Description
Many customers have asked us for a solution to support NXCAM camcorders and other cameras with XAVC S recording capabilities.Free demo versions are available for download below. In demo mode, a nablet logo will be added to decoded images but otherwise the plugin is fully functional. Click here to purchase a single license key and unlock the plugin to make the logo disappear, or use the links above to buy a multi-license pack. You do not need to re-link clips that were previously linked in demo mode. However, transcodings, consolidations and video mixdowns have to be re-done since they have been encoded with the logo in the source image.

Hardware Requirements
The nablet XAVC S AMA plugin is able to utilize hardware accelerated AVC decoders for decoding 4:2:0 footage. Your computer should be equipped with an external NVIDIA or AMD GPU or an Intel CPU with Quick Sync Video feature, which support decoding of AVC footage. For the capabilities of your external GPU and your CPU please check the manufacturers specification.
Decoding of 4:2:2 footage is currently not supported by any GPU accelerator and will be processed by the software decoder.
Minimum required GPU driver versions on Windows systems (Windows 10 required):
- NVIDIA: 456.71
- AMD: 20.7.1
- Intel Iris: 26.20.100.8141
On Mac systems hardware accelerated AVC decoding is supported starting from macOS 10.13 through the Apple Video Toolbox API and the performance depends on the systems OS version and hardware configuration.
