Broadcasters are no different to anyone else: they want more, they want it bigger, better and faster. Two breakout seminars (really tutorials) at the Broadcasting Summit presented different approaches to this need.
In one room, Arnaud Perrier, VP of Solutions, Envivio, provided some highly technical details of the latest compression codec, known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Codec) otherwise known, apparently as H.265). This apparently will provide fifty per cent better compression than H.264 (which some of know as MPEG4).
