Manage workflow fragmentation
Effectively manage different codecs and workflows for different devices. Improve performance of legacy devices, quickly and without disrupting existing workflows.
Unlock efficiency gains
Whether you operate a social media platform, a video calling application or a live sports service, there are common key challenges that impact the success of your product or service. LCEVC unlocks unique efficiency gains:
Better compression
AVC: 40-50%
HEVC: 30-40%
AV1: 20-30%
EVC: 20-25%
VVC: 15-20%
Faster encoding
AVC: 2.5x
HEVC: 3x
AV1: >3x
EVC: >3x
VVC: >3x
Broad device support
Roll-out to all clients or phase-in deployment as non-LCEVC players can still play the base codec.
