Editing Audio Video Standard (section)

=== Workgroup ===

The AVS workgroup was founded in June 2002 to cooperate with Chinese enterprises and scientific research institutions, to formulate and revise common technical standards such as digital audio and digital video's compression, decompression, processing and representation, thus to provide efficient and economic coding/decoding technologies for digital audio and digital video devices and systems, serving the high-resolution digital broadcasting, high-density digital laser storage media, wireless broadband multimedia communication, Internet broadband streaming media, and other applications.

The workgroup is headed by '''Gao Wen''', the academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering, the professor and Ph.D. supervisor of Peking University, and the deputy director of the National Natural Science Fund Committee, consisting of a requirement group, system group, video group, audio group, test group, intellectual property group and other departments. The first setback was when China did not use AVS for its own digital television broadcast system in 2003.<ref>{{Cite book |pages= 93–95 |title= China's Science and Technology Sector and the Forces of Globalisation |date= 2008 |publisher= World Scientific Publishing |isbn= 978-981-277-101-8 |editor= Elspeth Thomson, Jon Sigurdson |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=8-CJchYbrQYC&dq=SARFT+AVS&pg=PA95 |access-date= June 15, 2022  }}</ref>
