MainConcept ShowCase provides a simple and efficient way to evaluate MainConcept codecs for decoding on your Windows PC. It enables experts and developers to play back videos from numerous formats and streams:
Blu-ray Disc*
SVC Baseline/High Profiles
Adobe Flash F4V streams
AVC-Intra Class 50 and Class 100
DVD*
Sony XDCAM HD, XDCAM EX, XDCAM DV and XDCAM IMX
Panasonic P2 DVCPRO and AVC-Intra
Sony PSP
Apple iPod
JPEG2000 DCI
AVCHD*
… and many more!
MainConcept ShowCase frees developers from integrating MainConcept’s Codec SDK decoding components into their own development for just testing the features, performance and quality. The evaluation process can now start right away by downloading our player application. MainConcept ShowCase comes for free and has all MainConcept DirectShow filters included. It is the perfect way to evaluate the MainConcept DirectShow filters, because the player includes the same filter versions as our renowned Codec SDK, and it gives an idea of their versatile functionalities.
The easy-to-use software player includes some new features that makes decoding even more convenient, such as a scrubber framewise stepping through a clip, etc.
ShowCase now also allows DXVA 2.0 Hardware Acceleration for H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 and VC-1 streams to enhance decoding performance on many systems. The new ShowCase now also includes a SVC Decoder, so that you can have a look at this exciting format. SVC (Scalable Video Coding) is a new extension to the H.264/AVC standard that allows a video stream to be encoded with multiple quality layers.
If the DivX Decoder filter is registered on your system, you can use it for playing back DivX encoded clips in MainConcept ShowCase as well.
In case of VC-1 decoding, MainConcept ShowCase uses the WMA Audio Deocder and ASF Reader that comes with the Windows operating system.
MainConcept ShowCase comes with MeritMe! This easy-to-use tool enables uses to change the usage priority of the filters, so that these will be definitely used for playing back your footage.
The new version of ShowCase allows users to install all demo decoders separately without the need to install the player GUI. You simply select the Demo Decoder Pack you need, in order to test it in the Windows Media Player. And if you do not need ShowCase, simply do not select it, and it is not installed. This makes it more convenient to evaluate the MainConcept Decoder Packs also in other media players than ShowCase.
* If a DVD, Blu-ray or AVCHD file contains Dolby Digital (AC-3), audio cannot be played back and has to be muted, so that only video is decoded in ShowCase.
Availability
MainConcept ShowCase is currently available for Windows only (32-bit/64-bit). The 64-bit version is only available for Windows 7 and Vista.
