We’re excited to announce a powerful new addition to our software offering, the first codec plugin officially approved by DaVinci Resolve Studio’s maker, Blackmagic Design.

If you’re working in professional post-production, whether for broadcast, OTT, or cinematic content, this plugin gives you the freedom to finish projects inside Resolve without jumping through multiple apps. Here’s how and why it matters.

Why this is a game-changer

1. This plugin lets you render project timelines in the same professional camera formats they were recorded in say, from Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2, or other pro formats, directly within Resolve.

2. It offers native access to advanced encoders, for example, HEVC/H.265 Main/Main 10 profiles, and supports up to 12K resolution in newer versions.

3. Built-in presets for broadcast deliverables, including SD/HD AS-11 UK DPP (MPEG-2, AVC/H.264) with metadata templates.

4. Works across platforms: Windows, macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon), and even Linux workflows (depending on version) for Resolve Studio.

5. Time-saving workflow: By enabling editing ➜ color ➜ delivery all in one app, you reduce conversions, re-wrapping, and external rendering steps.

Key features at a glance

1. Encode HEVC/H.265 (Main & Main 10) up to 12K resolution.

2. GPU-accelerated encoding modes (for NVIDIA RTX boards) to boost performance.

3. Professional camera format support: Sony XDCAM, XAVC, and Panasonic P2/AVC-ULTRA, plus container support such as Blu-ray, DVD, and MXF.

4. Broadcast-ready presets: AS-11 UK DPP (SD/HD) with XML metadata templates.

5. Seamless integration inside DaVinci Resolve Studio’s Deliver page: select your preset and deliver.

Who this is for

If you recognize yourself in any of the following, this plugin will add real value:

• Broadcast houses delivering to strict spec clients (e.g., AS-11 workflows)
• OTT/streaming producers creating content in 4K, 8K or beyond and needing HEVC/H.265 efficiency
• Post-production studios using professional camera formats and desirous of staying native through the pipeline
• Filmmakers and creatives who want to stay in Resolve for the full chain editing, grading, delivery without external toss-offs

---

How it works (quick overview)

1. Install the plugin into DaVinci Resolve Studio (v17 or higher; note: some specs show Resolve Studio 19 or higher for certain features).

2. In the Deliver (render) page, choose a preset from the MainConcept plugin (e.g., HEVC 12K, AS-11 UK DPP, Sony XAVC).

3. Adjust metadata or timeline as required (for broadcast workflows you might need to adhere to specific bar/tones or channel layouts).

4. Render directly. Your output is now aligned with professional format specifications and bypasses external transcoding apps.

5. Deliver with confidence: format, codec, metadata all handled in one workflow.

Why you should trust this product

1. MainConcept GmbH is a longstanding industry veteran in codec technology, trusted in broadcast, streaming and production workflows for decades.

2. This plugin is the first approved codec plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio developed in collaboration with Blackmagic Design.

3. Independent industry references (such as the International Association of Broadcasters (IABM)) list the plugin as enabling professional workflows inside Resolve.

What to check before buying

• Ensure you are running DaVinci Resolve Studio (not the free version) and that your version is supported (e.g., version 17 or above, or Resolve Studio 19 for full features).

• Confirm your operating system is within supported range: Windows 10 or newer, macOS 13 or newer (Intel + Apple Silicon), or specified Linux distros.

• For broadcast workflows (e.g., AS-11 UK DPP), ensure your timeline is correctly prepared (bars/tones, audio channels, hold frames) because the plugin provides the codec and metadata template, but you are responsible for project layout.

• If you have a high-resolution workflow (e.g., 12K), check you have the required GPU/hardware setup so you can leverage GPU acceleration where supported.

• Stay aware of versions: some users report compatibility issues after upgrading DaVinci Resolve (see forum posts).
