The VC-2 video compression standard is an intra-frame video compression system defined through the VC-2 stream syntax, entropy coding, a coefficient unpacking process and a picture decoding process. The decoder operations are defined by means of a mixture of pseudo-code and mathematical operations. This recommended practice defines the materials, procedures, and criteria for verifying conformance of SMPTE VC-2 video decoders. The documents that form this specification include this document, a register of test streams, a sample VC-2 stream generator and a reference decoder.
