H.265 Codec - Efficiently compresses high-quality video for streaming and storage

Overview

H.265 (HEVC) is a cutting-edge video compression standard that delivers superior video quality at lower bit rates compared to H.264. It efficiently compresses HD and UHD video, making it ideal for streaming, broadcasting, and video conferencing.

With support for higher resolutions like 4K and 8K, advanced encoding techniques, and flexible bit rate control, H.265 is used in a wide range of applications, enhancing the user experience for streaming services, broadcasting, and more.

Key Features

  • Improved Compression Efficiency: Compresses video files to about 50% smaller sizes than H.264 while maintaining the same visual quality. This reduces storage and bandwidth requirements, making it ideal for streaming and archiving.
  • Support for Higher Resolutions: Capable of handling 4K and 8K UHD video, making it suitable for modern, high-definition displays. This allows for crisp and detailed video content on the latest generation of screens.
  • Advanced Encoding Techniques: Uses larger coding tree units (CTUs) to enhance data optimization during encoding. This allows for better video quality at lower bit rates, improving compression efficiency and reducing file sizes.
  • Parallel Processing: Supports multi-core encoding and decoding, which accelerates the video processing speed. This ensures faster performance, especially in environments where real-time encoding or decoding is required, like live streaming.
