. Fraunhofer HHI will also present how VVdeC enables playback of VVC-encoded video on desktop and mobile devices as well as in a web browser.
