Wohler Will Enable Customers to Easily Create High-Quality DivX® HEVC Files for Distribution to Multiple Devices

SAN DIEGO, CA, September 12, 2014—DivX, LLC, a leading provider of next-generation digital video solutions, today announced that Wohler Technologies has licensed the MainConcept® HEVC SDK, including support for DivX® HEVC technology, to enable file-based content preparation through Wohler’s RadiantGrid™ content distribution and transformation platform.

The MainConcept HEVC solution has been widely deployed by a number of companies across the video value chain seeking to meet the market demand for next-generation video. An implementation of the emerging H.265 video standard, the MainConcept HEVC SDK offers superior encoding quality, high compression efficiency and optimized system performance, along with ease of implementation designed to minimize time-to-market.

“The MainConcept® HEVC SDK offers a high-quality, production-ready HEVC encoder that is optimal for file-based software solutions such as Wohler’s RadiantGrid™ platform,” said Thomas Kramer, VP of Professional Products at DivX, LLC. “Additionally, by supporting the included DivX® HEVC profile, Wohler is joining a large number of partners tapping into the DivX ecosystem spanning devices, software and service offerings.”

The MainConcept HEVC SDK continues to make strides on encoding quality and performance, based on numerous in-house tests, currently realizing 30-45 percent bitrate improvements over H.264 in internal company benchmark tests. The patent-pending Smart Adaptive Bitrate Encoding Technology (SABET™) achieved more than a 30 percent performance gain with transcoding adaptive formats such as DivX HEVC adaptive streaming.
