Vorlage:Infobox organization The Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) is a non-profit organization whose first project is to develop a new open video codec and format as a successor to VP9 and a royalty-free alternative to HEVC.[1][2] The founding members are Amazon, Cisco, Google, Intel Corporation, Microsoft, Mozilla, and Netflix.[1][2] The collaboration goal for the future of this joint development foundation is to "avoid more patent and licensing battles that have been a big roadblock to innovation."[3] The alliance also aims to provide competition to the Moving Picture Experts Group, who provide backing for the video data compression methods most commonly in use in 2015.[3] The project will release new video codecs as free software under the BSD 2-Clause License and will use elements from Daala, Thor, and VP10.[4]

History

On September 1, 2015, the Alliance for Open Media was announced with the goal of developing a royalty free video format as an alternative to licensed formats such as H.264 and HEVC.[1][5][2] The plan is to release the video format by 2017.[2][6]

On April 5, 2016, the Alliance for Open Media announced that AMD, ARM, and Nvidia had joined.[7] Adobe, Ateme, Ittiam & Vidyo joined in the months following.[8][9][10][11]

AOMedia Video

Vorlage:See also The Alliance's main goal is to create and deliver next-generation state of the art open video compression formats and codecs that are optimized for streaming media over the internet, for both commercial and non-commercial content, including user-generated content.[7] A line of new video formats named AOMedia Video (AV) is being developed.[7][12] Alliance members from the chip industry (AMD, ARM, Intel, Nvidia) are meant to ensure hardware-friendly design.

AOMedia is planning for the first version of its format (AV1) to be completed before the end of 2017.[13] It is assumed to get rapid adoption and is the primary contender for standardisation by the video coding standard working group NetVC of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).[14]

Main distinguishing features of AV1 are its royalty-free licensing terms and state of the art performance. AV1 is specifically designed for real-time applications and for higher resolutions than typical usage scenarios of the current generation (H.264) of video formats.[15]

Members

Vorlage:Columns-list Some members (*) stand out as governing members that have a seat on the board of directors. Confusingly, these are dubbed "founding members" in AOM terminology.
