In CE3-2.4, it has been studied that chroma BDPCM is beneficial for the lossless coding of YUV 4:2:0 materials. This contribution studies the performance of chroma BDPCM for the lossy coding of YUV 4:2:0 test sequences. The simulation results of chroma BDPCM with the adopted fixes in JVET-Q0110 is reported and chroma BDPCM is proposed to be enabled for the YUV 4:2:0 colour format. Additionally, results are provided after incorporated the bug-fixes in JVET-Q0110 and JVET-Q0351.
This relates to the additional information requested on CE3-2.4.
The results indicate that there is no issue with chroma BDPCM in CTC, and also integrates the known bug fixes. Luma BDPCM is also enabled, which explains the small drop of luma performance in camera video (the CTC anchor is with both luma and chroma BDPCM off).
Decision (CTC+BF/SW): Adopt JVET-Q0785 (the SW includes bug fixes JVET-Q0110 and JVET-Q0351).
The CTC should handle chroma BDPCM 4:2:0 the same as luma (only enabled for screen content).
