Enhancing Video Compression Efficiency for Low-Bandwidth Environments with H.265/HEVC

This paper explores the functionality of the H.265/HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) standard in low-bandwidth scenarios. We provide an overview of H.265's key features and mechanisms that make it suitable for lower bandwidth environments. H.265, also known as High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), is renowned for delivering superior video quality at lower bitrates. We investigate the critical features of H.265 and its application in low-bandwidth scenarios, providing insights into its efficiency, performance, and practical implementation. We present experimental results demonstrating the performance improvements and benefits of H.265 regarding video quality and bandwidth utilisation. The paper discusses potential applications and directions for optimising video compression in constrained network conditions.
