The Advanced Audio Visual Coding and Decoding Standard Project, one of China's key industrialization projects funded by the management committee of Beijing Haidian Science Park, has obtained the stage success, with advanced coding successfully developed and appraised.

Co-developed by the Institute of Computer Technology under Chinese Academy of Science and Haidian Park Uni-Xinyuan Digital Audio-Visual Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd, Xincheng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd as well as many other companies concerned, the advanced coding chip can provide China with technological support for international competition in the fields of computer, telecommunication and consumptive electronics, and boost the development of industrialization such as the advanced laser visual system and digital network TV etc.

The 15-member appraisal committee, including nine academicians from Chinese Academy of Science, unanimously held that the research result is based on a higher outset, advanced technology and creativeness in terms of key algorithm, having conquered the key technologies in the process of developing digital audio-visual coding chip. Additionally, the result's overall quality has met the international advanced level with a fairly complete demonstration function, stable working condition, thereby having met the requirements for mass production.

It is said that the Advanced Audio Visual Coding Standard Project was co-launched by the management committee of Beijing Haidian Park and the Institute of Computer Technology under Chinese Academy of Science, and it has also won support from audio-visual coding standard workgroup.
