Recommendation ITU-T H.266
Versatile video coding
Summary
Recommendation ITU-T H.266 specifies a video coding technology known as
Versatile Video Coding
and it has been
designed with two primary goals. The first of these is to specify a video coding technology with a compression capability
that is substantially beyond that of the prior generations of such standards, and the second is for this technology to be
highly versatile for effective use in a broadened range of applications than that addressed by prior standards. Some key
application areas for the use of this standard particularly include ultra-high-definition video (e.g., with 3840×2160 or
7620×4320 picture resolution and bit depth of 10 bits as specified in Rec. ITU-R BT.2100), video with a high dynamic
range and wide colour gamut (e.g., with the perceptual quantization or hybrid log-gamma transfer characteristics specified
in Rec. ITU-R BT.2100), and video for immersive media applications such as 360° omnidirectional video projected using
a common projection format such as the equirectangular or cubemap projection formats, in addition to the applications that
have commonly been addressed by prior video coding standards.
This Recommendation was developed collaboratively with ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29, and corresponds with ISO/IEC 23090-
3 as technically aligned twin text.

FOREWORD
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of
telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication
Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes
the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics.
The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1.
In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-T's purview, the necessary standards are
prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.
NOTE
In this Recommendation, the expression "Administration" is used for conciseness to indicate both a
telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.
Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain
mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the
Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words "shall" or some other
obligatory language such as "must" and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of
such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve
the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or
applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the
Recommendation development process.
As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected
by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned
that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent
database at
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/.
