Codecsys™ 2.4 Video Optimization Software
CodecSys is more flexible, more scalable, and delivers a lower cost-of-ownership than traditional hardware based, proprietary encoders.
Data SheetCodecSys™ is the industry’s most powerful software based encoder and transcoder. It is more flexible, more scalable, and delivers a lower cost-of-ownership than traditional hardware based, proprietary encoders. CodecSys encodes and transcodes both live and file-based video streams and assets. It is easily tuned to deliver higher quality at current bandwidth rates or maintain current quality at much lower bandwidth requirements.

CodecSys is more flexible, more scalable, and delivers a lower cost-of-ownership than traditional hardware based, proprietary encoders.
