About MFormats SDK

A smart video API for C#, VB.NET, Delphi and C++ developers.

MFormats SDK is a frame-based video software development framework that simplifies and improves the development experience when working with live sources, playing out to professional devices, encoding video data or playing media files. MFormats removes the unnecessary complexities and limitations of standard approaches for development, bringing ease of use and pleasure to the development process.

The main idea of MFormats SDK is to grab a frame from a source (files, network streams, cameras, capture devices, etc.), process the frame with plugins or other frames (mix, overlay), and output the frame (encode video to a local file, to a network stream, put it to a playout device, or simply preview it).

Wherever you can imagine video in use you can think about utilizing MFormats-based software.
