High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265, is a video compression standard designed to provide better video quality at lower bit rates compared to its predecessor, H.264. It achieves this by using advanced coding techniques, allowing for more efficient data compression, which is particularly beneficial for high-resolution videos like 4K and 8K. HEVC is widely used in various applications, including streaming services, video conferencing, and broadcasting. Its ability to reduce file sizes while maintaining high quality makes it ideal for delivering content over limited bandwidth, enhancing the viewing experience for users across different devices and platforms.
