MAX H.264 Encoding Acceleration

Resolutions

Even frame sizes from 64 x 64 to 1920 x 1080

Bit rates

100 Kb/s to 50 Mb/s

Frame rates

15, 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 frames per second

Encoding profiles

Baseline (CAVLC) and main (CABAC) profiles

Encoding controls

  •  2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 level support

  •  GOP structure

  •  Constant bit rate (bit rate remains stable, quality varies depending on complexity of each frame)

  •  Constant quality (each video frame is analyzed to deliver the targeted quality, bit rate varies while keeping the lowest possible bit rate)

  •  Variable bit rate (squeezes out the highest possible quality at the average target bit rate )

  •  Noise filtering (saves bits by reducing high frequencies in the video)

  •  De-interlacing (ensures high-quality encodes of interlaced SD and 1080i source material)

  •  Data rate slider (produces smoother or more abrupt transitions)

  •  Sample rate monitoring (verifies compliance with targeted data rate)

  •  Scene detection (provides multi-pass quality in a single pass with Apple Compressor)
