GStreamer
Tame your complex Production, OTT and Broadcast workflows with a complete encoding and transcoding pipeline
Enable delivery of live and on-demand content for OTT, Broadcast and professional Production
For organizations serving the professional production, broadcast, and OTT markets, delivering high-quality content to the widest possible audience requires a powerful and flexible media processing foundation. The challenge is compounded by the wide range of devices, formats, and codecs that must be supported. To address this complexity within the GStreamer framework, MainConcept offers Production Format Creation, OTT Content Creation, and Broadcast Delivery technologies for GStreamer.
OTT Content Creation brings the delivery of live and on-demand video content to virtually any device. It supports the creation of flexible processing pipelines for generating CMAF-DASH, MPEG-DASH, and HLS content, as well as multiple audio tracks and subtitles.
Broadcast Delivery enables the deployment of complete DVB and ATSC encoding and transcoding workflows in broadcast environments for playout and production, providing a scalable foundation for broadcast-grade media processing.
Production Format Creation is designed for professional recording and production workflows based on Sony and Panasonic formats. It generates compliant streams for most Sony XDCAM and XAVC formats, as well as the Panasonic P2 camcorder family.
Together, these MainConcept technologies provide complete encoding and transcoding capabilities, including our industry-leading HEVC/H.265 and AVC/H.264 video encoders, engineered for seamless integration with GStreamer-based workflows. They also support hardware-accelerated processing through Intel Quick Sync Video (IQSV) and NVIDIA NVENC, as well as Hybrid HEVC GPU-accelerated encoding on NVIDIA RTX platforms.
