Build media workflows.
Not media plumbing.
Create applications that capture, process, route, preview, record and deliver live media on one composable XSDK architecture.
xMedia is the high-level workflow layer built on XFlow composition, XCore AV media processing and XNetwork connectivity.
One media workflow, clear ownership at every layer

Most media applications need the same core capabilities: device I/O, codecs, routing, buffering, network transport, remote control and lifecycle management. Those capabilities already exist. The hard part is turning them into a predictable product workflow without rebuilding the infrastructure for every application.
xMedia is the orchestration layer built to do that.
xMedia sits above the stack, not inside it
Applications can use XFlow, XCore AV and XNetwork directly for low-level control. xMedia adds a workflow surface for operations that would otherwise require repetitive orchestration, such as selecting a source, starting processing, creating a preview, starting a recording, maintaining a time-shift window and publishing the resource for remote consumers to attach to. It reuses the same underlying objects and lifecycle rather than introducing a second media engine.
Build the media product you need
For applications that combine real-time device I/O, processing and multiple delivery paths inside one controlled graph. Typical fit: broadcast tools, production appliances, channel systems, OEM video products.
Build recorder and PVR-style applications without treating storage as an unrelated subsystem.
Useful when sources and processing nodes live on different hosts, networks or sites.
Expose media-system state and application operations through remote APIs instead of building a second control model for the UI. The native application lifecycle stays authoritative.
We're validating the workflow pieces before introducing the next xMedia contract
We're stabilizing the lower layers before freezing the new high-level xMedia contract. That avoids duplicated abstractions and lets the future workflow API build on capabilities we've already proven independently. A stable public xMedia Next contract and release date haven't been announced yet.
Meet XSDK Flow Relay
Flow Relay is the reference application used to assemble and validate the Flow-based media stack. Run real media pipelines, inspect the architecture and see how XFlow, XCore AV and XNetwork fit together before xMedia adds the higher-level workflow abstraction.
