Larix mobile apps and SDK
Apps and SDKs for capturing and streaming from mobile devices
Softvelum provides a set of tools for creating user-generated mobile media.
Encode and stream content with Larix library
We provide streaming library with the apps framework to use it properly.
The content is encoded in H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) video with AAC audio.
Streaming is performed via RTSP/RTSPS, RTMP/RTMPS and SRT protocols.
Larix supports transmission of HEVC over RTMP as non-standard experimental feature.
A user can set multiple simultaneous connections to several destinations like software media servers, Facebook, YouTube Live, Twitch, Limelight CDN or other online services.
With 5G technology being the future of mobile networks, this allows easily deliver multi-point publishing.
