The LEADTOOLS Video Streaming SDK Module is perfect for developers who need to stream video or audio across the Internet or via intranet. This Multimedia SDK module offers an unsurpassed multimedia experience at a toolkit level while at the same time reducing bandwidth requirements by taking advantage of LEAD's video and audio codecs. With the LEADTOOLS Video Streaming SDK Module you can stream multimedia files using a standard IIS web server or with Microsoft Media
Server using LEAD's H.264 DMO encoder.
Developers can also use the Video Streaming SDK Module to create a variety of client/server applications using several different configurations. For example, applications can be created where
you have a single server sending audio/video to multiple clients, i.e. multicast or web cast for Web broadcasting. Additionally, security/surveillance applications can be created where you have multiple capture points sending video to a single source.
For information on streaming MPEG-2 transport video through UDP ports, see the

DirectShow Filters
LEADTOOLS Video Streaming SDK Module includes the following DirectShow filters:
The Frame Rate Control filter provides changes the frame rate of the passing video stream.
Play, convert or capture only a specific rectangular area within the video.
Deinterlaces video with a pattern, deinterlaces only a region of interest (rectangle), and specifies segments in the video to deinterlace and how to deinterlace the segment (no deinterlace, interlace, deinterlace with pattern). Includes an ?쏛uto Deinterlace??option to check the video for interlacing and apply deinterlacing only if necessary.
Resizes the video by adjusting the width and height of the frames using normal resize, resample bilinear, bicubic or Bresenham interpolation.
Flips, reverses, rotates video 90, 180, and 270 degrees. Very useful when certain devices capture video in a rotated state.
