Share on Facebook Tweet this Share Video is the Internet. The networking giant, and that share will rise to between 80 and 90 percent by 2018. The ever-increasing volume of video content is due to a perfect storm of rapidly increasing demand and quality.
And networks that traditionally haven’t had a place in video, like Facebook, are embracing it. There’s no reversing this trend; video is going to become more popular, and it will consume more bandwidth. But advanced video compression software, called codecs, can help reduce how much bandwidth video hogs. This year, the H.265 (or HEVC) standard is generating major buzz for its huge gains in compression efficiency, and may be poised to overtake its forefather H.264 — the foundation of most online video. You can’t fully enjoy it, however, unless your PC is prepared, so here’s how to get on board.
What is H.265, and how is it different from HEVC? H.265, or High Efficiency Video Coding, is a new video coding standard that specifies how to decode video. It’s basically the video equivalent of a.JPEG file. The codec helps your computer understand how a stream of data can be displayed as a video file rather than gobs of randomly distributed colors. Interestingly, a video coding standard doesn’t define how video is encoded into a file. Tom Vaughan, the Vice President of product management and marketing at MultiCoreWare, developer of the open-source x265 encoder, clarified this. “When you define a codec, the only thing really defined by the spec is the syntax of the compressed video stream, and the method to decode it.
Video encoding isn’t defined by the standard.” This is why there are many different video encoders, and some are more efficient than others. So, what’s the difference between H.265 and HEVC?
9, 2018 / / SARATOGA, Calif. MulticoreWare has formed the Media and AI-analytics business unit to leverage its expertise in GPU computing, deep-learning, and video processing to solve problems faced by the media industry at large. This business unit will deliver solutions in video codecs, real time object detection and tracking, object counting, pose estimation and identification that may be used by several vendors in broadcasting, OTT-streaming, and surveillance & security. In the video processing space, MulticoreWare's offerings include x265, the most popular open-source HEVC encoder, UHDkit, a software encoder that enables commercial use-cases of existing open-source AVC and HEVC encoders, and UHDcode, a software HEVC decoder that enables using HEVC on a variety of end-user devices. MulticoreWare has recently accelerated x265 with Machine Learning and CNN techniques. LipSync is an AI based audio-video sync detection library that detects synchronization issues between the audio and video streams of any content without having access to the source, deployable in both real-time and VoD work flows. To solve this complex problem plaguing the media industry today, LipSync uses CNNs and our expertise in media processing to detect faces, track lips, and analyze human speech.

TextSync leverages AI solutions to solve the synchronization problem for audio, and subtitles. MulticoreWare's additional solutions in the Media and AI-analytics space enable multi-person tracking with unique IDs through the use of face, age, and gender recognition, and pose-estimation through multi-keypoint identification to detect complex poses even in the presence of occlusion. These solutions operate at real-time speeds on embedded devices including DSPs, and FPGAs making them relevant to use as building blocks for applications in several verticals including security, surveillance, gesture recognition, and general optimization of personnel productivity in enterprise environments. 'We are uniquely positioned to deliver state-of-the-art high performance AI based smart analytics solutions for any media content with our core competencies in Video processing, Deep Learning, and Micro architecture aware performance optimization. LipSync is a classic example of using all the above skills to solve an important problem for the Media industry,' says Arun Ramanathan, Vice President & GM, Media & AI Analytics Business Unit of MulticoreWare. 'Working with MulticoreWare has allowed Magikvision to quickly incorporate advanced machine-learning techniques into our sports video autoproduction system. MulticoreWare's new pose detection and identification technologies will be featured in our upcoming products,' says Spero Koulouras, CEO of MagikVision.
