H.265, known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), advances video compression significantly compared to its predecessor, H.264, with the ability to compress video to half the size without compromising quality. It optimizes video streams for playback up to 8K resolution, ideal for high-definition broadcasts and streaming.
HEVC supports both integer discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete sine transform (DST) in varying block sizes, enhancing its ability to deliver sharp, high quality video. The format's efficiency stems from its ability to achieve substantial bitrate reductions, thereby slashing bandwidth requirements.
Targeted at next-generation home entertainment and broadcast systems, HEVC integrates seamlessly with satellite, cable, and internet streaming platforms, helping to future-proof content delivery systems.
By offering efficient compression, HEVC not only improves storage and transmission but also enhances viewing experiences, with clearer video and smoother playback, critical for scalable, efficient video streaming services.
