The successor to AV1 improves compression efficiency and supports multi-layer and multi-view video. The specification defines profiles, chroma formats, bit depths, and mechanisms for layer selection. Work on reference software and decoder implementations continues.","whyItMatters":"The finalized AV2 specification gives streaming services, hardware makers, and software developers a royalty-free next-generation codec to build on, with concrete technical details for implementation.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eAV2 organizes supported features into profiles that determine available coding tools, chroma formats (4:0:0, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4), bit depths (8 or 10 bit), image sizes, display rates, and bitrates. The codec introduces a Layer Configuration Record and an Operating Point Set to handle bitstreams with multiple layers, plus an Interoperability Point that defines the range a decoder can support. AOMedia said the design allows selecting only necessary layers based on device performance and application, which should ease adoption in video-on-demand, video conferencing, and emerging media formats.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"AV2's specification is public, but the real work is in the reference software and decoder implementations that remain unfinished.","twitterPost":"AV2 spec is out. The hard part, reference software and decoders, is still in progress.","threadsPost":"The AV2 specification is published, but AOMedia's work is far from done. Reference software and decoder implementations are still under development, meaning real-world adoption is likely years away.","newsletterBlurb":"AOMedia published the AV2 video codec specification on June 9. The successor to AV1 offers better compression efficiency and native support for multi-layer and multi-view video. Profiles define chroma formats, bit depths, and bitrates. Work on reference software and a high-performance decoder is underway.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"GIGAZINE\",\"url\":\"https://gigazine.net/news/20260610-aomedia-av2-codec/\",\"title\":\"Specifications for Next-Generation Codec 'AV2' Announced\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4179,"outputTokens":518,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1781065058,"createdAt":"2026-06-10T04:14:40.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-06-10T04:15:33.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-10T04:15:33.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_d3a84d7dde2ddebaa8712963","canonicalTitle":"AV1の次世代コーデック「AV2」の仕様が発表される","representativeArticleId":"a_822f8d46da377d4c59cf3de0","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[],\"studios\":[],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"other\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-06-10T03:17:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-06-10T03:17:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-06-10T04:15:33.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"GIGAZINE","url":"https://gigazine.net/news/20260610-aomedia-av2-codec/","title":"AV1の次世代コーデック「AV2」の仕様が発表される"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":[],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"news","domain":"other","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":["AOMedia published the AV2 codec specification on June 9, 2026.","AV2 supports chroma formats 4:0:0, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4, and bit depths of 8 or 10 bit.","The codec introduces a Layer Configuration Record and an Operating Point Set for multi-layer bitstreams.","AV2 is the successor to AV1 and is royalty-free.","AOMedia said the design allows selecting only necessary layers based on device performance and application."]}
