Live and low energy VVC Video Decoding powered by the OpenVVC Decoder on ARM Platform

Abstract

This demonstration showcases the potential of open-source software implementation for the new versatile video coding (VVC) standard, OpenVVC. The most complex VVC tools were optimized for ARM-type architectures using data parallelism through SIMD instructions. The demonstration has been tested on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier and on a NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV which showcased real-time decoding for FHD and HD video resolutions. By combining extensive data level parallelism with frame level parallelism, OpenVVC is able to maintain a remarkably low memory and energy consumption while achieving real-time decoding of videos with high resolution. These features present a great advantage for its integration on embedded devices with low computing and memory resources.
