Beamr is a world leader in content-adaptive video encoding and optimization solutions.

Beamr 5x is a first-of-its-kind commercial implementation of a quality driven content-adaptive HEVC software encoder. This innovative product utilizes Beamr's more than 50 patents pending and granted to produce HEVC video encodes that are up to 50% smaller than Beamr 5, our market-leading HEVC software encoder.

The industry is approaching an inflection point where services unable to deliver 1080p in under 2Mbps, and 4K HDR under 10Mbps, will struggle to compete in the crowded entertainment services marketplace. Beamr 5x has been shown to deliver amazingly low bitrates while maintaining unusually high video quality. Video distributors seeking a solution to the high bandwidth cost of mobile and service operators delivering content into markets where bandwidth is constrained are encouraged to evaluate Beamr 5x for its ability to lower bitrates without compromising video quality.

The innovation at the heart of Beamr 5x is the perceptual optimization technology that powers Beamr’s H.264 content-adaptive video optimizer and is used by the world’s largest media & entertainment companies.

Benchmarked against other advanced codecs such as VP9, Beamr 5x offers an enormous performance, quality, and playback ecosystem lead as all output streams are fully inside the standard of HEVC and 100% compatible with popular ABR streaming mechanisms such as MPEG-DASH and HLS.
