The codec is optimised for fast encoding of large resolution video content while at the same time preserving high perceptual qualities of the generated compressed video streams. It was originally developed by experts in video compression technology, software developers with background on practical codec optimisation and experienced researchers with many years of activity in multimedia signal processing. The Turing codec was designed with the ambition of creating the fastest high quality HEVC software encode
Due to its good compression performance, low memory consumption and low execution time characteristics, we expect the Turing codec to become one of the most widely used open source HEVC software implementations. You can find more information about the codec in this IBC paper .
The software is available open source under the GPLv2 licence. The source code is available on our GitHub repository. You can find more information on how to use the codec in the documentation . Also, you may be interested in contributing to our open source project.
