Researchers have developed MLVC, a novel neural video codec designed for practical cross-platform deployment. Unlike previous neural codecs that suffered from hardware incompatibility and high computational costs, MLVC ensures deterministic results across diverse devices by transmitting scale parameters through a hyperprior. This approach guarantees entropy coding consistency without requiring bit-exact arithmetic. MLVC achieves significant improvements in coding efficiency and subjective quality, outperforming hardware HEVC and rivaling DCVC-RT, while also running at 100 FPS on commodity NPUs from major tech companies.
