What is RVC?

RVC is the acronym of "Reconfigurable Video Coding", which is a new video coding framework developed by the MPEG and standardized by ISO/IEC in 2009. Its objective is to offer an open framework that is capable of specifying and reconfiguring video codecs by connecting a number of functional units (FUs) called video coding tools. The RVC framework is built on top of three languages:

• RVC-CAL: A constrained set of a dataflow programming language called CAL (Caltrop Actor Language), used for modeling FUs (i.e., video coding tools).
• FNL: FU Network Language, used for describing connections of RVC-CAL FUs.
• RVC-BSDL: A constrained set of BSDL (Bitstream Syntax Description Language), used for describing the syntax of the bitstream.

A VTL (video tool library) is standardized to offer FUs that can be connected to form networks of video codecs. The reference software of VTL is written in RVC-CAL and the FU network is described in FNL. The bitstream parser can be automatically synthesized from BSD (Bitstream Syntax Description) written as a RVC-BSDL schema. Proprietary implementations of VTL and the bitstream parser can also be written in any other programming languages, as long as they behave in the same way as the reference software.

A more detailed description of the RVC decoder is illustrated in the following figure (Figure 2 of ISO/IEC 23001-4).
