This paper starts with an overview of the latest VVC adoption and deployment status including an overview and comparison of VVC profiles in major application standards. The paper provides an overview of the MC-IF VVC technical guidelines which document VVC interoperability points adopted across relevant application specifications.
VVC coding technology has been developed and maintained by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET), a joint video expert team of the Question 6 (VCEG) of ITU-T Study Group 16 and the MPEG group of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29 since 2017. VVC version 1 (ITU-T Recommendation H.266 | International Standard 23090-3 (MPEG-I Part 3)), specifying core coding technology, was finalized in 2020. Version 2 of the standard, enabling support of higher of bit-depth and bitrates, was finalized in 2023. Associated metadata signalled in supplemental enhancement information (SEI) messages were specified in VVC standard itself and in the VSEI standard (Versatile SEI messages for coded video bitstreams) (ITU-T Recommendation H.274 | ISO/IEC 23002-7).
As a core video coding standard, VVC (Versatile Video Coding) has been shown to achieve coding efficiency gains of 40-50% over previous generation codecs. It has been surrounded by a suite of enabling specifications and has now been included in major broadcast application standards. This paper outlines...
