Interesting article suggesting that you can beat out quality codek x264 (VBR) to the level of X265.

EyeQ is not a revamp of AVC encoding. Asked whether Harmonic is simply using extensions available in the AVC profiles, Lissak replies, “This isn’t some patch. If it were, there would be a lot more people doing it. What we’re doing represents a whole new way to analyze and optimize compression performance in real time.

In other words, EyeQ executes “quality awareness” analysis of encoded frames using what Harmonic calls “in-loop artificial intelligence” to determine which bits are needed to hit quality targets based on what matters to the human visual system. These adjustments are then communicated to the encoding system, which reprocesses the frames accordingly. All of this is done without adding latency to the encoding process, Harmonic says.

PS I wonder what can viewership be in USA movies 60fps in theaters?
