This directory contains encoding and decoding scripts for HEVC, for use with the benchmark custom codec. They use the HEVC reference encoder at https://hevc.hhi.fraunhofer.de/svn/svn_HEVCSoftware/ and require the `TAppEncoderHighBitDepthStatic` and `TAppDecoderHighBitDepthStatic` binaries to be placed in this directory. Example usage, for encoding at QP = 30: ``` tools/benchmark_xl --input=image.png --codec='custom:bin:.../tools/benchmark/hm/encode.sh:.../tools/benchmark/hm/decode.sh:-q:30' ``` The paths to the encode and decode scripts should be adjusted as necessary.
