The idea of HEVC is to offer the same level of picture quality as AVC, but with better compression, so there's less data to deal with. This is the key if we want 4K broadcasts and more.

With the H.265 recordings shot by Samsung NX1 camcorder, we are glad to watch them on Vimeo or TV Broadcasting. Of course it is so great that we can enjoy the high definition video image which H.265/HEVC codec brought to us.
