Modeling DV/DVCPRO Standards on Reconfigurable Video Coding Framework

Abstract

After more than 20 years, several video coding standards and technologies have been delivered. Less consideration is taken on their commonalities and interoperations. Specification and reference code of case by case is time consuming. The MPEG reconfigurable video coding (RVC) framework is a new standard under development by MPEG. It aims to provide a unified high-level specification of current MPEG video coding technologies. In this framework, the decoder is built as a configuration of video coding tools taken from MPEG toolbox library. Up to now, MPEG-4 simple profile and China audio video coding standard (AVS) decoders have been successfully modeled with RVC framework. In this paper, we examine another video standard, that is, DV/DVCPRO, and model it with RVC-CAL. The flexibility and ease of RVC-CAL is demonstrated as well as the validation of RVC modeling
