NotchLC codec support in Smode

[hyacinthe]

I've heard about NotchLC recently and I feel it could be a great addition to Smode. Notch is working hard on getting their GPU-accelerated codec NotchLC and, according to them it looks very promising: https://youtu.be/-f1uCh5Q8T8

It could be an alternative (or replacement) to HAP in Smode future versions. Basically it's somewhere between HAP quality (worst case) to ProRes 4444 quality (best case) at a fraction of the size, with fast encoding. They encourage software developers to add NotchLC support. The have a plugin for Adobe CC suite, and it is natively supported in VentuZ, Touch Designer, disguise. The codec is free to use and integrate. https://notchlc.notch.one/

Hi Hyacinthe,

Thanks for the head up.
We already consider Notch LC integration in Smode very seriously.
We are convinced this is a great contribution to the Media Server market.
We will not ship it in the next release, but we wil keep you informed when it will be the case.
All the best
