H.265 High Efficiency Coding: Video Compression For Security Applications

Following consumer demand for ever-increasing display screen sizes and resolution, there are greater quantities of information captured, transmitted and stored. This puts a strain on the transmission and storage network that can be reduced with improved compression.

This has led to the creation of the H.265 standard (also known as High Efficiency Video Coding), with enhanced compression, more efficient and flexibile macroblocking, and improved inter-prediction using motion vectors.

In this white paper, Hanwha Techwin America describes some of the new features of H.265 video compression, and how they apply to the security market.
