Dublin, Oct. 1, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This report looks at the ability of various devices to decode
HEVC now and in the future through software and hardware
implementations.
Worldwide unit shipment and installed base forecasts are provided
from 2011-2016 for smartphones, tablets, PCs, portable media
players, streaming media players, video game consoles, Blu-ray
players, digital TV sets, and set-top boxes capable of decoding
HEVC.
The new video compression standard jointly developed by the ITU and
MPEG is almost complete. The standard is expected to be finalized
in January 2013. Many vendors of encoders, decoders, transcoders,
and SoCs are readying products now for shipment as soon as the
standard is complete. Others will move into production later in
2013.
MRG believes HEVC compression will be adopted most quickly for
Internet video streaming over wired and wireless networks to both
tethered and mobile devices. The bandwidth savings of about 50%
over H.264, which is often used today, will reduce demand on
networks and save transmission costs.
Some consumer products like TVs and set--top boxes will wait for
hardware solutions that integrate HEVC decoding. Others like PCs
and mobile devices will take advantage of software decoding that
will run on the host CPU.
The large number of mobile devices and PCs that ship each year will
provide all the shipments of consumer devices with
HEVC decoding capability in the early years of the forecast
enabling the units shipped each year to reach one billion in 2012.
In 2014, TVs and the devices that connect to them will start to
ship with HEVC decoding integrated, which will push the market past
the two billion per year mark in 2016.
The deliverable is comprised of a PDF and Excel spreadsheet.
