Elecard DirectShow Codec SDK

DirectShow Codec SDK
Software development kit intended to enable programmers to develop digital video encoding and playback applications (encoders, players, streamers) using Elecard components within the Microsoft® DirectShow® technology. Intel® Quick Sync video technology is supported.

Key Features:

 

• ANY CONFIGURATION & COMPLEXITY

Create an application of any scale for highly specific tasks using Elecard components

 

• INTEL® QUICK SYNC VIDEO TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT

Get fast video processing and up to 10 times better performance compared to pure software encoding

 

• FAST DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Source code of sample components help to develop your application really fast

 

• SUPPORT

Having trouble developing your application? Our support is here to help you!

 

• Powerful toolkit

Elecard DirectShow Codec SDK package comprises: codecs, documentation, base classes and sample applications. Samples include decoding, encoding and network solutions that demonstrate how to use and configure different Elecard components that come along with SDK, such as Elecard MPEG-2, AVC, HEVC codecs; network components: NWRenderer, NWSource-Plus, and other filters.
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.

    

Sample Applications
