High Efficiency Video Coding (
HEVC) is a
video compression standard, one of several potential successors to the widely used
AVC (H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10). In comparison to AVC, HEVC offers about double the
data compression ratio at the same level of video quality, or substantially improved video quality at the same
bit rate. It supports resolutions up to 8192×4320, including
8K UHD.
