YouTube performs 4K videos with VP9 codecs at CES 2014
YouTube will show 4K Ultra HD videos using Google's new codec that will be popular in the online world called VP9 at CES 2014 next week.
This is an open source codec designed to replace H.265 standard which is popular on current 4K standard video. The new standard is committed to support by many large companies, including Samsung, Toshiba, Sharp, Intel, ARM, Marvell, and Broadcom . with a total of 19 partners.
With these efforts, Google hopes to soon launch VP9, the new generation to replace VP8, which the company announced in 2010, in online video streaming. VP8 was developed by Google to eliminate the need to force users to install plug-ins, even if it is used in some other Google services, such as video conferencing in Hangouts, but not many companies. support.
According to a YouTube spokesperson, VP9's main benefit is a significant reduction in the amount of data delivered during online video enjoyment. In fact, compared to the existing codecs used for HD video, VP9 is said to cut 1/2 data needs, which also significantly reduces buffering when transmitting.
It is not known that this is not the first time YouTube has provided 4K content when the service has added 4K support in 2010, but was not popular because devices that support 4K movie shooting still have a rare deal. .
It is expected that VP9 decoding hardware will appear first in computers and mobile devices before moving to Smart TV in 2015.
