MainConcept Easy Video API (EVA)
Category Video Processing
MainConcept Easy Video API ‘EVA’ is a new and innovative solution developed with producers and broadcasters in mind, eliminating the need to choose between software and hardware encoders and instead harnessing the benefits of both with little hassle. MainConcept EVA is a set of libraries hosting the most common and well performing video codecs, including AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265 and AV1. Combined with the high performing processing technologies of AMD, Intel and NVIDIA, MainConcept EVA provides industry-leading software and hardware to save time, money and effort as well as increasing quality and efficiency.
The MainConcept EVA interface can be easily described as one SDK with a unified API, entirely removing the need for four separate APIs depending on your workflow and encoding/decoding requirements. MainConcept EVA performs up to 75% faster than regular solutions, taking time, cost and quality into account at all times. For the media and entertainment industry, the efficiency and convenience of a unified API is simply irreplaceable, which is why MainConcept EVA has been designed specifically to meet the demands of the modern video workflow in every way. MainConcept EVA can be deployed across a plethora of industry-wide applications to meet the enhanced power efficiency and processing performance demanded by today’s software and hardware video-coding workflows.
Another striking benefit offered by a unified API includes streamlined front-end processing, allowing for all front-end services to focus on displaying data efficiently and at a high quality. MainConcept EVA provides a centralized point of reference for all encoding needs, specializing in the specifics of a high-demand, high-quality and low-cost video encoding workflow. The unified API technologies provided by MainConcept EVA offer reduced complexity and improved efficiency, with less energy and power required to monitor and manage multiple APIs addressing different issues at the same time. MainConcept EVA allows for broadcasters and vendors to scale their operations easily, with the opportunity to simply add more resources to your API infrastructure as needed rather than run all four APIs at once, even if you don’t need them all.
For users that want to integrate hardware-based GPU encoding or decoding into a solution, typically this would require a multitude of different SDKs and APIs from different vendors. By incorporating a unified API, the future of video workflow management with MainConcept EVA is less complex, allowing developers the choice of further streamlining their workflows from a unified interface. MainConcept EVA has already proven to be a valuable and indispensable addition for developers by offering the function to detect hardware availability and codec capabilities with a unified point of contact for development support wherever it is needed.
MainConcept EVA is simply irreplaceable in efficiency and convenience. It is designed to meet the demands of a modern content workflow, taking into consideration elements such as remote working, high demand deadlines and the quality of the content being distributed. Harnessing the power of the world’s strongest, most respected pro codecs, MainConcept EVA is the ultimate unified API, constructed with high consumer and quality demands in mind. MainConcept EVA has been developed for industry-wide applications that require the enhanced power efficiency and processing performance demanded by today’s software and hardware video encoding workflows.
On a multi-platform scale, MainConcept EVA allows users to integrate AMD AMF SDKs, Intel Quick Sync Video and NVIDIA NVENC in a far more efficient manor than previously. MainConcept EVA also consumes less energy with more power efficient GPUs and provides extended codec features for improved quality and professional formats using the MainConcept software libraries.
In an industry that is so rapidly moving towards a high-demand, high-quality and automated future, MainConcept EVA provides a helping hand in the ways of efficiency and quality for video encoding workflows. Without the complex need to choose between software and hardware encoders/decoders, broadcasters and providers can carry out large and tedious encoding tasks with no hassle, avoiding the complexity of four separate APIs for one job.
