With an unprecedented number of audio and video formats available in the market today, it is critical to have a codec partner capable of providing encoding and decoding solutions that meet industry standards, are easy to integrate, and provide the performance necessary for professional applications. Here's a sneak-peek at some of the MainConcept solutions that will be available for demonstration at IBC 2009: -- MainConcept Codec SDK 8.5 is the latest version of MainConcept's award winning multi-format codec SDK that powers many of the industry's most popular applications. Quality enhancements, new performance optimizations and market leading features make this development kit a must for software developers needing to add audio and video encoding, decoding, transcoding and streaming to their applications. -- SVC SDK is a new extension to the H.264/AVC standard that allows a video to be encoded with multiple layers. All companies in the video streaming market should stop by the MainConcept booth to see how SVC (Scalable Video Coding) will change video on the net. -- MainConcept Reference 2.0 is a professional media transcoding application based on MainConcept's industry leading codec technology. The modular preset-based application allows users to buy only the individual codecs needed. Users can benefit from the presets to start encoding immediately or use the advanced features to make detailed optimizations in the settings. -- MainConcept Codecs for QuickTime is a preset based export plug-in for Mac OS X that can be used with QuickTime compatible applications, including Final Cut Pro, QuickTime Pro and iMovie. Installing MainConcept Reference Codecs for QuickTime allows users to continue to work in their favorite Mac OS X applications while adding the ability to encode using MainConcept's industry leading codecs to the most popular formats including Blu-ray, Flash, AVC-Intra, Sony XDCAM and Apple iPod. -- MPEG Pro HD 4.1 Codec Plug-Ins are full-featured codec solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and CS4.
