Intro to AV1 Video Coding Technology
Start Date: Please contact us
Course Overview
This course is a thorough review of the AV1 new video coding standard. The course explores the new standard, it various characteristics and the main motivations and reasons for the creation of these characteristics. The course includes hands on experience using an AV1 compressor, associated with processing result analysis, features effects and understanding of the bitstream structure and headers.
During the course participants will acquire AV1 technical understanding as well as real work experience in AV1 coding and video analysis
Who should attend?
Project manager and engineers who are required to work or integrate with AV1 compressors.Prerequisite:
