<p>There are three technologies that will fundamentally change the nature of video over the next few years, and these are having a significant impact on the collaboration market, according to Cisco.</p><p>The first technology is High Efficiency Video Codec, or H265. When video goes over the network it is encoded using compression technology. Most of the video that is consumed over TV is encoded using MPEG2, whereas video consumed over the internet is H264, and H264 is about twice as efficient as MPEG2.</p><p>H265, which was ratified this year and is expected to come into the marketplace in the next couple of years, is in turn twice as efficient. This means that for the same amount of bandwidth you can get twice as much quality, or twice as much video for the same amount of bandwidth.</p><p>Cisco believes that this will have a particularly profound effect on mobile video, because even with the arrival of LTE, mobile networks are bandwidth constrained, and it is very expensive to provision more bandwidth.</p><p><a href="http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=E9FE3A40-9F07-047C-AD583396C659F4B1">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://channelnomics.com/2013/03/18/cisco-upgrades-boost-b2b-video-performance/">Cisco Upgrades Boost B2B Video Performance</a> (Channelnomics (blog))</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dvbeKHzt_WcJVlMCB7059Hc3WjwzM&ned=us">2 additional articles.</a></p>
