This panel will present the most recent advances in video codecs for 8K delivery and discuss their main capabilities. Compression efficiency (the ability to reduce the bitrate at the same quality) is the main feature of a video codec, but beyond compression efficiency for regular 2D video, other features and applications are becoming important such as: VR/360 video, film-grain synthesis, adaptive streaming, and spatial scalability.
