Brazilian SBTVD Forum Selects MPEG-5 LCEVC
V-Nova has announced that MPEG-5 LCEVC (LCEVC) codec enhancement (ISO/IEC 23094-2) has been selected by the Brazilian SBTVD Forum for adoption in its next generation broadcast television system.
The news comes as the Brazilian Digital Terrestrial Television System Forum (SBTVD) finalized its technical evaluation phase of the TV 3.0 project to define the next-generation television system in Brazil. An initial Call for Proposals (CfP) was issued in July 2020, and LCEVC was proposed jointly by V-Nova, Phase and Harmonic, who also proposed DRE. Following detailed technical evaluation, LCEVC was the only multilayer enhancement video codec selected to be used to enhance a video base layer encoded with VVC (for broadcast and broadband delivery) or H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC (for the internet option). LCEVC can also be combined with DRE, which was selected as well.
An independent test lab, appointed by the SBTVD Forum and funded by the Brazilian Ministry of Communications, conducted the technical evaluation phase to evaluate the technologies that could meet the challenging targets for delivery of next generation services in Brazil. In addition to the technical evaluation, market and intellectual property aspects were also considered for the selection. LCEVC successfully complied with all the requirements of the TV 3.0 CfP.
"The SBTVD Forum's selection of MPEG-5 LCEVC is testament to the capabilities of the standard, and we are extremely proud that the SBTVD Forum has recognized the value it will add to their system. This is an exciting project, showcasing leadership in solving very relevant physical constraints to bring the best possible services to end consumers. We are looking forward to replicating this model elsewhere as well," said Guido Meardi, CEO and Co-Founder, V-Nova.
"The SBTVD project has selected some of the most innovative and promising technologies available today anywhere in the world, like MPEG-5 LCEVC. The selection and combination of these technologies makes the upcoming TV 3.0 not only a breakthrough project for Brazil, but for anywhere else contemplating similar tech leaps. I am very proud of what we have achieved so far and looking forward to its launch expected in 2024," said Luiz Fausto, Chair of the Technical Module of SBTVD Forum and Technology & Regulatory Specialist at Globo.
