Nuevo estándar de codificación de vídeo HD

Un extracto de las características del nuevo H.265. Parece ser que la descodificación requerirá mas potencia de cálculo (i.e. consumo).

H.265 but is formally called HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

• Incorporates support for displays up to 7680×4320
• Allows for a wider color gamut (10 bits per channel as compared to the current eight)
• Implements progressive scan.
• Targets a much lower bitrate; tests indicate that HEVC can deliver H.264 High Profile quality using half the number of bits.
• The new standard achieves markedly lower bitrates by amping up the amount of processing power required to handle the final image. This could mean we’ll see a split between H.264 and H.265, at least initially, with the older standard used for mobile devices where battery power is a greater consideration, and the new standard used more for PCs and televisions connected to the wall...
