PathPartner's component IP portfolio comprises of several off-the-shelf, ready to integrate multimedia components tageted for emerging market verticals such as - wireless handset, connected media-centric consumer devices and surveillance. These solutions will reduce the prototype or product development cycle and time to market for customers.

	Media Streaming Protocol Stacks The RTP/RTSP/RTCP based streaming protocol stacks have been designed for real-time media streaming server and playback client applications on resource constrained media centric devices. Salient features of the Stacks  : Supports 3GPP streaming Supports many different video (viz: H.264, MPEG-4, MJPEG etc.) and audio (viz: AMR, AAC G.7xx etc.) media types Supports real-time control (e.g., play, pause, seek, stop etc) of media stream using RTSP protocol Supports sender / receiver reports and retransmission of lost packets Supports multicast Conformance to RFC 3550 (RTP/RTCP), 4588 (RTP Retransmission), 4585 (RTCP FB), 2327 (SDP) and 2326 (RTSP) Server stack is interoperable with many major RTSP clients such as: QuickTime Player, Real player, VLC player etc Client stack is interoperable with many major RTSP servers such as: Darwin, Helix etc. The APIs are easy to integrate and are OS independent. Target applications for server stack - Storage media streaming servers and Live media streaming servers (such as: Set-top boxes, Place shifting devices, Home media gateways, Network security cameras etc.) Target applications for client stack - Mobile Phones, PDAs, Music/Video Players, Portable Media Players, Set-top boxes, Network surveillance applications, Digital home applications
	Media File Parsers and Writers  : PathPartner offers file parsers for 3GPP, 3GPP2, MP4, AVI, ASF & MKV file formats and file writers for 3GPP format. The parsers and writers are optimized for embedded devices (such as: Mobile Phones, PDAs, Portable Media Players, Camcorders, Set-top boxes, Network surveillance applications, Digital home applications etc.) with limited availability of memory and computing horse-power. Salient features of the 3GPP/MP4 file parser and writer  : Supports 3GP, 3G2, MP4 file formats Supports many different audio (e.g., AMR-NB/WB, AAC etc) and video (e.g., MPEG-4, H.264 etc) media types Supports parsing of hint tracks in case of streamed media. Conformance to ISO-IEC 14496-12, ISO-IEC 14496-1 , ISO-IEC 14496-14 , ISO-IEC 14496-15 and other related specifications. File read/write operations are optimized using data caches, suitable for low speed file system devices (e.g., NAND flash based devices). Intelligent usage of fixed size heap memory, independent of file size and duration. The APIs are easy to integrate and are OS independent. Available as DirectShow Filters and GStreamer Plugins.
	DirectShow Filter Development Kit  : This is a framework that enables rapid development of DirectShow Filters and DMOs for multimedia components (such as: Codecs, File Parsers & Writers) using either native APIs or standardized APIs (e.g., OpenMax). Enables quick integration of native codec, file parser and file writer libraries to filters and DMOs, by using well defined & easy to use plug-in interfaces and macros. Each filter or DMO can support multiple media/codec types, which reduces the code size and facilitates easy code maintainability and scalability. Integration with Windows Media Player and PIMG applications on SmartPhone and PocketPC platforms ( Windows Mobile 5.0 onwards) Passed CETK and Hopper testing. Sample applications that illustrates usage of Direct Show APIs for playback and recording available on all OS ( WinCE 5.0, Win32, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6.x) Custom handling of Audio-Video Syncronization. Developer does not need to have in-depth DirectShow knowledge or prior experience while using this framework. Sample code to illustrate the integration of dummy codec, file parser and file writer native libraries available.
