Here are the key features of the MainConcept Codec Suite 5:
* MPEG-1/2, DVCPRO, AVC-Intra Smart Rendering to optimize the editing workflow with Premiere Pro.*
* Dolby Digital Professional 5.1 Add-On to support Blu-ray Disc, AVCHD and DVD creation
* MPEG-2, DVCPRO and AVC-Intra in generic MXF OP1-a and OP-Atom containers.**
* CUDA H.264/AVC Encoding support for NVIDIA GPU accelerated H.264/AVC encoding for selected presets (performance gain depends on the timeline complexity).
* Export up to 6 channels AES-3 audio in XDCAM, P2 and generic MXF formats

*General H.264/AVC Smart Rendering support is scheduled for an upcoming update.
**Generic MXF AVC-Intra currently only supports import of OP-1a.

Both the Professional and Broadcast versions of Codec Suite 5 turn MPEG-1/2 and H.264/AVC editing with Premiere Pro CS5 into a productive, high-quality workflow. They come with CUDA accelerated H.264/AVC encoding that offers export of your projects by making use of Nvidia’s GPU hardware acceleration architecture. The ultra-fast smart rendering for MPEG-1/2, AVC-Intra and DVCPRO in MainConcept Codec Suite 5, helps to speed up export time dramatically. The new plug-in offers advanced export settings that give the user full flexibility to specify the target format’s details in a wide range, and both to create as well as save your own custom presets for future use. Besides two channel export, it is now also possible to export 4 and 6 AES-3 audio channels to the various MXF formats.
An additional Dolby Digital Professional Add-On for Codec Suite 5 allows exporting your projects with stereo or 5.1 multichannel Dolby Digital Professional audio.
The performance will depend on the PC's capabilities, and a free demo version is available to help users evaluate performance on their own systems. MainConcept Codec Suite 5.0 can only be used with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (not included).

- CUDA compute capability 1.1 and higher is strongly recommended (excludes certain GeForce 8800 models – GTS, Ultra. Compute capability 1.0 works in general for encoding, but has known issues.
- In addition to these requirements, video editing requires that your system is operating smoothly.
