Multiplexers and Demultiplexers that adhere to standards: MainConcept

Multiplexing and demultiplexing of complex audio/video streams from different sources into a single stream for video production or broadcast requires a solution that delivers the highest possible quality with strict adherence to format standards. The MainConcept^® codec product line gives you components that fit the bill, providing highly efficient and compatible multiplexing/demultiplexing for nearly every popular format—thanks to our almost three decades of innovation in the digital video and sound universe.

The MainConcept multiplexers and demultiplexers offer strict adherence to format standards allowing a high degree of compliance with software and hardware players, mobile devices, cell phones, game consoles, professional and consumer cameras, etc. Multiplexing can be done in either Streaming or File mode.
