HEVC H.265
Content today is generally produced and transmitted in 8 bit but HEVC take it up to 10 bit, giving a wider colour gamut. This will encourage lot of the content creators to adopt this technology. Even for DTH operators to reduce burden on their costs for transponder space, HEVC content can provide same resolution at about half the size of actual bandwidth. So the 10 megabit AVC content can be reduced to 5 megabit HEVC content, without having any effect on the quality of the content. HD moving to 4K is a multiplier by four and by using the HEVC, this can be halved, and so it’s a multiplier by two.
