Motorola Mobility is demonstrating real-time High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) encoding and decoding at its 2013 NAB Show booth.

At the convention the company is featuring a practical implementation of HEVC with its first HEVC encoding and decoding in real time. One demo focuses on a real-time HEVC encoder delivering streaming content to a Google Nexus 10 tablet for real-time decoding and playback.

A second demo showcases real-time HEVC HTTP live streaming to an Apple iPad (4th generation). A third features an IP set-top box decoding HEVC. Motorola’s demonstrations highlight how the compression efficiency of HEVC enables high-quality video delivery over bandwidth-constrained networks to multiple platforms.

The new version offers complete, Dolby-certified Dolby Pro Logic II encoding and Pro Logic II, Pro Logic IIx and Pro Logic IIz decoding of up to eight channels of audio.

The companies showcased interoperability between Broadcom’s set-top box decoder reference platform and TANDBERG Television’s EN5990 video encoder, both real-time, decoding and encoding platforms for MPEG-4 part 10

With a rich set of inputs and multiple audio decoding capacities, the RD6000 (shown) is a natural companion to the Thomson Video Networks ViBE CP6000 encoder.

The new receiver/decoder provides full MPEG-2, MPEG-4, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 8-bit and 10-bit decoding in a single 1RU chassis.

The IP-9500 offers real-time H.264 High Profile at Level 4 encoding with data rates from 4Mb/s to 27Mb/s for HDTV contribution and distribution

The emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) codec has revealed its versatility at the IBC 2013 trade show in Amsterdam, working equally well for SD content at low bit rates on mobile devices and high-resolution ultraHD delivered to wall-size displays.

HEVC will be most interesting for applications where software decoding may apply, such as multiscreen delivery.
