Multimedia Streaming SDK Libraries
LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDKs offer a full range of multimedia streaming libraries to developers. The SDKs support a wide variety of streaming technologies, including high-level a Media Streaming Server framework, Client/Server Video Conferencing, MPEG-2 Transport with KLV-metadata, and RTSP. LEADTOOLS turns normally complex tasks using low-level DirectShow or Media Foundation libraries into simple tasks that require much less coding.
Media Streaming Server
The LEADTOOLS Streaming SDK Module includes a Media Streaming Server framework that provides developers with components to build professional audio/video multimedia streaming applications for playback on any device. The Media Streaming Server libraries take any file, capture device, ONVIF-conformant camera, UDP, and RTSP stream and converts it on the fly to a variety of formats and industry-standard protocols, including RTSP, Flash, Apple HTTP Live Streaming, HTML5, Microsoft Smooth Streaming, MPEG-DASH, and Adobe HDS.
All it takes is three lines of code to set up and start a LEADTOOLS Media Server. Developers can place this code into a service application, update the config XML, register the required DLLs, and call it a day, which demonstrates how powerful and programmer-friendly the LEADTOOLS Media Server framework is.
var server = new Leadtools.MediaStreaming.Server();
server.ImportConfigFile("%ltmsConfigFolder%\\config.xml");
server.Start();
Video Conferencing
The LEADTOOLS Streaming SDK Module includes video conferencing libraries to develop applications that require real-time video capture, playback, transmission, and efficient compression. LEAD's collection of world-class audio and video codecs for DirectShow and Media Foundation improve quality and speed, while cutting back on bandwidth consumption, efficiently maximizing available resources to broadcast and receive live multimedia streams over industry-standard communication protocols.
MPEG-2 Transport
The LEADTOOLS Multimedia Suite SDK includes MPEG-2 Transport and MPEG-2 Program streaming, playback, capture, and conversion components and APIs. Developers can utilize robust UDP and TCP streaming with DVR and KLV metadata to create a wide spectrum of applications, including security systems, HDTV playback, and UAV ground stations.
RTSP
The LEADTOOLS Streaming SDK Module includes DirectShow filters and Media Foundation Transforms that support RTSP to securely send and receive audio and video over UDP and HTTP connections. Developers can use LEADTOOLS to create or connect to any RTSP source to make powerful surveillance, shop floor machine vision, video conferencing, live streaming, and video on-demand applications.
DICOM Streaming
With the LEADTOOLS Medical SDK, the Media Server component can automatically extract MPEG-2 Transport and MP4 streams embedded in DICOM files to provide as streams using industry standard streaming protocols.
