Authors: G. J. Sullivan, J. R. Ohm, W. J. Han, T. Wiegand Journal: IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (2012) Why useful: The definitive overview paper explaining the entire HEVC architecture, coding tools, and performance compared to H.264/AVC. Essential for understanding the standard before exploring companion techniques.
Overview of the Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) Standard Authors: J. M. Boyce, et al. Summary: SHVC is a "companion" extension to H.265 that allows a video stream to contain layers (a base layer and enhancement layers). This allows a single stream to serve devices of different capabilities (e.g., a 1080p TV decodes the base layer, while a 4K TV decodes both layers). companion h265
What Is an HEVC H.265 Encoder, and What Does It Do? | Haivision
If you are researching the "companion" standards that sit alongside H.265 to support scalability and 3D, the following papers are the standard references: 1080P video support, built-in rechargeable batteries (e
This is the definitive document describing the H.265 standard. It details the move from H.264/AVC to H.265/HEVC with the goal of doubling the compression efficiency (bitrate reduction of 50% at the same visual quality).
Devices with this feature typically support a wide range of file types, including MKV, MOV, AVI, and MPEG . Sullivan, J
Overview of the Multiview and 3D Extensions of High Efficiency Video Coding Authors: G. Tech, et al. Summary: This extension is vital for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and 3D video. It efficiently codes multiple views of the same scene by exploiting inter-view prediction.
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) Text Specification Draft 10 (for FDIS and Consent) Authors: Gary J. Sullivan, Jens-Rainer Ohm, Woo-Jin Han, Thomas Wiegand Published in: JCTVC Document JCTVC-L1003, ITU-T/ISO/IEC Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) , 2013.
"Companion H.265" typically refers to the pairing of professional-grade hardware—such as encoders, decoders, and cameras—with advanced HEVC software tools. This ecosystem allows users to manage high-definition video streams with unprecedented efficiency.
Authors: T. Schierl, Y. Wang, et al. Conference: IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME 2013) Why useful: Discusses error resilience tools (NAL unit partitioning, SEI messages) and concealment strategies for HEVC over lossy networks (e.g., wireless, packet-switched).
