Playback Library

Introduction

Play live streams and video files with ultra-low latency — ideal for surveillance, drone feeds, game streaming, and real-time monitoring. VASTreaming provides:

• On-screen playback: Drop-in UI components with hardware-accelerated rendering
• Off-screen processing: Access raw or decoded frames for computer vision, AI, or custom pipelines

Hardware-Accelerated Performance

Native decoding and rendering on every platform:

• Windows: Media Foundation decoding, Direct3D rendering, WASAPI audio. Compatible renderer for VMs and remote desktop. UI controls for WinForms, WPF, WinUI.
• macOS / iOS: AVFoundation for decoding and rendering. Native and MAUI UI controls.

Ultra-Low Latency

When milliseconds matter — surveillance, drone piloting, live auctions, interactive streaming — VASTreaming delivers:

• <100ms end-to-end latency on LAN with our custom extensions to SRT protocol
• 200-300ms end-to-end latency on LAN with RTMP, RTSP, SRT, or WebRTC
• Optimized buffering strategies for minimal delay without sacrificing smoothness

Record While Watching

Record any live stream to MP4 while viewing — perfect for archiving, compliance, or instant replay. Works with both on-screen and off-screen playback modes.
