      <description><![CDATA[V-Nova outlines a five-step operational playbook for Pay-TV operators to evaluate and deploy MPEG-5 LCEVC as an enhancement layer alongside existing codecs (e.g., AVC/HEVC) to improve compression efficiency while maintaining backward compatibility. The guide covers selecting LCEVC-ready encoder and set-top-box/chipset vendors, enabling encoder support, confirming STB playback via firmware/library integration, carrying LCEVC through existing headend workflows (including CAS/DRM and ad insertion), and running lab validation, pilot trials, and staged rollouts.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[V-Nova outlines a five-step operational playbook for Pay-TV operators to evaluate and deploy MPEG-5 LCEVC as an enhancement layer alongside existing codecs (e.g., AVC/HEVC) to improve compression efficiency while maintaining backward compatibility. The guide covers selecting LCEVC-ready encoder and set-top-box/chipset vendors, enabling encoder support, confirming STB playback via firmware/library integration, carrying LCEVC through existing headend workflows (including CAS/DRM and ad insertion), and running lab validation, pilot trials, and staged rollouts. It cites vendor ecosystem support (including Ateme, Harmonic, MainConcept, Realtek, Amlogic, Montage LZ) and references Brazil’s TV 3.0 receiver profile including LCEVC as mandatory.]]></content:encoded>

      <description><![CDATA[The article describes an industry shift in live video encoding from bitrate-targeted control (CBR/VBR) to quality-targeted modes (e.g., capped CRF, AWS Elemental QVBR, Harmonic EyeQ) and toward explicit perceptual metrics computed during encoding. It highlights vendor approaches that use real-time VMAF-class metrics for monitoring and, in some cases, closed-loop rate control—citing Synamedia’s pVMAF integrated into QC-VBR and MainConcept’s VMAF-E designed to run inside the rate control loop—while noting Meta’s upstream FFmpeg work enables real-time metrics computation without publicly claiming metric-driven rate control. The piece also references Ateme’s VMAF-tuned/validated positioning and a reported Netflix deployment of Ateme TITAN Live for live streaming workflows.]]></description>
