Product Presentation
Enabling next-generation broadcast delivery of the FIFA World Cup with MPEG-5 LCEVC
During the FIFA World Cup, Globo put a number of companies and technologies together to showcase the potential of the TV 2.5 and TV 3.0 in delivering higher quality services to Brazilian consumers. For the first time these technologies were used in a complete end-to-end production to provide 4K HDR video with immersive and personalized audio.

Panel Session
High performance sporting case studies
Live sports are consistently among the most valuable forms of media content. As broadcasters, sports streamers and tech giants battle it out and invest heavily to secure high profile media rights, they need reliable, efficient and scalable technology to ensure rock-solid live coverage across traditional linear distribution and digital viewing platforms. This session will look at three case studies showing how streaming technologies are augmenting coverage of for top-tier sports including cricket’s Indian Premier League and the FIFA World Cup 2022.

- For streaming providers, LCEVC’s compression efficiency translates into 20% delivery cost savings while achieving a higher quality
- LCEVC Scalable option, enables cost-effective delivery of UHD channels atop existing HD broadcasts
HDR delivery with a retro-compatible SDR stream for mobile
Key Features
- Add an HDR enhancement layer on top of an existing SDR ‘base’, and eliminate the need for workflow duplication
- Up to 80% saving on storage compared to producing a separate standalone HDR file
- Reduces processing needs compared to having to produce the separate HDR file
Offline transcoding of premium content
Key Features
-
LCEVC uplifts video quality at any operating point, while reducing the delivery and storage costs by up to 20% in adaptive streaming scenario
-
Reduced Compute costs and energy usage in transcoding; speed-up (re)transcoding of the VOD library by up to 3x on slower codecs
-
LCEVC Scalable option to enhance HD into UHD
Cloud gaming
Key Features
- Compression Efficiencies: up to 40% better compression than AVC or HEVC alone
- LCEVC is added as a software decoder update, on existing target devices
XR pixel streaming
Key Features
- Up to 40% better compression than HEVC alone. This enables high-quality streaming of photorealistic XR experiences
- LCEVC capability can be added to next generation and also existing VR HMDs such as Quest 2 or Pico 4 as a software application
