Video Transcoding
Vcodes offers powerful automated video transcoding from virtually any source format into any required broadcast format, eliminating time-consuming manual operations. Easily build transcoding workflows for any scenario, such as:
- Adaptive bit rate MPEG-DASH/HLS CMAF with Widevine DRM data and multiple TTML subtitle tracks
- 4K HEVC CableLabs VOD MPEG Transport Stream with Closed Captions and Encoder Boundary Points
- Low Res MPEG-4 H.264 GPU encoded
CPU or GPU Video Encoding
Leverage the processing power of your local CPUs or GPUs—or scale effortlessly to the cloud—to accelerate high-resolution video encoding and decoding with better-than-real-time performance.
Vcodes enables rapid handling of 4K content and supports ultra-fast workflows for visually lossless formats, ensuring efficient delivery across demanding production environments.
Content Aware Encoding
Our proprietary CAE technology examines each individual video’s characteristics and optimizes video encoding accordingly, reducing the playback bandwidth considerably while assuring a constant high quality viewing experience.
Say goodbye to one-size-fits-all encoding.
AutoABR supercharges CAE by intelligently crafting adaptive bitrate packages tailored to each piece of content.
Instead of sticking to a rigid, fixed ladder, AutoABR dynamically calculates the ideal resolution and bitrate for every rung—optimizing quality and efficiency based on the unique characteristics of each video.
The result? Smarter streaming, sharper visuals, and considerable bandwidth costs saving!
Automatic Video and Audio Manipulation
A robust processing engine facilitates a wide range of video/audio manipulations, such as:
- Frame accurate trimming– even for long GOP files
- Scaling/cropping– enabling high-quality up-conversions.
- Deinterlacing/IVTC– Conversion of interlaced to progressive scan, using motion compensated algorithms.
- Graphics insertion – Insertion of logos or watermarks with full antialiasing and transparency
- Image processing – sharpening and color-correction and denoise/degrain for more efficient encoding, are just some of the many available options
Interactive Frame Accurate Editing
Streamline your workflow by using the Vcodes Player module to handle precise cut-to-cut editing ahead of the encoding process — saving valuable time in post-production and accelerating your delivery pipeline.
High Throughput Encoding and Transcoding
Designed for the most demanding broadcasting environments, Vcodes enables running multiple encoding jobs on distributed machines, without any special configuration. The Vcodes server efficiently utilizes all available processing cores to provide faster than real-time HD encoding, and parallel transcoding of multiple jobs on separate servers. Video quality is never compromised with our video experts setting up and fine-tuning your encoding profiles to ensure top quality of final output.
All Major Professional Formats
Vcodes has decoding/encoding support for the most common broadcast and post-production, archival or mezzanie formats such as:
- ProRes
- AVC-Intra / Ultra
- XAVC
- XDCAM
- DVCPRO
- JPEG 2000
