Core Modules & Release Timeline
Base module
May 2025
Provides low-level access to core components (muxers, encoders, etc.), forming the base for modules like Playlist and Mixer. Supports custom xSDK modules and JSON-based workflow configuration.
Playlist module
Jun 2025
The Playlist module provides an API for managing playlists, including scheduling and content control. It supports multiple synchronized pipelines on a single host, with cross-network sync coming via the upcoming MSync module.
WebSockets Module
Aug 2025
The WebSockets module enables inter-module communication across servers, allowing fully distributed systems.
Mixer module
Sept 2025
The Mixer module provides a ready-to-use API for combining multiple sources with varying video and audio formats. It enables seamless mixing of different media types into a unified output stream.
Replay Module
Sept 2025
Writer-based module, including specific bufferization functionality, simplifies using any piece of buffer for further work.
Chroma Key/ Video Effects Module
Sept 2025
Enables real-time background removal in video streams, replacing solid backdrops with images, video, or dynamic content—ideal for live broadcasts and virtual studios.
CG (HTML5) Module
Sept 2025
The CG HTML5 module provides an API to overlay dynamic, customizable HTML5 graphics as on-screen CG visuals.
Sync Module
Oct 2025
The Sync module uses external clocks (e.g., NTP) to synchronize pipelines, such as aligning multiple Playlist modules.
Writer module
Nov 2025
The Writer module provides a simplified API for media encoding—just choose a codec and output, and it handles the rest. It streamlines what the Base module can do manually.
xNetwork Module
Feb 2026
Offers advanced WebRTC and SRT components for stable, low-latency streaming over IP, ensuring reliable, high-quality delivery in distributed and remote workflows.
Subtitle Modules
Feb 2026
The Subtitle module API supports decoding and encoding of DVB subs, DVB teletext, SRT, and other bitmap or text-based subtitles.

Architecture Overview

xMedia SDK is a cross-platform C++ library for professional-grade video and audio workflows. To simplify development, the xMedia API Wrappers make the same powerful functionality available in C# and Python without requiring C++ expertise.

This architecture enables you to build efficient broadcasting and streaming applications in your preferred language while relying on the same proven core.
