My one and only post allowed.

YES, both NP-1 and NP-H1 will support HEVC. We already have HEVC running in software (Cortex A15 CPU only) and will soon have it running in CPU/GPU mode.

The Tegra 4 does not have HEVC in hardware because it was not ratified before the chip went into production. That does not mean it can't run, it just isn't part of the core processor. The Tegra is very powerful, with a Quad Core A15 and 72 GPU's fully capable of decoding HEVC at 2160p30.

No one can deploy on HEVC at this time because they still haven't solidified the licensing issues, however expect to see HEVC in the first half of 2014 on the Nuvola product line along with many other devices as it rolls out.

We are also working on VP9 implementation. VP9 is currently working in CPU only and will soon work in CPU/GPU.

Anyone posting information contrary is just making it up and has no technical background about video compression and codecs.
