LCEVC and the Future of Broadcast:

Powering DTV 3.0 with MulticoreWare’ s Innovation

In 2025, the media industry stands at an important juncture. As DTV 3.0 rolls out in Brazil and ATSC 3.0 continues its expansion in North America, broadcasters are rewriting the rulebook for how video is delivered, consumed, and monetized. These next-generation digital TV standards usher in 4K Ultra HD, HDR, immersive audio, hybrid IP-broadcast workflows, and powerful interactivity.

While their goals are aligned, DTV 3.0 and ATSC 3.0 take distinct paths – DTV 3.0 emphasizes mobile-first design, VVC and LCEVC video coding, and scalability to 8K, whereas ATSC 3.0 leans into targeted advertising, broadband fallback, and HEVC-based UHD content.

Introducing LCEVC: The Enhancement Layer

Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC) is not a replacement, it’s an upgrade. This ISO/IEC MPEG standard (23094-2) enhances existing base codecs like AVC, HEVC, AV1, and VVC by adding a lightweight enhancement layer. The result: 30 – 40% bitrate savings and enhanced visual quality, especially at 1080p and 4K.

MulticoreWare's Integrated Solution

At MulticoreWare, we integrate LCEVC across our encoding platforms, including our flagship product – Ultraziq – for both live and VOD applications.

With a proven track record in advanced codec development and deployment, we offer a tightly integrated, future -ready video encoding stack – x265, x266, and optional LCEVC, all packaged under a flexible, cost-efficient licensing model.

Whether you’re a broadcaster or a streaming platform, LCEVC delivers on two critical fronts:

Cost Efficiency

Reduce CDN and storage overhead.

Scalability
