Powerful toolkit |
Elecard DirectShow Codec SDK provides essential tools for quick and professional development of multimedia products. The development kit comprises a variety of codecs along with documentation, BaseClasses, and program samples. BaseClasses help to simplify development process. Samples include decoding, encoding, and network applications that demonstrate how to use and configure Elecard components; they can be utilized as a baseline for building your own applications. Intel® Quick Sync technology support in Elecard SDK enables creation of cost effective video encoding and decoding applications supporting HEVC 4K 60 fps with fast preprocessing on 1U unit. Professional technical support will lend a helping hand if any pitfalls occur during development. |
Base classes
Base Classes - a C++ class library that simplifies common tasks, appearing during development of multimedia applications, such as: DirectShow graphs building, filters and pins control etc. Base classes are used in SDK sample applications and are delivered in source form.
