PR82585

GRENOBLE, France, Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Allegro DVT, the leading provider of video codec compliance test suites and

semiconductor video IPs, today introduced the world's first compliance test

bitstreams for the new Versatile Video Coding (VVC) video standard, the next

video compression technology beyond H.265/HEVC. The new VVC test bitstreams

complement Allegro DVT's family of conformance test suites by providing

comprehensive coverage of all syntax elements, branches, conditions and

equations of this new video compression specification.   

Versatile Video Coding (VVC) is the latest video compression standard being

developed by the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET), a partnership between the

ISO/IEC Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG) and the ITU-T Video Coding Expert

Group (VCEG). The VVC codec has been conceived to be versatile and to address

all video applications such as mobile telephony, VOD, Broadcasting, OTT streaming,

videoconferencing, screen content, 360° and scalable coding and their requirements

in terms of resolution, bitrates and latency.   

Allegro DVT leveraged its unique technology to generate multi-codec video elementary

compliance streams to deliver the new VVC test bitstreams in a very short time.

Allegro DVT continues to follow the evolution of the VVC standard and will update

its VVC test bitstreams as needed.   

Allegro DVT started working on VVC test bitstreams from the start of the standardization phase

as an active contributor fixing many problems in the benchmark implementation. As a result of

this early involvement, Allegro DVT is able to offer VVC test bitstreams to its customers upon

the official approval of the international specification project for the VVC codec.  

Nouar Hamze, CEO of Allegro DVT, said "The release of our first VVC test

bitstreams is a major step that will help speed up the adoption of this new

video standard. More than ever before, the validation of new video products

requires solid and trusted test suites as a result of the increasing complexity

of the latest video compression standards. Today's announcement is once again

a confirmation of our leadership position in the video compliance test suites

space and our commitment to this market segment."
