DVB - is entirely codec agnostic ..is a super EPG system over multiple delivery technologies.
There are a increasing range of codecs available now with different properties and more efficient
and increasingly symmetric ……So you could say that it is only the patent free nature of AV1
that makes it attractive to big tech … (software)
But broadcasting has tv sets (hardware) and there are many codec developers of that heritage …..
and is it worth changing everyone TV / stb to cope with a new codec
and multiple illuminate over a transition for a system
Which may last say 10 to 15 years …??
But something could replace HEVC for UHD perhaps .. but ATSC 3???
But I cannot see emission of SD and HD being anything other than MPEG2 and AVC ..
And it’s interesting to see how much web streaming is still AVC …
