Video codecs for communication, broadcasting, archiving and editing.

Without a doubt, we are living in a digital age surrounded by image and video at all times. In order to smoothly run the abundant colorful video that we regularly access online or through other sources, we use the most common video codecs such as H.265, H.264, VP8, MPEG4, WMV, H.263, MPEG2, etc. These codecs offer reliable high-performance that allows users to enjoy a superior image and video experience.

ArcSoft has been developing superior quality software video codecs for more than 10 years. Our codecs run on major CPUs, all types of ARM chipsets, Intel X86 and GPUs, and on various operating systems, from Android, Windows to iOS, as well as on feature phone operating systems. ArcSoft software video codec packages provide both strong flexibility and scalability for upper level applications.

How does ArcSoft make it happen?

Flexibility: ArcSoft combines audio codecs, image codecs, parsers and containers. Our software video codecs provide extreme flexibility to video applications because the codec interface can be revised according to application requirements. This then enables the user to enjoy high quality, high performance video-related application experiences, such as video editor, streaming video player, secure video player, video converter, video thumbnail, and more.

Scalability: As a software solution, we can support new video codecs more quickly and easily than ASIC solutions. Because of this, ArcSoft video codec solutions will always be available first when new codec standards are finalized.

What is the future of Codecs?

HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) is coming soon and we are ready to support both encoders and decoders, on ARM, X86 and GPU.
