One NAB Show demo will feature a real-time HEVC encoder delivering streaming content to a Google Nexus 10 tablet for real-time decoding and playback, it said. A second demo will showcase real-time HEVC HTTP live streaming to a fourth-generation iPad, it said.

That’s important because Motorola consumer surveys have shown that more than a third of weekly TV-watching is coming through the DVR, it said. Motorola engineers “are using HEVC to test and develop comprehensive standards-based wireless and multi-screen solutions for a diverse base of service providers worldwide,” it said.
