MPEG

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

MPEG provides standards for coded representation of digital audio and video and related data.

Target Customer

Organizations and individuals involved in the development, implementation, and use of digital media standards, including hardware manufacturers, software developers, broadcasters, streaming services, and researchers.

Key Differentiator

A historically influential ISO/IEC standards group that produced a broad portfolio of widely adopted media standards and conformance tools; the MPEG group closed in 2020 (2020/06/02), and the page notes that it now communicates news about MPAI, which continues MPEG’s spirit with AI-driven data coding and Framework Licences for IPR. This heritage and the continued emphasis on standards development and licensing make it unique.

Pain Points

1Need for interoperable, standardized formats across devices and platforms to ensure compatibility of digital audio/video and related data.
2Need for reliable conformance testing and reference software to enable interoperable implementations.
3Need for clear IP/licensing governance to reduce patent disputes and enable broad adoption of standards.

Key Features

1Extensive standards for coded representation of digital audio, video and related data (e.g., HEVC, MPEG-G, MPEG-I Immersive Video, MPEG-V, MPEG-DASH).
2Conformance testing and reference software to support implementation and interoperability.
3Publications of white papers, studies, and technical notes; test beds and evaluation tools (e.g., conformance suites, reference software portfolios).
4Framework Licences to address IPR-related issues and licensing clarity.
5Active community with meetings, ad hoc groups, liaisons, and ongoing development of new standards.
