UHD HDR at HD bitrates

Enhancing streams with LCEVC allows for the delivery of UHD streams at bandwidths typically used for HD video. That’s because LCEVC can deliver better or equivalent quality at up to 40% lower bitrates. It also enables HDR 10-bit over 8-bit codecs such as h.264 or VP9.

Unlock AV1 and VVC streaming at scale

LCEVC is the only way to deploy latest-generation codecs such as AV1 and VVC at scale by enabling you to address millions of devices that don’t have dedicated hardware support for these emerging codecs. LCEVC’s unique low-complexity design enables higher resolutions at sustainable battery consumption.
