ACT-L3™ Codec

Encoding for DVD Quality Full Frame Rate D1 over Broadband Streambox^® ACT-L3™ is our highest compression codec for high quality video/audio streams.

ACT-L3™ is specifically designed for compressing video (up to D1 at 30fps) into high quality streams that can be served over broadband networks. It provides the smallest file size for highest quality video and very efficient decoding on limited power processors.

ACT-L3™ is optimized for transporting broadcast quality video over low cost communications networks 64Kbps and up.
