So, what sets Comatozze's SCE apart from the rest? The answer lies in the attention to detail and commitment to extra quality. Every ingredient is carefully selected, every step is meticulously planned, and every dish is crafted with love. From the freshest produce to the finest spices, every component is chosen to ensure an unparalleled taste experience.

The flickering fluorescent light of the kitchen hummed a low, electric B-flat, matching the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of Antonio’s knife against the worn wooden board. On the flaking label of his digital camera, a piece of masking tape bore the Sharpie-scrawled title: . | | Muffled speech | Place mic 6–12
The video player opened, a black box against the bright blue of his modern 4K monitor. For a second, nothing happened. Then, the screen flickered, and the text "Extra Quality" flashed in pixelated green letters, not once, but twice—a glitchy echo from the past.
Detail when you need it. Unlike other mainstream GPU codecs, NotchLC uses variable block size and variable control point bit levels to provide extra detail while allowing greater compression in areas of flatter colours.
NotchLC breaks colour data down into luma and chroma (YUV). 12bits of depth are assigned to luma data, as in many scenarios this is where bit depth is most perceivable. 8bits are assigned to each of the U & V channels.
Rather than specify target bitrates and end up with undetermined quality outcomes, NotchLC takes the reverse approach: during encoding you set a quality level, and the encoder uses the most compression it can while preserving it.
Utilising the modern SSIM measurement method, NotchLC delivers the high-quality results that are needed to be qualified as an intermediary codec. Don’t take our word for it though — read what dandelion + burdock writes in their big, independent 10bit codec test.

Talk to any content creator about codecs and you’ll find encoding times, right at the top of the list of concerns. NotchLC utilises the full power of the GPU to massively accelerate the encoding process.
NotchLC utilises the full power of the GPU to massively accelerate the encoding process. On a consumer PC, encoding can be up to 5.7x faster than realtime at 1080p24. As an example, we encoded the Open Source movie “Big Buck Bunny” (duration 09:57) in just 1 min and 44 secs.
In a CPU codec, the CPU decodes the image and sends the huge raw frames up to the GPU. The secret sauce of a GPU codec is that compressed frames are uploaded and the GPU does the decode. The compressed frames are much smaller in size allowing vastly more video to be passed through the PCI-e bus.
Typically you will see compression ratios of around 5:1 on motion graphics content when compared to raw video. You’ll be able to dial in your final file size by using the encoder’s Quality Level (see the manual).
