Next month’s IBC2014 show is expected to feature numerous demonstrations of 4K content delivery using HEVC compression. In one such demo, Taiwan’s Chunghwa Telecom will team with Broadpeak, which supplies content delivery network technologies to pay-TV operators globally, to use IBC2014 to showcase trials of a new Chunghwa 4K HEVC streaming service, the companies said Wednesday. Streaming 4K video content “takes up a lot of data,” Chunghwa said. “Leveraging the HEVC standard, we're able to efficiently compress 4K content without losing any of the video quality, making it easier and more affordable to store and transmit.” IBC2014 opens Sept. 11 in Amsterdam for a six-day run.
