MPEG2HEVCbased
MPEG2HEVCbased is a term used to describe a workflow or delivery approach that uses HEVC-encoded video streams within an MPEG-2–based transport or container system. It is not an official standard; rather it is a descriptive label used in industry and research to indicate compatibility with legacy MPEG-2 infrastructure while taking advantage of HEVC’s improved compression.
In practice, video content is encoded with HEVC, producing HEVC elementary streams. These streams are then multiplexed
Benefits of this approach include higher compression efficiency, which reduces bandwidth requirements or improves quality at
Limitations and considerations include the need for decoders that support HEVC; some legacy MPEG-2 decoders may
