The AV1 video codec received a Technology & Engineering Emmy Award for its impact on video delivery. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media (including Mozilla, Google, and Cisco) to address expensive licensing fees of H.264/H.265, AV1 provides royalty-free, high-quality video compression. Released in 2018, it's now widely deployed across browsers and streaming platforms, and also powers the AVIF image format. The next generation, AV2, promises even better compression and new features while maintaining the open, accessible approach.
