Online video streaming is becoming more and more the predominant means of online content consumption. In this field, video codecs play a crucial role.
The video codec technologies used today are the result of years of investments in innovation. These continued investments, across generations of technologies, allow for continued improvements in the video codecs domain.
Innovation can benefit us all. But R&D is a costly and time-consuming activity. If those funding R&D activities are not fairly rewarded, there will be less incentive to innovate further. Securing funding to support R&D activities is fundamental to foster the innovation ecosystem.
