ONLINE VIDEO STREAMING IS A CRUCIAL PART OF THE INTERNET PRESENT AND FUTURE
Online video streaming is becoming more and more the predominant means of online content consumption; video codecs therefore play a crucial role, also in this field, providing high quality video while saving bandwidth, battery life and expensive memory.
Knowing the history behind the development of these technologies is fundamental to understand why it’s important to defend the rights and investments of the innovators, who devote resources, time and efforts to secure continuous progress for the benefits of consumers and society as a whole.
Do the right thing. Reward innovation: play the right future.

A HISTORY OF INVENTIONS.
During the 1950s, engineers from all over the world made incredible inventions, from variable length coding to bidirectional prediction, laying the groundwork for a new video compression technology that would enable digital video and all the benefits it brings.
At the beginning of the 1990s, several international organizations worked together, combining those innovations to create the first hybrid video codec model.
