This document defines common test conditions (CTC), conversion practices and software reference configurations to be used in the context of HDR/WCG video coding experiments after the 29th JVET meeting. These common test conditions are recommended for use in technical contributions to the 30th and following JVET meetings, as applicable.

This contribution proposes clarification that wPSNR shall be used for HDR PQ content and PSNR shall be used for HDR HLG content when reporting objective HDR metrics in responses to the Call for Proposals on video compression with capability beyond VVC and no average between these metrics to be reported. This proposal is aligned with JVET-AM0287 On HDR coding and metrics and JVET-AC2011 Common Test Conditions for HDR/WCG.

This contribution proposes updates of the CfE document related to HDR content testing. The main proposal is to split HDR PQ and HDR HLG into two different categories, considering that the transfer function is a differentiator at least as important as the picture resolution. Suggestions to clarify in the CfE document the information on VTM/ECM compilation process and configuration needed for deriving the HDR metrics are also proposed. It is also suggested to incorporate the HDR metrics description from Annex C of the VTM/HM HDR CTC document JVET-AC2011, or at least to refer to its Annex. And finally, an analysis of the HDR metrics over a number of test sequences and CfE coding conditions is presented in this document to discuss whether PSNRL100 and DeltaE100 metrics may be considered redundant and be removed from the requirements on responses to the CfE.

This document provides a draft text of changes to VVC conformance integrated to the full text of Rec. ITU-T H.266.1 (V2). The bitstreams provided with this document correspond to the fourth edition of Rec. ITU-T H.266. Relative to the previous edition of Rec. ITU T H.266.1 ISO/IEC 23090-15, this version adds bitstreams for the Multilayer Main 10 profile. A corresponding technically aligned twin text of ISO/IEC 23090-15 is currently under DIS ballot as WG5 output document N00365.

This contribution proposes common specification text for the generative face video SEI message. The proposed modifications are intended for VSEI v4.

This contribution proposes a joint text merging the proposals of JVET-AL0086 and JVET-AL0204 related to the FGC SEI message.

This document contains the draft text for changes to the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard (Rec. ITUT H.265 | ISO/IEC 230082). The changes include the support of a new profile, namely the Multiview Main 10 profile.

This contribution presents a summary of a gap analysis carried out with respect to existing MPEG/VCEG video coding standards. The contribution also provides suggestions for updates of “Preliminary draft of use cases and requirements for potential next-generation video coding standard beyond VVC capability” based on the gap analysis.

This document contains the report of the BoG on group of tools with large memory access. The BoG met on 11/6 Wednesday 10:15am –11:35am.

This document contains a list of reported errata items for VVC, VSEI, HEVC, AVC, and Video CICP, for tracking purposes. Some of the items have been confirmed by the JVET and have been agreed to require fixing. This document also provides publication status backgrounds of these standards.

The JVET established the VVC Test Model 2 (VTM2) software at its 3 meeting (-2 2023, ). This document serves as a source of general tutorial information on the VVC design and also provides an algorithm description and encoding method description of VTM2 software. It is noted that, as no update of the algorithm description document was released at the 27thJVET meeting, the numbering of the VTM software version is higher than that of this description document. In the main body of the text, numbering refers to the software version. The VVC has been developed by a joint collaborative team of ITU-T and ISO/IEC experts known as the Joint Video Experts Team (JVET), which is a partnership of ITU-T Study Group 16 Question 6 (known as VCEG) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (known as MPEG). This new standard has been designed with two primary goals. The first of these is to specify a video coding technology with a compression capability that is substantially beyond that of the prior generations of such standards, and the second is for this technology to be highly versatile for effective use in a broadened range of applications. In addition to the applications that have commonly been addressed by prior video coding standards, some key application areas for the use of this standard include in particular ultra-high-definition video (e.g., with 3840×2160 or 7620×4320 picture resolution and bit depth of 10 or 12 bits as specified in Rec. ITU-R BT.2100), video with a high dynamic range and wide colour gamut (e.g., with the perceptual quantization or hybrid log-gamma transfer characteristics specified in Rec. ITU-R BT.2100), and video for immersive media applications such as 360° omnidirectional video projected using a common projection format such as the equirectangular or cubemap projection format.

This document contains the draft text for changes to the versatile supplemental enhancement information messages for coded video bitstreams (VSEI) standard (Rec. ITU-T H.274 | ISO/IEC 23002-7), to specify additional SEI messages, including the shutter interval information SEI message, neural-network post-filter characteristics SEI message, neural-network post-filter activation SEI message, phase indication SEI message, and post-filter hint SEI message.
