scope:

This standard defines a set of tools for efficient video coding and the corresponding decoding procedure, including intra prediction, inter prediction, transform, quantization, and entropy coding.

Purpose

This standard is the new generation of IEEE Std 1857™-2013 (IEEE Standard for Advanced Audio and Video Coding), which provides efficient coding tool sets for compression, decompression, and packaging of the video data that should double the coding efficiency of IEEE Std 1857-2013. The target applications and services include, but are not limited to, Internet video, video surveillance, video conference, digital television broadcasting, user-generated video content, and other video/audio-enabled services and applications such as digital video storage and communication.
