MainConcept is a global leader in video and audio encoding and decoding solutions, offering technologies that power professional media production, broadcasting, and streaming. With over 30 years of experience, its tools are used by renowned companies such as Adobe, Avid, Autodesk, Sony, and Wowza, delivering quality, performance, and reliability in demanding workflows.
MainConcept is the ideal choice for companies seeking high-performance video encoding and decoding solutions that comply with the latest industry standards. Whether for live broadcasts, content production, or streaming, its technologies ensure quality, efficiency, and dependability.
The AVC/H.264 SDK provides broadcast-quality video encoding and decoding, supporting up to 10-bit 4:2:2. Compatible with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs, it delivers superior performance—up to twice as fast as open-source alternatives. It includes pre-configured profiles for formats such as DASH-264, Apple HLS, and Blu-ray Disc, along with support for HDR and smart rendering for precise editing.
The HEVC/H.265 SDK is ideal for applications requiring high compression efficiency, such as 4K and 8K broadcasts. It supports live 8K/60fps encoding, 10-bit 4:2:2 decoding, and hybrid GPU acceleration, saving up to 20% bandwidth compared to open-source solutions.
The technology SABET™ transforms adaptive bitrate (ABR) encoding by generating multiple versions of a video within a single encoding instance. This reduces total encoding time by over 30%, saving CPU resources and accelerating workflows for both VOD and live streaming.
The MPEG-1/2 SDK offers full support for legacy formats, including digital broadcast standards like DVB and ATSC, and is compatible with professional cameras such as Sony XDCAM. Features include two-pass encoding, support for 10-bit 4:2:2, and smart rendering for efficient editing.
Easy Video API (EVA) simplifies the integration of video encoders and decoders, offering unified support for software and hardware processing on AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs. It enables developers to accelerate the implementation of optimized media solutions.
