GStreamer is a versatile, pipeline-based multimedia framework that seamlessly connects various media processing tools, enabling efficient, complex multimedia workflows across platforms.
GStreamer is a powerful, open-source multimedia framework packed with features. It is mainly used to develop media applications for streaming, playback, non-linear editing, and more. Designed to simplify building applications that handle audio, video, and synchronized metadata, GStreamer leverages a flexible plugin system, providing various codecs and media processing tools.
Compatible with all major operating systems— including Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, and iOS —GStreamer also supports diverse hardware architectures such as x86, ARM, MIPS, and SPARC. It offers an extensive library of multimedia plugins (encoders, decoders, filters, etc.) and allows easy integration of third-party plugins. With comprehensive, developer-friendly documentation and a robust community contributing to its continuous development, GStreamer is a top choice for creating complex, efficient multimedia workflows.

The client needed a robust video management system (VMS) application to support real-time security monitoring and playback of surveillance footage from various locations—on-site, centralized, and mobile. The system architecture consisted of a C#-based graphical user interface (GUI) and a C/C++ multimedia backend, with a clear separation between the …
The client needed a scalable, modular system capable of handling high volumes of video streams for recording and re-streaming purposes. The solution was required to support live media ingestion, continuous recording, and dynamic re-streaming using standard protocols such as RTSP, HLS, and WebRTC. Additionally, the system had to be API-driven, …
A client in the sports technology sector, operating across football, rugby, and hockey, required a real-time sports video analysis solution capable of running multiple AI models in parallel for tasks such as object detection, player tracking, and camera calibration. The system needed to deliver high-performance processing and improved accuracy …
A hardware manufacturer required an AMD-optimized application that utilized dedicated GPUs for game rendering and the integrated GPU for executing AI tasks. The implemented solution employed Edge AI and GStreamer to perform real-time facial gesture extraction, background removal, and 3D avatar rendering from live webcam feeds. This architecture …
In high-risk environments such as elderly care facilities, hospitals, public transit stations, or workplace safety zones, detecting human falls instantly is essential for preventing serious injuries and enabling rapid emergency response. However, continuous manual video surveillance monitoring is resource-intensive and prone to oversight. A growing …
Public spaces such as transportation hubs, university campuses, shopping centres, and event venues face growing security risks from both concealed and openly carried knives. These threats put heavy pressure on security teams to detect weapons quickly and respond before incidents escalate. Traditional manual monitoring of multiple CCTV or IP camera …
In modern live broadcasting and video surveillance, operators struggle to keep moving subjects framed when using traditional PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras in dynamic environments such as lecture halls, theaters, or public spaces. An AI-driven subject tracking solution can autonomously detect and follow speakers, performers, or persons of interest, …
