JVET-V0167 Updated 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 is a follow-up of JVET-U0128, which presented the Call for Proposals (CfP) issued by the Brazilian Digital Terrestrial TV Forum (SBTVD Forum) in July 2020, and reported that several companies (including Ateme, F. Fraunhofer HHI, and InterDigital) proposed VVC as video coding format.

It provides updated information and the schedule, and additional tests related to spatial scalability, including visual testing, with a final report due in October 2021.

The following points in the SBTVD schedule may interact with standard bodies or JVET schedule, or may be difficult to reach:

• The HDR verification tests for HDR PQ and HLG availability before October 29, 2021 to enable submitting them to SBTVD,
• The amendment for Level 6.3 (8K/4K scalable profile) published before end of 2021. A draft would need to be shared with SBTVD by June 25th,
• VVC scalability visual quality assessment before October 29, 2021, with preliminary test description on June 25th.

HDR verification should be available by October

DIS status of VVC v2 in October, but no published standard yet by end of year

The contributors said they would be willing to prepare sequences for a scalable verification test – to be coordinated with AG5 for possible activity in the interim period.

Text development and errata reporting (2)

Contributions in this area were discussed in session 17 at 1405–1505 UTC on Monday 26 April 2021 (chaired by JRO and GJS).
