After the acquisition by DivX, MainConcept announced that Panasonic will distribute a pair of custom-developed transcoding solutions for IT-based production systems supporting the latest HD codecs for the popular P2HD broadcast and video production platform AVC-Intra and for newly developed professional and consumer video production platform AVCHD.

Developed by MainConcept exclusively for Panasonic, the MainConcept® AVCHD to DVCPRO HD Transcoder enables transcoding of Panasonic AVCHD files into P2-based DVCPRO HD. The DVCPROHD output from this application is fully compliant with the DVCPRO HD (SMPTE 370M) standard.

The MainConcept AVC-Intra to DVCPRO Transcoder transcodes P2HD-based AVC-Intra 50 or AVC-Intra 100 files (compliant with the AVC-Intra frame coding specification provided by Panasonic) into P2-based DVCPRO 25/50 or DVCPRO HD. The DVCPRO output from this application is fully compliant with the DVCPRO 25/50 (SMPTE 314M) as well as DVCPRO HD (SMPTE 370M) standards. Additionally, the software converts AVC-Intra clips to uncompressed video of UYVY, YUY2, BGR3 or BGR4 colour format into AVI container.
