DESCRIPTION:This session explores the latest advancements in the SMPTE VC-3
  codec family\, building on innovations presented at the SMPTE 2023 Media 
 Technology Summit. Since then\, significant progress has been made\, inclu
 ding the recent standardization of VC-3 compressed content within the Inte
 roperable Master Format (IMF) and the development of a tunable bitrate met
 hod that surpasses the fixed bitrates of previous VC-3 and other mezzanine
  codecs. These advancements aim to enhance visual quality and maintain the
  essential attributes that make VC-3 a valuable tool for current broadcast
  and post-production workflows. The session will outline the requirements 
 and use cases that drove the standardization effort\, particularly for bro
 adcasters adhering to the DPP delivery spec who seek to reduce costs\, min
 imize generation loss\, and use a fully standardized mezzanine codec acros
 s their media supply chains. Additionally\, the session will present resea
 rch on a new rate control approach that allows for continuous bitrates\, a
 chieving high-quality encoding across a range of profiles\, from 4:4:4 to 
 4:2:0. The session will also address how traditional rate control methods 
 for DCT-based codecs can lead to visible artifacts in low-complexity areas
  at low bitrates\, and introduce an improved approach that balances compre
 ssion to preserve quality across all areas of a frame\, particularly in gr
 aphics and mixed-complexity content.
