Alteon is proud to announce its latest industry-changing feature: support for MV-HEVC spatial video. This addition is set to redefine creative workflows for content creators, enabling an immersive and dynamic media production experience.
MV-HEVC (multiview high efficiency video coding) is a progressive video codec extension that can deliver multiview video coding, including 3D footage, with exceptional visual quality and up to 50 percent bitrate savings compared to its predecessors. By supporting MV-HEVC files, Alteon is embracing the future of immersive video technology.
This announcement caps off a highly productive year for Alteon. The platform's leap in 2023 saw the release of an enhanced iPad app that seamlessly connects Final Cut Pro workflows across iPad and macOS. As well, Alteon expanded its capabilities to support augmented reality (AR) projects, allowing users to store, view and collaborate on USDZ and other 3D formats, further cementing its position as a cutting-edge leader in cloud-based creative workflows.
The integration of MV-HEVC into Alteon's platform aligns perfectly with the latest advancements in immersive video technology, which seeks to transcend traditional media formats, offering more interactive experiences. This innovation dovetails with recent moves from Apple, such as the introduction of the iPhone 15 Pro's ability to record spatial video for the upcoming Apple Vision Pro headset, marking a significant leap in video technology.
"Today's announcement is more than just a technological advancement; it's a testament to our commitment to empowering creators in this rapidly evolving digital landscape," said Matt Cimaglia, co-founder and CEO of Alteon.io. "By supporting MV-HEVC content, we are not only keeping pace with the industry's progress, but are also providing our users with the tools they need to explore new dimensions of creativity and collaboration."
Once a video is housed in Alteon's secure cloud environment, owners and creative collaborators can access their content seamlessly. They can comment on media files, invite guests to review and approve projects, share password-protected screeners and integrate footage directly into their NLE for cloud-based editing.
