Real-Time CPU Based H.265/HEVC Encoding Solution with Intel® Platform Technology
Abstract
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) announced the new video codec standard: High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)/H.265, which claims should be about 50 percent more efficient than the current H.264/MPEG-4 standard. However the complexity of the algorithm and data structure of H.265 is much more than 4 times the H.264, that means H.265 based codec will require more computing resource/power than its predecessor. In this paper we investigate the HEVC codec characters, focus on CPU based software video trans-coding technologies that provides the best video quality and most flexible programming model, maximize IA platforms’ capabilities at one HEVC codec, to achieve real-time performance for HEVC encoding codec on IA platform.
