Enhancing video encoding: The AV1 support in the new ARTPEC-9 System-on-Chip
AV1 is a royalty-free, open-source video compression standard developed by the Alliance for Open Media, designed to surpass the compression efficiency of H.264 and H.265.
AV1 is supposed to make streaming better, so why isn't everyone using it?
Tech giants including Netflix, Google, and Amazon developed AV1 to provide more efficient video compression, aiming to replace older codecs like HEVC and VP9.
