AV2 v1.0 Unveiled: AOMedia’s Next-Gen Codec Aims for Higher Video Efficiency
AOMedia released the AV2 v1.0 specification, the next-generation video codec built on AV1 to deliver superior compression for streaming, broadcasting, and real-time video. The project has been in development for over five years; native GPU support will likely lag behind, while reference software (AVM) and a CPU-based decoder (DAV2D) exist, with the spec accessible at av2.aomedia.org.
