Ingest from MP4/MOV and MXF

While Apple ProRes video is usually wrapped into a QuickTime (MOV) container, it can now also be embedded into MXF, making it perfectly suited for professional production workflows. The MainConcept Decoder SDK for Apple ProRes supports both file formats as well as Elementary Streams for seamless integration.

Optimized at full precision

The MainConcept Decoder SDK for Apple ProRes meets the SMPTE precision specifications. Multi-threaded and optimized, it delivers amazing speed on any operating system. The new asynchronous I/O mode can increase speed or reduce latency for output picture processing.
