About

The Multi-Format Player is a free and widely applicable tool in file-based environments. Due to its extremely powerful decoding engine, it can play the majority of SD and HD video formats. It supports camera, editing, archiving, video server, streaming, and download formats. Therefore, it can be used for ingest, review purposes, or quality control.

Format Support

The Multi-Format Player supports wide range of professional and commercial containers and codecs.

Broadcast features

The Multi-Format Player is equipped with the usual player controls as well as single-frame stepping and looping. Furthermore, a frame-accurate seeking and playback of video files are possible. It also displays LTC and VITC timecode. A special highlight is the ability to output the video through professional interface cards as HD-SDI signal. Another highlight is the side-by-side view, which allows a direct comparison of two video files on two monitors, for instance. Thus, the Multi-Format Player is ideal for video quality comparisons.
