With multiple presets, the SVT-AV1 encoder also supports services that demand the utmost video on demand visual quality or the responsiveness for live 4kp60 events. Architectural features allow SVT-AV1 to run 65x faster than the HEVC-HM16 reference point at the same visual quality on 1080p content. Products like SVT-AV1 are a vital part of the growing AV1 adoption as more companies get involved in delivering next-generation, royalty-free video."Intel optimizations help the SVT architecture take full advantage of Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) 512 performance yield enhancements in key areas: three-dimensional parallelism, rate distortion optimized classification, and Resource Adaptive Scalability. “At Mozilla, we believe it's important to collaborate on standards and implementations that allow more people to enjoy high-quality video on the Internet. This means providers migrating from AVC can deliver the same content at about half the bit rate."We are excited about Intel's commitment to royalty-free, open source video technology,” says Nathan Egge, Head of Codec Engineering at Mozilla.
His efforts led to the release of Intel’s first open source encoders (Scalable Video Technology) and established strong ecosystem collaborations with the world’s top cloud and communications service providers.
