Spin Digital delivers VVC support for 8K encoder/decoder built with AJA Video I/O Cards

Media solutions provider Spin Digital is envisioning new 8K video production systems as demand takes off across the world. Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, the company also holds a presence in Japan, a region driving 8K workflow adoption in broadcast.

Its video and audio encoding/decoding solutions and media players, which leverage AJA PCIe cards for video I/O, are used in a range of applications from broadcasting to VR live streaming in 8K up to 120 frames per second (fps), displaying 16K content on video walls, and more. The company now releases an update to its live production encoder, Spin Enc Live, and the associated SDK, Spin SDK, which adds support for the Versatile Video Coding (VVC) codec, also known as H.266.

Spin Enc Live initially launched as an 8K 60 fps encoder for live production supporting HEVC (H.265). With the latest update, Spin Enc Live is now capable of 8K VVC encoding. Depending upon the customer’s needs and preferences, they can opt to use HEVC, or choose VVC to manage 8K HDR footage at 60 fps. To enable SDI input, Spin Enc Live is integrated with AJA Corvid 44 12G and Kona 5 PCIe cards. Corvid 44 12G serves as the main capture device for live production, while customers using desktop systems leverage Kona 5.

AJA Corvid 44 12G and Kona 5 also provide more flexibility for Spin Digital’s customers interested in less traditional high-resolution formats, such as panoramic images, which involves stitching together four 4K cameras to generate a 16K by 2K image. Customers can input 2x2, 4x4, or 1x4 configurations, and can also capture sixteen channels of audio within one SDI link and another sixteen channels within another for 3D audio formats such as the 22.2 format used in Japan.
