High definition content is becoming an integral part of global broadcasting, setting the standard for streaming, satellite, cable and terrestrial transmissions. More importantly, it is generating extremely large amounts of data that need to be delivered to a large number of users. Up to now, the distribution of conventional media has only been made possible by the application of compression systems that reduce the size of content sufficiently to be stored and distributed on a mass scale. Continuing this trend and exploiting recent breakthroughs in compression technology, the emerging High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard provides a base for handling very high resolution content. Underpinning the capabilities of HEVC are computationally expensive, extremely complex and resource demanding algorithms. Consequently, in its current state, HEVC is unfeasible for practical applications involving very high definition content. The main objective of this project is to research and develop economically viable, i.e., resource constrained, technology for very high definition content handling. The goal is to facilitate storage and transmission of the huge amounts of data contained in very high resolution content, paving a way for the provision of much greater quality of experience, facilitating quick deployment in a variety of important applications and sectors including broadcasting, digital cinema, medical, biological and defence.

高清内容正在成为全球广播不可或缺的一部分，为流媒体、卫星、有线和地面传输设定了标准。更重要的是，它产生了极大的数据量，需要交付给大量用户。到目前为止，传统媒体的分发只能通过压缩系统的应用来实现，压缩系统将内容的大小减小到足以存储和大规模分发的程度。延续这一趋势并利用压缩技术的最新突破，新兴的高效视频编码(HEVC)标准为处理非常高分辨率的内容提供了基础。HEVC能力的基础是计算昂贵、极其复杂和对资源要求高的算法。因此，在目前的状态下，HEVC对于涉及非常高清晰度内容的实际应用是不可行的。该项目的主要目标是研究和开发经济上可行的、即资源受限的、用于非常高清晰度内容处理的技术。其目标是促进存储和传输极高分辨率内容中包含的海量数据，为提供更高质量的体验铺平道路，促进在广播、数字电影、医疗、生物和国防等各种重要应用和部门的快速部署。
