Seven sets of capabilities, referred to as “profiles,” have been created for use in specific applications. Its popularity is derived from a combination of the great efficiency of the codec as well as its scalability in delivering excellent quality across the entire bandwidth spectrum, from high-definition television to videoconferencing and third-generation-mobile multimedia.
