Editing Audio Video Standard (section)

==First generation ==

The first generation AVS standard included Chinese national standard "Information Technology, Advanced Audio Video Coding, Part 2: Video" (AVS1 for short, GB label：GB／T 20090.2-2006) and "Information Technology, Advanced Audio Video Coding Part 16: Radio Television Video" (AVS+ for short, GB label: GB/T 20090.16-2016). A test hosted by the Radio and Television Planning Institute of the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT, later part of the [[National Radio and Television Administration]]) shows: if the AVS1 bitrate is half of [[MPEG-2]] standard, the coding quality will reach excellent for both standard definition or high definition; if the bitrate is less than 1/3, it also reaches good-excellent levels. The AVS1 standard video part was promulgated as the Chinese national standard in February 2006.
Around this time, AVS was considered for use in the [[enhanced versatile disc]] format,<ref>{{Cite news |title= Standard Issue |author= Liu Baijia |date= March 6, 2006 |work= China Business Weekly |url= http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2006-03/06/content_526868.htm |access-date= June 14, 2022 }}</ref> although products never reached the market.

During the May 7–11, 2007 meeting of the [[ITU-T]] (ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector), AVS1 was one of the standards available for [[Internet Protocol television]] (IPTV) along with MPEG-2, [[H.264]] and [[VC-1]]. On June 4, 2013, the AVS1 video part was issued by the [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers]] (IEEE) as standard IEEE1857-2013, 
AVS+ is not only the radio, film and television industry standard GY/T 257.1-2012 "Advanced Audio Video Coding for Radio and Television, Part 1: Video" issued by the SARFT on July 10, 2012, but also the enhanced version of AVS1.<ref>{{Cite news |title= China to promote its own audio-video coding standard |work= The Manilla Times |date= August 27, 2012 |author=  Xinhua |url= https://www.manilatimes.net/2012/08/27/techtimes/china-to-promote-its-own-audio-video-coding-standard/870770 |access-date= June 15, 2022 }}</ref>
