MainConcept, a privately owned company headquartered in Germany, operates as a subsidiary of Endeavor Streaming. Founded in 1993, the company has approximately 60 employees and reported $13.0M in revenue as of 2025.

On June 19, 2026, MainConcept presented an experimental MV-HEVC pipeline, outlining a file-based approach to encoder evaluation for Apple Immersive Media. This approach addresses the challenges of large file sizes and integrates VMAF-based quality measurements for Apple Immersive Video. Previously, on May 3, MainConcept launched its MPEG-H Encoder SDK, developed in collaboration with Fraunhofer IIS, to enable object-based MPEG-H Audio contribution and emission encoding for TV broadcast and OTT streaming services. Earlier, on April 30, MainConcept expanded its Constant Target Quality (CTQ) encoding to include AVC/H.264, a single-pass rate control mode that allows users to specify a target VMAF quality level, initially introduced for HEVC/H.265. This followed the April 15 launch of the SL-HDR Conversion SDK, developed with Philips, designed to facilitate Advanced HDR by Technicolor workflows for broadcasters and streamers.
