Video Streaming Definitions: H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

Haivision’s VP of Product Management, Ghislain Collette, gets more detailed about HEVC and how it works in this video. Watch to find out more.

HEVC stands for ‘High Efficiency Video Coding’ and is also known as H.265. HEVC is a recently developed video compression standard pioneered by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC). This HEVC compression standard was developed to double the compression efficiency of the previous standard, H.264/AVC, and at typical consumer video distribution bitrates, HEVC has been largely successful in doing so and is the supported coded for the emerging Ultra HD Blu-Ray format. However, compression efficiency results will always vary according to the type of content and the encoder settings.
