AV2 v1.0 Specification Released For Next-Gen Video Coding

([Standards] 6 Hours Ago AV2)


As expected given [1]AOM Video Model indications last week , the AV2 v1.0 specification was officially released on Friday.

The Alliance For Open Media "AOMedia" has officially released the AV2 v1.0 specification as this next-generation video coding standard that builds off the very popular AV1.

AV2 is summed up by AOMedia as:

"Building on the foundation of AV1, AV2 is engineered to provide superior compression efficiency, enabling high-quality video delivery at significantly lower bitrates. It is optimized for the evolving demands of streaming, broadcasting, and real-time video conferencing."

AV2 was already in development [2]more than five years .

It will likely be a while before seeing new GPUs with built-in AV2 support while today AOMedia has their AOMedia Video Model (AVM) reference software. VideoLAN developers have been working on [3]DAV2D as a CPU-based AV2 decoder .

The AV2 1.0 specification is available at [4]av2.aomedia.org .

Hey Dana,

I have a long list of projects you can work on, too. Let me know.
