VC-3 for Avid DNxHD/DNxHR

Simplifying integration with Avid professional production formats

Generate and playback DNxHD- and DNxHR-compliant content

The MainConcept® VC-3 Encoder and Decoder SDKs for Avid DNxHD and Avid DNxHR are software-only components that enable application developers to integrate with production tools like Avid Media Composer and Avid Interplay storage solutions or cameras. Avid DNxHD and DNxHR are based on SMPTE 2019–2006 (VC-3). DNxHD allows 8-bit and 10-bit depth with 4:2:2 chroma sampling of 1920x1080 and 1280x720 pixels at bitrates up to 220 Mbps. DNxHR extends the range of resolutions up to 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels) with chroma sampling up to 4:4:4 and 12-bit depth. The SDK supports wrapping and unwrapping DNxHD/DNxHR content in and from MXF containers.
