The SDK allows you to build your multimedia application from individual blocks like a brick house. For example, to record video from a camera, you add the "Camera" block, the "H264 encoder" block, and the "MP4 sink" block to record video to an MP4 file.
SIMPLE PLAYER
The simple player pipeline uses the UniversalSourceBlock to read and decode the source file, the VideoRendererBlock to display video, and the AudioRendererBlock to play audio.
ADVANCED PLAYER
The advanced player pipeline includes the UniversalSourceBlock for decoding files or streams, video and audio renderers, and effects processing blocks.
CAMERA PREVIEW
The camera/microphone simple preview pipeline contains device source blocks and video/audio renderer blocks.
Default devices will be used.
RTSP PREVIEW
The RTSP preview pipeline, which includes the RTSP source block (with decoders inside), video and audio renderers.
CAPTURE WITH PREVIEW
The capture pipeline has two tee blocks that are used to split video and audio streams, allowing video/audio preview along with capture.
