JVET-U0128 Information on the TV 3.0 project Call for Proposals from the Brazilian Digital Terrestrial TV Forum [M. Raulet, T. Biatek, T. Guionnet (ATEME), B. Bross (Fraunhofer HHI), P. de Lagrange, R. Schaefer, M. Kerdranvat, E. François (InterDigital)] [late]
This contribution aims at informing the JVET group about a Call for Proposals (CfP) issued by the Brazilian Digital Terrestrial TV Forum (SBTVD Forum) in July 2020. Reference documents of the CfP are indicated. A short description of the requirements related to video coding and of the timeline of the CfP are provided. It is reported that VVC has been proposed as video coding format to this CfP by several companies, including Ateme, Fraunhofer HHI, InterDigital.
Section 4.4 of the requirements document provides a detailed table of the requirements related to video coding, from which the key points can be summarized as follows:
- Spatial resolution up to 8K (7680x4320)
- Temporal resolution up to 120 fps
- Support of HDR ITU-R BT.2100 format (HLG and PQ formats)
- Support of spatial scalability
- “Enable scalability (e.g. to improve over-the-air video quality with an Internet-delivered enhancement layer) and extensibility (support new settings and/or features in the future, in a backward-compatible way).”
The proponents requested:
- The HDR verification tests for HDR PQ and HLG to be available before May 14, 2021, which will enable submitting them to SBTVD,
- The amendment for Level 6.3 (8K/4K scalable profile) is published not later than end of 2021. A draft would need to be shared with SBTVD by April 9th.
Remarks from the discussion suggested that:
- Bullet 1 appears realistic for HLG, PQ still may still require more effort.
- Bullet 2 could have reached DIS level.
