Codecs

Professional video encoders and decoders for standards-based media workflows.

nablet builds professional video encoders and decoders for software vendors, system integrators, and broadcasters who need standards-compliant, verifier-passing output and performance that generic and open-source codecs cannot match. Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Why nablet codecs

Standards-compliant, verifier-passing, and faster than generic implementations.

Open-source and general-purpose codecs are convenient, but they routinely fall short on the requirements that matter in professional delivery: strict standards compliance, vendor verification, and the speed needed for live and high-volume workflows. nablet codecs are engineered specifically for those requirements.

Passes the verifiers

Output meets professional standards and passes vendor validation such as the Sony Verifier — checks that material encoded with generic tools like FFmpeg typically fails.

Low-level optimized

Each codec is hand-optimized for modern processor architectures, delivering high throughput and low latency for both file-based and live workflows.

🎯

Superior quality

Careful, spec-correct implementations produce cleaner, more accurate results than off-the-shelf encoders — quality your customers can see and measure.

XDCAM highlight

The best XDCAM encoding available — including live.

nablet is recognised for best-in-class XDCAM quality. Beyond file-based encoding, we offer a dedicated live XDCAM encoder that runs significantly faster than competing implementations, including FFmpeg — making it suitable for real-time contribution and broadcast scenarios where generic encoders cannot keep up.
