The Development and Standardization of Ultra High Definition Video Technology - High-Quality Visual Experience - page 133

video technology will spread infinitely if 3-D video technology and Free-
viewpoint television technology are combined with Intelligent Coding and con-
ventional coding technologies.
8 Summary
In 1994, MPEG-2 was standardized targeting digital TV services including HDTV
by merging MPEG-3 standardization activity, then MPEG-4 standard was devel-
oped for video transmission through mobile network. One of the main goals of
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 standardization was improving video compression effi-
ciency by two times compared to MPEG-2 to realize internet HDTV broadcasting.
The development of a new video coding standard supporting up to UHD video
such as 4K cinema and 8K Super Hi-Vision is now ready to start as a collaborative
work of ISO/IEC and ITU-T. It will not be far off when people can enjoy the 8K
resolution video experience through the sheet type organic EL display at home.
