In August 2012, Ericsson launched the first H.265 codec, and just six months later, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) officially approved the HEVC/H.265 standard. , the full name of the standard is High Efficiency Video Coding, which has been greatly improved compared to the previous H.264 standard. China's Huawei holds the most core patents and is the leader of this standard.
H.265 is designed to transmit higher-quality online videos under limited bandwidth. It only requires half the original bandwidth to play the same quality video. This also means that our smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices will be able to directly play 1080p full HD videos online. The H.265 standard also supports both 4K (4096×2160) and 8K (8192×4320) ultra-high definition videos. It can be said that the H.265 standard allows online videos to keep up with the "high resolution" of display screens.
Maybe within a few months, you will be able to see devices that support H.265 decoding on the market (such as smartphones, graphics cards, etc.). H.264 has dominated the past five years, and in the next five or even ten years, H.265 is likely to become mainstream.
