HEVC, also known as H.265, is a next-generation compression standard that suggestion a number of enhancements over H.264. Compared to AVC (H.264) compression, HEVC is 50% more efficient, which translates into maintaining the same video quality at half the bitrate or double the video quality at the same bitrate. In other words, H.265 will save you on bandwidth overhead and cost, especially if you're transmitting over cellular networks. The award-winning line of Cube encoders is getting a major upgrade for NAB 2017. For the first time ever, Cube will be obtainable with both HEVC (H.265) and AVC (H.264) compression and your best of HD (1080) or UHD (4K) resolution support. Housed in the same ultra-portable Cube 655 chassis and requiring just 6 watts of power, the new Cube series is the smallest and most power-efficient HEVC codec on the market. To complement these new systems, a series of companion decoders will also be obtainable for both 1080 and 4K HEVC/AVC models.
