Medical Video Recording
Media Components for the Medical Industry
For medical image and video processing, where every detail matters, flawless video is key. MainConcept video codecs – the first choice for professional broadcast and production – combine performance, latency and quality to lift medical software solutions to the next level.
MAINCONCEPT MEDICAL VIDEO RECORDING SDK
The MainConcept Medical Video Recording SDK enables device manufacturers and software developers to build next-generation medical video recording systems that meet the highest clinical and regulatory standards. Designed specifically for surgical and diagnostic imaging applications, it delivers exceptional video quality, robust performance, and broad interoperability across both classical and IP-based environments.
The Medical Video Recording SDK provides all essential components for capturing, encoding, multiplexing, and streaming medical video—from HD to 4K and 3D—whether recorded locally or streamed over IP networks.
Video codecs
MPEG-2, AVC/H.264, HEVC/H.265 encoders and decoders with professional-grade 4:2:2 10-bit quality.Audio codecs
AAC, MPEG Audio, and PCM for high-fidelity surgical sound capture.Multiplexers/Demultiplexers
MPEG-TS, MP4, and MXF containers for recording, archiving, and compliant playback.Processing tools
Image scaling, frame rate conversion, and audio resampling ensure consistent quality across different input sources.Network streaming
Built-in RTMP client/server modules with adaptive bitrate (ABR), DASH, and HLS packaging for real-time or on-demand streaming to local servers or cloud workflows.GPU Acceleration
NVIDIA, Intel, and AMD GPU-accelerated video encoding, decoding and processing.BUILT FOR QUALITY, PERFORMANCE & COMPLIANCE
Every MainConcept component adheres to international codec and container standards, ensuring compatibility with medical imaging systems, post-processing tools, and cloud infrastructures. With unified APIs for CPU and GPU, developers can deliver consistent results across platforms while maintaining the high fidelity required in clinical video documentation.
Our all-in-one libraries make the decision simple by providing a single API for all vendors.
