Elecard Codec .NET SDK package comprises: codecs, documentation 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, MPEG-4, AVC codecs; network components: NWRenderer, NWSource-Plus, and other filters.
Sample Applications
- Elecard Codec .NET SDK sample applications are divided into categories according to the components they use (e.g. decoders, encoders, network components). Each Sample is written in Managed C++, C# and VB.NET languages. The following provides a brief overview of each sample.
Simple Player Encoder. Plays media files and represents simple and basic functionality of MPEG player.
Simple Encoder. Demonstrates work with Elecard MPEG-2 Video Encoder, Elecard AVC Video Encoder and Elecard MPEG-4 Video Encoder filters and their basic adjustment.
Simple Muxer. Demonstrates work with Elecard AVC Video Encoder, Elecard AAC Audio Encoder and Elecard MPEG Multiplexer filters and their main adjustment.
NWPlayer. Receives streams from network using Elecard NWSource-Plus filter or Elecard RTSP NetSource filter.
