9、Recommendations. Rec. ITU-T H.265.2 (12/2016) i Recommendation ITU-T H.265.2 Reference software for ITU-T H.265 high efficiency video coding Summary Recommendation ITU-T H.265.2 contains an accompanying reference software for Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 High efficiency video coding. The refer
10、ence software includes both encoder and decoder functionality. Reference software is useful in aiding users of a video coding standard to establish and test conformance and interoperability, and to educate users and demonstrate the capabilities of the standard. For these purposes, the accompanying s
11、oftware is provided as an aid for the study and implementation of Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. This edition of ITU-T H.265.2 matches the technical descriptions in the second edition of ITU-T H.265 (2014-10). The software has been jointly developed by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG
12、, Question 6 of ITU-T Study Group 16) and the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG, Working Group 11 of Subcommittee 29 of ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1). It was developed jointly with MPEG and corresponds in a technically aligned manner to ISO/IEC 23008-5. The Reference source code for
13、ITU-T H.265.2 is found in the electronic attachment to this Recommendation.

15、the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing R
16、ecommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.
17、The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Adm
18、inistration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and
19、compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendat
20、ion is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claime
21、d Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommen
22、dation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.

ITU-T H.265.2 (12/2016) Introduction 0.1 Purpose The purpose of this Recommendation | International Standard is to provide the following: Reference decoder software capable of decoding bitstreams th
25、at conform to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 in a manner that conforms to the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. Reference encoder software capable of producing bitstreams that conform to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. 0.2 Examples of use Some examples of use
26、that may be appropriate for the reference decoder software are as follows: As an illustration of how to perform the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. As the starting basis for the implementation of a decoder that conforms to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. For tes
27、ting the conformance of a decoder implementation with the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 (as the values of the samples in all decoded pictures and the relative ordering of those pictures will be identical from all conforming decoder implementations that support the
28、profile and level used in a bitstream that conforms to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2). For testing the conformance of a bitstream to the constraints specified for bitstream conformance in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2, as the software can detect and report many bitstream conformance violat
29、ions. NOTE 1 However, the lack of the detection of any conformance violation by the reference decoder software should not be considered as definitive proof that the bitstream conforms to all constraints specified for bitstream conformance in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. Some examples of use t
30、hat may be appropriate for the reference encoder software are as follows: As an illustration of how to perform an encoding process that produces bitstreams that conform to the constraints specified for bitstream conformance in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. As the starting basis for the impleme
31、ntation of an encoder that conforms to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. As a means of generating bitstreams for testing the conformance of a decoder implementation with the decoding process specified in Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. As a means of evaluating and demonstrating examples of the
32、 quality that can be achieved by an encoding process that conforms to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2. NOTE 2 However, no guarantee of the quality that will be achieved by an encoder is provided by its conformance to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2, as the conformance of an encoder to Rec. ITU
33、-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2 is defined only in terms of format constraints imposed on the bitstream syntax. Thus, while the reference encoder software may suffice to provide some illustrative examples of what quality can be achieved in conformance to Rec. ITU-T H.265 | ISO/IEC 23008-2, it provides ne
34、ither an assurance of minimum guaranteed video encoding quality nor maximum achievable video encoding quality. 0.3 Warranty disclaimer Regardless of any and all statements made herein or elsewhere regarding the possible uses of the reference software, the following disclaimers of warranty apply to t
35、he provided reference software. ITU and ISO/IEC disclaim any and all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall the contributor(s), ISO/IEC or ITU be liable for any incidental, puni
