The introduction of the ARM-based Apple M1 chipset for the new MacBooks and Mac mini, as well as ARM processors already in production within the Windows PC ecosystem, brings us to an inflection point within the video production industry.

The average consumer may not know the difference between an ARM-based MacBook or PC and the x86 version. They will, however, know when software doesn’t work on their new hardware. At MainConcept, we are making the transition seamless by bringing our best-in-class video codecs to macOS and Windows on ARM processors.

Today’s production workflows are heterogeneous deployments, i.e. running on local server farms, or in the cloud, or as hybrid solutions. No standard software fits all possible requirements for data transfer, platform integration, scalability, user interface or codec and streaming features. Thus creating an optimized broadcast workflow is a challenge. MainConcept 2GO products are the building blocks with the perfect balance between flexible usage and fast integration in your work environment or service. Bundled in an isolated container each 2GO product is unique, easy to deploy, scale and ready-to-use in any process. Whether you are looking for a live streaming feature, an archiving module, a distributed transcoder, or an on-demand packaging and distribution add-on. The usage scenarios for MainConcept 2GO are endless. And it’s as easy as download, install and use.

The MainConceptⓇ 2GO products are containerized applications that run in all environments supported by Docker. Known systems include Microsoft Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 & 2019, Linux and most cloud platforms from Amazon, Microsoft and Google. Support on Windows 7 and macOS is limited with Docker Toolbox and a 3rd party virtualization software.

Please note that on Windows you must configure Docker for Linux Containers, so you should use the CE (Community Edition) rather than EE (Enterprise Edition) version of Docker. Docker CE requires a full GUI to install, so for this reason, Windows Server 2016 users must have the full ‘desktop experience’ installed. The lighter-weight versions of Windows Server 2016 cannot be used because they do not have a full GUI. Other versions of Windows only have a full GUI. Due to some limitations in VirtualBox, MainConcept 2GO does not work if you are running the VM tool with Windows Server 2016.

Computers running MainConcept 2GO products need an outgoing internet connection via port 443 (https).

In real-time you can encode content into multi-bitrate and multi-resolution layers, for a complete OTT ready output that includes playlist generation. The powerful solution also offers a variety of prepared encoding presets for simplified parallel live encoding, upload to supported CDNs, and live archiving.MainConcept Live Encoder is available in both Windows and Linux, as a web-application or easily integrated using REST-API.

Internet browser support is a must have feature for any web-based application looking to engage more viewers. HEVC/H.265 is a top codec of choice for high quality video viewing, but HTML5 doesn’t support it, which degrades the user experience.WebAssembly, aka WebASM or Wasm, is a simple option to securely view videos on any web browser, anywhere, using the latest and greatest codec technology, without needing 3rd party browser plug-ins. WebAssembly lets you develop secure JavaScript (JS) self-contained apps that run in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari.MainConcept WebASM HEVC Decoder SDK is an ideal solution for browser-based workflows that require HEVC/H.265 preview, playback, editing or monitoring. With the MainConcept HEVC Decoder, you can build powerful applications with optimized performance for multi-threaded H.265 video decoding on any device with an Internet browser supporting WebAssembly. And, since WebAssembly is a binary format, the MainConcept WebASM HEVC Decoder does not require specialized hardware or software.Our WebASM HEVC decoder offers the same feature set as its powerful cross-platform counterpart, supporting 8-bit, 10-bit and 12-bit profiles up to 4:4:4. It comes with a simple tool for testing performance and conformance using different processing modes, and includes JavaScript samples for quick application integration.

• AAC and HE-AAC offer a significantly better audio quality while using the same bit rate as other audio codecs, especially for bit rates below 192 kbps.


• AAC may only need a fraction of the bandwidth than MP3 for your field of application (e.g. broadcasting concerts), thus resulting file sizes will be smaller too.


• AAC offers a significantly higher coding as well as compression efficiency and allows you a higher flexibility in usage than MP3.
