LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK products are specifically designed for the development of audio/video applications across a wide variety of industries including defense, broadcast and security. The SDK offers a full range of technologies to developers and turns normally complex DirectShow projects into simple tasks. Easily integrate core multimedia functionality such as capture, conversion, streaming and playback into applications with optional processing filters. These filters can be applied at any point of the workflow.
LEADTOOLS Multimedia and available add-ons offer H.264, H.263, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, AAC, VP8 and AC3 codecs, and supports any available DirectShow audio/video codec. The toolkit also contains and utilizes multiplexers and/or demultiplexers for formats including MP4, AVI, MP3, WMV, MXF, MKV, WebM, 3GP, OGG, FLV (YouTube and HD Flash), IIS Smooth Streaming, ISO, MPEG-2 and MPEG-2 transport stream with KLV. The SDK provides MPEG-2 Transport, IIS, DMO, RTSP and network filters to stream data encoded with any codec. Pause, rewind and fast-forward live capture and UDP or TCP/IP streams with LEADTOOLS DVR technology. Create and burn DVDs with menus, titles and chapters. Push video to Windows Media Server and create dynamic publishing points. Split large files into multiple, smaller pieces for distributed conversion and merge the results with no loss.

Multimedia for Medical and DICOM Development
The LEADTOOLS Medical Multimedia SDK Module includes the LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK and a collection of state-of-the-art DirectShow filters for compressing and decompressing video and audio data inside DICOM files. It can be added on to the LEADTOOLS Medical and PACS Imaging SDK products and is included in the Medical Imaging Suite. This feature-rich product is designed to eliminate the complexity from converting cine images and video streams to DICOM objects including X-ray Angiography (XA), Ultrasound (US), Visible Light (VL), Secondary Capture (SC) and much more. The LEADTOOLS Medical Multimedia SDK Module utilizes the most advanced compression algorithms used in the industry and approved by the DICOM standard including MPEG-2, HD MPEG-2, Motion JPEG, and Motion JPEG 2000.
LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK can be Extended to Add More Technology
Add-on modules and plug-ins may be added to LEADTOOLS Multimedia to add even more imaging technology.
