New Video Compression Standard Doubles Efficiency

Let me see if got this right...I'll be able to get the same quality video at half the size OR double the quality at the same size as current video? Bring it on! Ericsson discusses the recent meeting of the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), which issued a draft international standard of the new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) video-compression format. It's twice as efficient as current standards. Twice as efficient means half the bits, which means half the spectrum capacity is required for the same video quality.
