H04N 19/00 Methods or arrangements for coding, decoding, compressing or decompressing digital video signals
Introduced: January 2014
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 15 subcodes exist in both systems.
7 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
IPC defines codes here since 2014.
