MPEG-5 LCEVC Showcase Makes Its European Debut At IBC 2022

After the success of the first MPEG-5 LCEVC Showcase at NAB’22 in Las Vegas, a similar display will reunite the growing LCEVC ecosystem in Europe for the first time - to present the new video standard by MPEG, MPEG-5 LCEVC - at IBC.

The LCEVC showcase will promote the capabilities of MPEG-5 LCEVC across multiple applications and devices, including encoders, media players, cloud transcoders, online video platforms and video SOCs.

A group of companies in the video delivery ecosystem will be supporting the showcase, including: Allegro, AMD/Xilinx Amlogic, Harmonic, Kynesim, MainConcept, Montage-LZ, NETINT Technologies, NVIDIA, Oregan Networks, PresenZ, Qencode, Realtek, Red5 Pro, Redpill VR, Forum SBTVD, Simplestream, SOUTHWORKS, Steinwurf, THEOplayer, Visaic and V-Nova.

The stands will feature demos to show practical use cases delivering LCEVC-enhanced content to TVs, mobile apps and web browsers, as well as new XR applications, all powered by the interoperating products of participating companies. These will include:

  • Live 2160p60 UHD streaming decoded by an existing TV chipset
  • LCEVC-enabled apps decoding content on iOS, Android and Windows platforms
  • LCEVC-enabled ShakaPlayer decoding LCEVC on any HTML5-capable browser
  • LCEVC applied to real-time-communication applications for improved QoS and reliability
  • LCEVC enabling cloud-rendered XR and gaming applications
  • A photorealistic rendering of 6DoF (6 Degrees of Freedom) VR content not possible with any other available technology today
