SDK STRUCTURE
The SDK allows developers to select specific video and audio sources, apply a range of effects for processing, and then route the media for rendering. It is versatile and accommodates different UI frameworks by providing a unique VideoView control for each one — whether WPF, WinForms, MAUI, Avalonia, or others — ensuring seamless integration and display of media within various application interfaces.
MEDIA PLAYBACK PIPELINE
The SDK architecture separates each media source into discrete audio and video streams. These streams are then routed to their respective decoders. After decoding, the uncompressed data is processed and can be accessed directly by a sample grabber if required. This feature is handy for real-time applications that process or analyze media samples.
VIDEO PROCESSING
Add text, images, or GIFs to your videos to create personalized overlays. Adjust visual elements such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue to improve image quality. Utilize editing tools to resize, crop, or rotate footage as necessary. Apply the chroma key for green screen effects and explore a wide range of additional video effects to enhance your storytelling.
AUDIO PROCESSING
Integrate an equalizer into your application to allow for precise audio tuning. Normalize audio levels, amplify the volume, or enhance the bass frequencies. A suite of additional audio effects is available for further refinement. Implement automatic or manual gain control to achieve optimal audio quality.
CUSTOM UI CONTROLS
The SDK boasts a customizable interface with skin support, accommodating PNG/SVG icons, and personalized style options.
