The Codec That Will Revolutionize Video Playback and Editing: H.266

Technology is developing more and more every day, and this development your needs makes it appear. For example, although 4K and 8K resolution videos have become a reality of our lives, screens that can play real 8K resolution are not common. This actually causes an existing technology to become obsolete. Now about this very important There was a development.

Those who are close to computer technologies, “codecThey know the word "" intimately. Codecs, which we can simply define as "decoders", enable data and signals to be encoded, compressed and re-decoded. Now, a new codec standard that is of critical importance for videos has been announced. The product of a 3-year study, “H.266” codec will allow users to store 4K and even 8K videos much more efficiently.

The most important feature of the H.266 codec announced by the Heinrich Hertz Institute is that it has unseen in efficiency It can do video compression. According to the statements made, the new standard includes video sizes up to 50 percent It saves money. Moreover, this codec does not cause the slightest deterioration in image quality when compressing at high efficiency and offers support for both HDR and 360 degree videos.

Now, if what we have explained so far does not seem reasonable, let's explain this new codec standard with an example. Consider a 4K resolution video that is 90 minutes long. The footprint of this video with the current H.265 codec is approx. 10GB It will happen. The last codec developed was able to achieve this size without any image loss. up to 5GB It can drop. In this way, users will gain speed both when playing videos and editing videos and will not have to worry about storage.

According to the statements made by the Heinrich Hertz Institute, the revolutionary H.266 codec is not currently available, especially on mobile platforms. However, authorities do not recommend that those compatible with this codec processors They say it is being designed. So apparently H.266 will need very powerful processors and the mobile processors to be announced in the future will meet the needs of H.266. can afford.

H.266, announced today, is now available for both video playback and video editing on computers, just like on smartphones. not available. Officials say that they are currently working on the software of this codec and in autumn They also say that this software will be made available. H.266 seems to bring a brand new perspective to video viewing and editing on smartphones and computers.
