“Certainly one of the major challenges service providers and content owners face in switching to a new codec is converting their vast entertainment catalogues,” said Avni Rambhia, senior industry analyst of Frost & Sullivan’s Digital Media Practice. It is hoped that this will speed market adoption of HEVC by lowering costs and reducing the time needed for mass transcoding of video content libraries, which would be a major barrier for content owners contemplating the switch to HEVC.

It uses Rovi’s patent-pending Smart Adaptive Bitrate Encoding Technology (SABET), which can allow users to process up to 10 simultaneous output streams from a single source, reducing CPU cycles by using common encoding processes across all levels.

The SDK is aimed at developers who serve the broadcast, content creation, mobile, and consumer industries and is designed to streamline the adoption of the new compression standard and help to speed the conversion of entertainment libraries into HEVC-compatible streaming formats such as DivX Plus Streaming, Apple HLS, or MPEG-DASH. Rovi’s SDK is one of the first broadly available solutions for streamlining the integration of HEVC into virtually any video application, service or environment. The MainConcept HEVC SDK 1.0 also includes Rovi technology to reduce content conversion times.Īs High Efficiency Video Coding (H.265) promises to halve the bitrates necessary to transmit HD at the same quality compared to H.264 (AVC), it is attracting widespread interest for inclusion in bandwidth-constrained services, such as mobile video, and for higher resolution content, such as Ultra HD.

Rovi has introduced a software development kit for HEVC, to make it simpler for developers to add the new compression standard to their products.
