GStreamer SDKs
Enable delivery of live and on-demand content for OTT and Broadcast
For organizations that serve both the broadcast and OTT market, it is critical to have an exceptionaldelivery vehicle to reach the largest audience possible. Making it more complex, disparate device types require different video formats and codecs. To manage this complexity in the GStreamer framework, you need the MainConcept® OTT Content Creation for GStreamer SDK or the Broadcast Delivery for GStreamer SDK. The OTT Content Creation for GStreamer SDK 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. The Broadcast Delivery SDK for GStreamer allows the deployment of complete DVB and ATSC encoding as well as transcoding pipelines in broadcast environments for playout and production based on GStreamer plugin architecture.
With both MainConcept products, 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 SDKs also support dedicated hardware processing on Intel Quick Sync Video (IQSV) and NVIDIA NVENC, as well as Hybrid HEVC GPU Accelerated Encoding on NVIDIA RTX cards.
