The ‘M820L’ is a media accelerator card that can be attached to a server system to accelerate codec processes without changing existing users’ server configuration.

Today Socionext released the ‘M820L-8K’ which is the combination of a firmware update and an 8K encoding license for the M820L. It provides high quality and high performance 8K encoding acceleration with an easy-to-use user interface for post-production of 8K video. The M820L-8K dramatically improves 8K production efficiency.

Along with the M820L-8K, Socionext is providing an 8K real-time encoder ‘e8’ that enables 8K60p live streaming, the world’s leading compact, lightweight, low-power ‘s8’ 8K media player that plays 8K60p live streaming and performs local media playback of 8K60p/HEVC contents, and ‘s8-c21’ HDMI2.0 to HDMI2.1 converter that enables 8K video transmission with a single cable.

Socionext is structuring an 8K ecosystem with the company's 8K products for 8K live streaming and 8K contents distribution systems.
