You gain a comprehensive understanding of VVC’s quality and features and the intellectual property picture, as well as learn why it will be the right choice for you.

Our technical experts dive into the VVC decoder, sharing valuable insights on when VVC decode will be available for closed-system deployment and mass-market distribution to the living room, mobile devices, and browsers. Other modules detail how to deploy VVC for VOD and live encoding, packaging needs for multiple screen delivery, and how VVC will handle HDR output. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve in video compression technology. With VVC deployments happening now, register quickly to secure your spot!
