RawCodecs 3.5

RawCodecs by Stardvb, Inc. is a high-performance toolkit for decoding, encoding, and transforming raw audio, image, and video data. Designed for demanding broadcast, vision, and archival workflows, it offers low-latency processing, precise color and sample handling, and reliable metadata preservation.

Key capabilities:

• Unified SDK for raw media streams and files, with streaming and batch modes
• Support for high bit depths, HDR, and common planar and packed pixel layouts
• Multi-threaded processing with optional hardware acceleration where available
• Flexible color conversion (RGB↔YUV, subsampling, transfer functions)
• Deterministic conversions and reproducible outputs
• Metadata pass-through and tagging
• Extensible plugin architecture for custom codecs and transforms
• Comprehensive logging, diagnostics, and test assets

Benefits:

• Preserve source fidelity from ingest to delivery
• Reduce storage and transport costs without sacrificing quality
• Shorten integration time with consistent APIs and tooling

Whether you are building a live contribution path, a computer vision pipeline, a transcoding farm, or a preservation workflow, RawCodecs provides the performance, control, and reliability needed to move raw media at scale.
