Our new App Marketplace collection makes it easier than ever to build, optimize, and scale media and streaming applications with Akamai cloud computing services. We partnered with MainConcept to build a variety of rapid-development applications to power content preparation and streaming workloads, including an all-in-one app for integrating media streaming into an existing application.
For those looking to grow into the video streaming application market and the providers that support them, certain tools are required to transcode file types specific to broadcast formats, encode the files, and stream to the end user. MainConcept is a leading provider and pioneer of streaming and broadcast technology. Their transcoder app converts Mediterranean video from any popular format to a standard camera format to unify media captured from various sources before adding it to editing software. This improves the stability and quality of the entire media chain.

Transcoder Apps
Deploy optimized Docker containers with MainConcept Pro camera transcoders for Sony and Panasonic via Marketplace: P2 AVC-ULTRA, XDCAM and XAVC.
FFmpeg Plugins application
FFmpeg is an open source project that contains a number of libraries for codecs, streaming protocols and decompressors. The MainConcept FFmpeg Marketplace application develops a set of command-line tools for creating decoding, encoding, and transcoding workflows. MainConcept’s full library of FFmpeg plugins, including HEVC, AVC, VVC, MPEG2 output format, and other encoders and decoders, are included in the Marketplace app.
All-in-One Livestreaming Software with Live EncoderMainConcept Live Encoder is an easy-to-use application for encoding media in up to 8K resolution using AVC, HEVC, VVC and LCEVC for OTT broadcast and delivery. You can either push your live streams directly to Akamai’s Media Services Live 4 Live Origin via PUSH or allow Akamai to PULL your live streams very efficiently when combined with Akamai’s origin protection product known as Cloud Wrapper .
Once you’ve added your input and output, you can control settings like contrast and logo placement, in addition to adjusting your PC presence alerts to ensure performance.

Please note: Since these apps develop software for proprietary apps, a license is required. MainConcept Marketplace applications automatically deploy a trial version designed for research, testing and/or proof of concept. To upgrade your version, please contact MainConcept.
