MC-IF VVC technical guidelines

Versatile Video Coding (VVC), the latest video coding standard jointly developed by MPEG and ITU-T [1], has been included in major application standards while first implementations enter the market. The Media Coding Industry Forum (MC-IF) Interoperability WG has published a first release candidate (v1.0-rc) of the VVC technical guidelines for broadcast & streaming applications which aim to [2]: - cover best practices of VVC configuration in terms of functionality and compression performance for industry relevant VVC-based profiles and interoperability points, - provide guidance and up to date information on VVC operating bitrate ranges for selected applications, - provide information on the usage of VVC with accompanying technologies e.g., such as Versatile Supplemental Enhancement Information messages, - advocate interoperability and seek commonality of VVC usage across transport and application layer standards and relevant industry guidelines.
