📡NTT Develops World’s First Real–time 4K High Frame Rate HEVC Codec

~Enabling live transmission of High Frame Rate video, resulting in smoother and sharper video quality~

Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) Corporation (Head office, Chiyoda–ku, Tokyo, Japan; Hiroo Unoura, President and CEO) has developed a real–time 4K*1 high frame rate HEVC*2 codec which enables live transmission of high frame rate (HFR) video.

HFR enhances video smoothness and sharpness by doubling the frame rate*3 of the standard video frame rate (SFR), from 50/60p to 100/120p.

HFR video is especially effective for fast–moving video content such as sports.
