- Description
- The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) file, commonly known by its file extension .hevc, represents a video compression format designed to substantially improve coding efficiency compared to its predecessor, H.264/AVC. Aimed at enabling higher resolution video content such as 4K and 8K, HEVC is adept at maintaining high-quality video at roughly half the bitrate, significantly reducing file sizes without compromising on visual fidelity. This efficiency makes HEVC particularly valuable in streaming media applications.
- The PNM (Portable Any Map Image) file format is a subset of the broader Netpbm format, designed for storing various types of digital images. It acts as an umbrella term for three specific types of grayscale, color, and black-and-white images, represented by PBM (Portable Bitmap), PGM (Portable Graymap), and PPM (Portable Pixmap) formats respectively. PNM files are known for their simplicity and ease of conversion to other image formats.
