Why UHDForge Pro

One focused tool for HEVC stream preparation.

Controlled x265 pipeline

A standalone, repeatable encoding path tuned for UHD authoring output — no surprises between jobs.

  • Repeatable encode plans
  • Operator-readable settings
  • Live runtime telemetry

HDR & SDR done right

Full HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support, with SDR workflows kept separate and transparent metadata reporting throughout.

  • HDR10 PQ · BT.2020
  • HDR10+ & Dolby Vision
  • BT.709 / BT.2020 SDR

Validation evidence

Every encode produces operator-readable and machine-readable reports backed by parsed bitstream evidence.

  • Parsed HEVC checks
  • Pass / fail / warn results
  • JSON + text reports

Workflow

From master file to authoring-ready HEVC stream.

01

Inspect Source

Source files are inspected automatically and characteristics surfaced before encoding.

02

Plan Encode

Choose HDR10 or SDR, resolution, frame rate, rate control and quality-speed profile.

03

Run x265

A controlled standalone x265 pipeline produces authoring-ready HEVC output.

04

Validate

Post-encode checks run against the generated .hevc stream with parsed bitstream evidence.

05

Report

Operator-readable text and machine-readable JSON reports for every job.

Inside the app

Every control mapped to real encoder behaviour.

UHDForge Pro keeps planning, execution and reporting tightly aligned. What you select is what gets executed — and what gets reported back.

HDR10 & SDR workflows

PQ / BT.2020 mastering metadata, BT.709 SDR, and HDR10+ dynamic metadata pass-through.

Rate control that matches encoder behaviour

Target Bitrate, Two-Pass, Fast Two-Pass and advanced Constant Quality with stricter bitrate adherence.

Optimisation & tune profiles

Auto, Visual Quality, Film Grain, PSNR and SSIM tuning aligned with x265 behaviour.

Live runtime telemetry

CPU, memory and optional NVIDIA device metrics during every encode.

Bitstream validation

Parsed HEVC checks, HDR signalling review and pass / fail / warn outcomes for every job.

Reports for archive & audit

Operator-readable text plus structured JSON for downstream tooling and audit trails.

Validation & Reporting

Evidence on every encode.

UHDForge Pro reviews every encode against UHD Blu-ray-oriented checks and reports pass, fail and warning states. Each job ships with operator-readable and machine-readable reports — ready for archival and audit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

UHDForge Pro accepts a wide range of professional source files — common mezzanine and master formats used in post-production and mastering. Source files are inspected automatically so their characteristics are surfaced before encoding.
