Developed by Alliance for Open Media, AV1 was built to deal with licensing fees and improve quality by lowering bitrates, increasing resolution, and providing higher framerates.
EposVox has been covering AV1 in videos on his channel since 2019 and has a great video that covers the new video coding format. From the Hype Train, what we needed to get here, and What is AV1? to his own testing, samples, and analysis, plus how AV1 will change streaming.
AV1 is a massive leap forward that will benefit platforms and broadcasters of all sizes. Watch EsposVox covering the arrival of AV1.
