The Technical Requirements and Measurement Methods of AVS+ Professional Satellite Integrated Receiver Decoder (GD/J 057-2014) and the Technical Requirements and Measurement Methods of AVS+ SD TV Encoder (GD/J 056-2014) were promulgated.

The Ministry of Finance approved a fund of more than RMB 4 billion for the Central Radio and Television Program Wireless Coverage Project, which clearly stipulates that the encoding method of terrestrial television programs nationwide adopts AVS+ encoding and encrypted transmission.

In the second bidding, CCTV completed all the conversion work of AVS + satellite HD as scheduled.

Bohua Chip BH1200, the world's first AVS+ HD encoding chip, was unveiled in Zhongguancun. The BH1200 HD coder chip fully complies with the national radio and television industry standard AVS+ promulgated in 2012, and is forward compatible with the AVS national standard, which is of great significance to improve the AVS+ industry chain and support the development of HD TV in China.

The Publicity Meeting of AVS+ Implementation Guide was held in Xiamen. More than 200 experts from radio, film and television bureaus, TV stations, network companies and large and medium-sized electronic information enterprises across the country attended the meeting. Wang Xiaojie, Director of the Science and Technology Department of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, said at the meeting that the Science and Technology Department would cooperate with the Electronics Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to jointly accelerate the application and industrialization of the AVS+ standard, promote the construction of the industrial chain, and promote the completion of the industrial upgrading and updating based on the independent technical standard AVS+. Hu Yan, Inspector of the Electronic Information Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology would continue to promote the industrialization of the AVS+ standard, as well as the application deployment of AVS+ standard in the fields of satellite transmission and distribution, live satellite, terrestrial TV, and cable television. At the same time, it would increase the supply and support for the industrial chain, vigorously support the research on the evolution of the next-generation video coding technology, accelerate the formulation of the AVS2 standard, and promote the improvement of the industrial chain.

At the closing ceremony of the 48th Meeting of AVS Workgroup held in Beijing, the results of the AVS Awards 2013 were announced: AVS Research Team of Zhejiang University, Samsung AVS2 Team, and Guangzhou Kuvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd. won the honor of the year.

In order to promote the industrial application of AVS+ independent innovation technology in radio and television, and promote industrial development through application, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television jointly issued the Implementation Guide for the Application of Advanced Coding of Video and Audio for Broadcasting (AVS+) Technology. In accordance with the principle of "rapid progress, smooth transition, incremental priority and stock consideration", the Guide clarifies the timetable for the classification and step-by-step promotion of the application of AVS+ in the fields of satellite, cable, terrestrial digital TV, Internet TV and IPTV. The Guide is of great significance for accelerating the promotion of the end-to-end application of AVS+ technology, promoting the application of AVS+ standards in the field of radio and television, and driving the development of the electronic information industry.

The "Top Ten Events of Electronic Information Industry Standardization in 2013" were announced, and "the road to large-scale application of China's advanced video coding standards opening " was selected.

6 channels of CCTV broadcast high-definition programs using AVS+ technology. By the second quarter of 2014, CCTV will fully realize the overall conversion of AVS + HD. That is, all content of CCTV HD channels will be distributed by satellite using AVS+ standard compressed video streams, which will quickly promote the nationwide coverage of AVS+.
