Bitmovin is a proud member and contributor to several organizations working to shape the future of video, including the Moving Pictures Expert Group (MPEG).
Several of Bitmovin’s senior engineers are active members of MPEG, with Chief Innovation Officer Christian Timmerer having been a member and attendant for 20+ years, and documenting the progress since 2010.
For over 10 years, through working with MPEG, Bitmovin has been actively contributing to the standardization of video technologies for the benefit of the wider industry.
In recent times, we’ve been exploring the path towards more energy-efficient media consumption as well as several new initiatives around the use of learning-based codecs.
This includes work to improve the capabilities and energy efficiency of the industry’s newest standards, such as VVC whilst maintaining and modernizing older codecs including HEVC and AVC, taking advantage of advancements in neural network post-processing.
