GStreamer Consulting

GStreamer is the premier Open Source multimedia framework, powering everything from GNU/Linux servers and desktop systems to demanding embedded devices such as always-on IP surveillance cameras and remote driving. Collabora is the world's leading provider of consulting, development, and training for GStreamer.

Collabora introduced a machine learning analytics foundation in GStreamer 1.24, making it the go-to choice for building robust analytics pipelines.

The latest release, 1.26, adds support for H.266 Versatile Video Coding (VVC) and Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC), H.264/H.265 extractor/inserter for closed captions, JPEG XS image codec handling, and more. Analytics support has also grown, adding representations for segmentation masks, as well as a mechanism to carry tensors as side-data to media buffers.

Background on Collabora and GStreamer

Collabora's initial contribution to the GStreamer community was taking GStreamer into the realm of VoIP and videoconferencing. In collaboration with our customers, we have added specific features to the system, such as making sure that GStreamer got top of the line RTP support and support for advanced video-editing functionality through the GStreamer editing services. From the RTSP client and server to the DASH, HLS and MSS clients, to the support for many media formats, Collabora also contributed many of the most advanced and popular features of GStreamer.
