Introduction
HVC-8701 enables real-time 4K UltraHD (2160p60) HEVC encoding at up to 20x less power consumption than a software-only solution. The HEVC/H.265 codec is gaining momentum
because it reduces bit rates by approximately 50% when compared to an equivalent quality video stream encoded using H.264, enabling more channels or higher resolution video
delivery over the same infrastructure. It is particularly relevant for 4K UltraHD transmission which requires a much higher stream capacity. These improvements are achieved at the
penalty of much higher computation complexity, with up to four general purpose server class processors required to perform a 4K 60fps software-based broadcast quality HEVC
encoding in real time.
HVC-8701 is tailored for professional media processing and are capable of performing professional grade 4Kp60 Main10 profile HEVC encoding at less than 35W power consumption.
The HVC-8701 adapter additionally features 4K video capture over built-in HDMI 2.0, Display Port or 4-ch SDI-3G video inputs for acquisition-based encoding in contribution
workflows. This card feature a simple-to-use API and example code for FFmpeg and GStreamer multimedia frameworks to streamline product development and their integration into
existing applications.
