A smart video API for .NET Framework, .NET Core, Delphi and C++ developers.
MFormats SDK provides Windows developers with a powerful multimedia API designed to handle diverse video containers and compression standards. It delivers seamless low-latency integration with leading hardware, simplifies video and audio workflow management, and includes robust support for live streaming, mixing, and graphics overlays to build professional video applications.

Video Capture and Input

Captures video and audio from cameras, capture cards, IP streams, and other input sources, enabling applications to acquire live media for processing, monitoring, and integration into professional production workflows.

Playback and Rendering

Provides synchronized playback of video and audio files with frame-accurate rendering, enabling smooth preview, inspection, and output of media content within custom applications and production environments.

Real-Time Video Processing

Processes media streams in real time, supporting transformations such as scaling, color correction, overlays, and effects during capture or playback for dynamic video manipulation workflows.

Encoding and Transcoding

Supports encoding media into multiple formats and transcoding between codecs, enabling efficient preparation of video and audio content for distribution, storage, or streaming across different delivery scenarios.

Live Streaming and Output

Enables applications to stream video over network protocols, supporting real-time delivery of media content for broadcasting, live streaming, and remote viewing applications.

Video Mixing and Compositing

Combines multiple video sources into a single output, supporting overlays, picture-in-picture layouts, switching, and layered compositions for professional production and live media workflows.

Timeline Editing and Trimming

Provides frame-accurate editing capabilities including trimming, cutting, and segment control, allowing applications to manipulate and organize media content programmatically within production pipelines.

Graphics and Overlay Rendering

Supports adding text, images, and graphical elements to video streams, enabling titles, branding, watermarks, and other visual enhancements within real-time and post-processing workflows.

Recording and File Output

Allows recording of live or processed media streams into files, supporting storage, archiving, and later playback of captured or generated content within media applications.

Media Pipeline Control

Enables flexible control of media flow between capture, processing, encoding, and output stages, supporting end-to-end management of complex video workflows within custom software solutions.
