Why use VC-6?

 

For a wide range of production applications, the overheads of needing to encode and store multiple renditions add complexity and time to any workflow. VC-6 has been designed from the ground up to tackle these challenges:

 

 

More efficient workflows

In both live and off-line production, there is a vast waste of computing time, storage and resources due to inefficient compression or the need to generate multiple renditions.

 

Accelerating processing times

Many image and video mezzanine formats lack decoding flexibility to get to the resolutions and specific content you need, slowing down projects or applications like media indexing.

 

Maintaining quality & low latency

Delivering the highest resolution within manageable bandwidths whilst maintaining sufficiently low latencies is a key challenge in many workflows including remote production.

 

 

Benefits

The power and flexibility of VC-6s unique hierarchical approach accelerates a host of applications, reducing compute and storage costs and enabling the transition to remote and cloud-based workflows.

Fast, efficient processing

 

Designed to utilise the parallel processing capabilities of CPUs and GPUs for fast encoding and decoding.

Powering the latest workflows

Powering the latest workflows your production is changing, and the demands of ever-increasing resolutions like 4k and 8k, and the pressures of working in today’s challenging conditions mean we need to move to technologies that provide the speed, agility and flexibility required.

Decode at light speed

With multi-resolution decoding from a single file, you can access the rendition you need faster. From an 8k VC-6 file, you will be able to decode twice as fast as JPEG 2000 at 8k, 5x faster for 4k and 10x faster for HD. This flexible, fast decoding coupled with region-of-interest control also accelerates AI media indexing by up to 5x and removes the need to transfer assets when analyzing remote media.

Save energy, save money, save the planet

VC-6 is between 5 to 10x more energy efficient than JPEG 2000. That means OPEX and power savings for you and all of us doing our bit to save the planet. It might just mean your laptop battery lasts a lot longer whilst editing on location too.
