The SDK allows you to build your multimedia application from individual blocks like a brick house. For example, to record video from a camera you add the "Camera" block, the "H264 encoder" block and the "MP4 sink" block to record video to an MP4 file.
SDK STRUCTURE
SDK supports more than 10 different video and audio inputs, and more than 20 output formats.
VIDEO CAPTURE PIPELINE
Video and audio streams can be processed using various effects during preview or capture. After processing, streams will be split and go to encoders and audio/video renderers.
OUTPUT FORMATS
SDK supports all popular video, audio, and image formats and codecs, including MP4, WebM, WMV, MP3, AAC, JPEG, GIF, and PNG.
VIDEO PROCESSING
Add text, image, or GIF logo. Change brightness, contrast, saturation, or hue. Perform resize, crop, or rotate. Use chroma-key or one of many other video effects.
AUDIO PROCESSING
Add an equalizer to your app to allow users to control your audio. Normalize audio or boost volume level or basses. Many other effects are available.
