Playing MGW Ace Encoder Video Streams
The MGW Ace Encoder streams can be played using VITEC Decoders or third party decoders that
support the relevant compression standards. While MPEG-4 H.264 decoders are widely available
from many vendors, decoding of real-time advanced HEVC streams is offered only by selected
manufacturers. For HEVC decoding solutions by VITEC you may use MGW Ace Decoder or MGW
D265 hardware appliance, EZ TV software player, HDM850+ PCI decoder card or VITEC’s EZ TV
Mobile App for Android devices. For recommendations on third-party decoders, consult VITEC or
VITEC’s Channel Partners.
Below are few recommended third-party common software decoders. Please note that the highly
popular VLC Player features very basic support for HEVC streams. While certain configurations
may work well on VLC - various advanced HEVC compression tools MGW Ace Encoder uses are not
yet supported by VLC. If you encounter abnormal behavior with VLC version 2.x, try using
VideoLan's latest beta builds 3.x (or higher version), or use one of VITEC's professional HEVC
decoders.
