Next-Gen ARM SDKs
MainConcept makes the switch to ARM-based technology simple
The PC chipset market has expanded beyond the traditional x86 offerings. Apple Silicon and Qualcomm Snapdragon X, both built on ARM architecture, have shown impressive performance and low power consumption, as well as a friendly price tag. Today, all new Apple Mac systems come with Apple Silicon while Snapdragon X Windows-based laptops are available from many vendors, including Microsoft, Samsung, HP, Lenovo, Asus and Acer.
These ARM-based systems are well-suited for consumer grade video experiences, but not so much for professional video production and broadcast. This is where the MainConcept SDKs close the gap, providing optimized codec, format, processing and streaming libraries for these use-cases. Our ARM optimized HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 encoders and decoders feature 4:2:2 10-bit formats that are not natively available or offer limited support.
Build the same products and services on Windows, macOS and Linux with the MainConcept ARM SDKs. Why sacrifice quality and speed when you can get the same for ARM-based systems with enhanced battery life and low power consumption?
