MainConcept adds CTQ encoding for AVC/H.264 VOD segments
MainConcept has made Constant Target Quality (CTQ) encoding available for segment-based Video-on-Demand (VOD) using the AVC/H.264 codec. This feature is intended to optimize encoding workflows for VOD content.
Key Takeaways
- MainConcept added Constant Target Quality (CTQ) encoding for segment-based Video-on-Demand workflows.
- The new CTQ feature applies to the AVC/H.264 codec.
- MainConcept identifies segment-based VOD encoding as the primary use case for CTQ.
Why It Matters
MainConcept is extending CTQ encoding into segment-based VOD workflows, giving AVC/H.264 users another option for tuning encoding around a specific delivery model. The immediate effect is a more targeted encoding feature for teams working on VOD segments rather than a generic codec update. In the broader streaming toolchain, this is a software-side optimization inside the long-running AVC/H.264 ecosystem. The main signal to watch next is whether MainConcept expands CTQ support beyond AVC/H.264 or details additional workflow-specific use cases for VOD encoding.
