Fraunhofer HHI reveals a new global video coding standard. Dubbed as the H.266, or Versatile Video Coding (VVC), the new standard improves compression which makes the file size 50% smaller without compromising the video quality. For example, a 90-minute-long UHD video with 10GB data would only be 5GB when encoded using the new codec. Its document specification runs over 500 pages and is edited by Fraunhofer HHI Video Coding Systems group head Benjamin Bross. Calling it as the company's "quantum leap in coding efficiency", the new standard will also be applicable to flat-screen TVs. Announced on April 23, 2026, the new drones are designed for first-time users who want to capture photos and videos from above.
