THE WORLD’S FASTEST HEVC CODEC
Explore Beamr FFmpeg Plugin BEAMR 5 Advantages
HDR Support
10 and 12 bit color for expanded detail and realism.
SEI messaging for SMPTE 2084 and 2086 metadata, including transfer function, luminance values, mastering display.
Supports WCG ITU-R BT.2020 standard for more realistic color rendering.
Compatible with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. Blog post on BEAMR 5 support for Dolby Vision and HDR10.
Multi-stream (ABR) Support
Enables multiple output streams of different resolutions and bitrates from a single source and encoding instance for effective adaptive bitrate (ABR) delivery.
Robust and simplified encoding workflow for use with various ABR delivery methods such as MPEG-DASH.
