Open Source Codec AV1 Specification Available Now, Delivering Far More Efficient Compression Than HEVC & VP9
In 2015, several industry giants like Amazon, Apple, Arm, Cisco, Facebook, Google, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Mozilla, Netflix, and NVIDIA joined forces to form the independent non-profit organization Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia). The goal was to produce an open source, royalty-free, cross-platform compatible codec that would rival and exceed the capabilities of the codecs presently used, mainly because online video will only grow in importance (according to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index, 82% of all the world’s internet traffic by 2021 will be video).
Today, AOMedia announced the public release of the AV1 codec’s specification, the first step to introducing AV1 into commercial products.
