Components
Elecard DirectShow® filters delivered with Elecard Codec SDK G4 include MPEG-2, MPEG-4.2 and AVC/H.264 decoders and encoders, audio decoders and encoders, multiplexers and demultiplexers, network and other components in demo mode for R&D purposes. Each of them can further be licensed for commercial usage.
Base Classes
Base Classes – a C++ class library that simplifies common tasks, appearing during development of multimedia applications, such as: DirectShow graphs building, filters and pins control etc. Base classes are used in SDK
sample applications and are delivered in source form.
Sample Applications
The Elecard Codec SDK samples are simple applications that demonstrate the Elecard components and Base
Classes use. The samples are written in C++. The following table provides a brief overview of each sample.
| SDK samples |
Sample Name |
Description |
Decoders |
AVC Player |
Sample application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard AVC Video Decoder filter.
|
| MPEG2 Player |
Sample application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard MPEG-2 Video Decoder filter.
|
| MPEG4 Player |
Sample application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard MPEG-4 Video Decoder filter.
|
| Console Player |
Sample console application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard decoders without use of Elecard Base Classes.
|
Encoders |
AVC Encoder |
Sample application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard AVC Video Encoder filter.
|
| MPEG2 Encoder |
Sample application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard MPEG-2 Video Encoder filter.
|
| MPEG4 Encoder |
Sample application that demonstrates use and adjustment of the Elecard MPEG-4 Video Encoder filter.
|
| Console Encoder |

|
Network |
NWPlayer |
Sample application that plays media streams from the network and allows the received media data saving onto a disk. It supports the
media files indexation using Sink Filter. This sample illustrates the usage of the Elecard Module Configuration technology and the
usage and adjustment of the NWSource-Plus, RTSP NetSource and DVB-ASI Source filters.
|
| NWServer |
Sample application that demonstrates broadcasting media data to the network. It is capable of sending RTP, UDP and TCP
packets and sends data session announcement via SAP (SDP) packets.
|
| NWServerTranscoder
|
Sample application that demonstrates transcoding and broadcasting media data to the network. The broadcasting capabilities are the same as in the NWServer application.
