QuickTime Codec for Windows 10: Empowering Artists Across Platforms

The world of video performance and production is all about innovation, creativity, and seamless collaboration. In this era of multi-platform software development, it's exciting to announce that the GPU-accelerated codec of choice on Mac has now been officially supported on Windows. This breakthrough brings together a powerful ecosystem of applications and tools, empowering artists to push boundaries across various platforms.

The Hap video codec family can now be natively used on Windows in a range of popular software solutions, including TouchDesigner, OpenFrameworks (via ofxHapPlayer), Jitter (via jit.gl.hap), DirectShow, and Unity (via RenderHeads AVProQuicktime). Support is also forthcoming for D3 Media Servers and the Isadora programming environment. This expanded support network allows artists to choose the best tools for their projects, leveraging the strengths of each software solution.

At its core, Hap aims to serve a broad audience, providing high-performance video playback capabilities regardless of the software or hardware used. Whether you're a show designer handling 2k and 4k arrays on expensive media servers or a weekend VJ playing back multiple HD streams off a laptop, Hap has got you covered.

Last year, we collaborated with Tom Butterworth to bring the power of open-source video codecs to the Mac real-time video community. Today, we're thrilled to extend this collaboration to Windows users, bridging the gap between platforms and fostering a more connected creative community.

The benefits of this expanded support are numerous. For instance, artists can now enjoy native playback of Hap-encoded videos in their preferred software applications, eliminating the need for tedious conversion or encoding processes. This streamlined workflow enables them to focus on what matters most – creating innovative and captivating video performances.

In conclusion, the QuickTime codec's arrival on Windows 10 marks a significant milestone in the evolution of video performance software. By providing a unified platform-agnostic experience, Hap empowers artists to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation, regardless of their chosen tools or operating system.
