vc2-quantisation-matrices 1.0.0

Description:

vc2quantisationmatrices 1.0.0

SMPTE ST 2042-1 (VC-2) Quantisation Matrix Computation Routines
This Python package, vc2_quantisation_matrices, provides both a standalone
software tool and Python module for computing 'default' quantisation matrices
for the SMPTE ST 2042-1:2017 VC-2 professional video
codec. Specifically, this software
implements the procedure from section (D.3.2) of the standard for computing
quantisation matrices which achieve noise-power normalisation.
This software is provided both as an informal reference and also as a tool for
computing quantisation matrices for wavelet transform and depth combinations
for which no default matrix is provided.
For further information, please conatact Jonathan
Heathcote or John
Fletcher.
