What is Mainconcept HEVC/H.265?
The MainConcept HEVC Encoder SDK offers comprehensive support for 4:2:0 Main and Main 10 profiles including support for BT.2020 enhanced color gamut as well as SMPTE 2084 based HDR-10. When used on a 6th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor the encoder can leverage Intel Quick Sync Video technology for hardware-accelerated operation and significant CPU load reduction.
The software encoder offers real-time 4K60 encoding for 8-bit and 10-bit profiles. For solutions that cater to content preparation and transcoding into adaptive formats for digital delivery, MainConcept offers SABET™ enabling efficient accelerated encoding across profiles. The technology allows encoding of up to 12 output streams from a single source while maintaining equal high quality across all levels within an adaptive stream set by leveraging shared data. The latest HEVC/H.265 SDK supports 2-pass encoding for up to 18% improved bitrate efficiency compared to single-pass encoding.
The MainConcept HEVC/H.265 Decoder allows 4K60p real-time playback up to 10-bit 4:4:4 on dedicated systems. To obtain high-speed performance on supported low-end systems, the decoder offers a DXVA option to utilize GPU power for accelerated HEVC/H.265 playback on Windows.
