OTT Content for GStreamer
Enable delivery of live and on-demand video content
Great content needs a great delivery vehicle to reach the broadest audience possible, and different device-types require different video formats and codecs. To manage this complexity, you need the MainConcept® OTT Content Creation for GStreamer SDK. It enables delivery of live and on-demand video content to any device and includes plugins to enable the creation of different GStreamer pipelines for generating CMAF-DASH, MPEG-DASH and HLS content, including multi-audio track and subtitles support.
With MainConcept OTT Content Creation SDK for GStreamer, you get a complete encoding and transcoding pipeline, including our industry-leading HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 video encoders, developed for seamless integration within the GStreamer API. The SDK also supports dedicated hardware processing on Intel Quick Sync Video (IQSV) and NVENC HEVC, as well as Hybrid HEVC GPU Accelerated Encoding on NVIDIA RTX cards.
