pylon GStreamer Plug-In for Basler Cameras
The pylon GStreamer Plug-In allows any Basler camera—including those with GigE, USB 3.0, CoaXPress or MIPI interfaces—to be used within the GStreamer framework.
What is GStreamer?
GStreamer is an open-source multimedia framework mainly used to create media applications for tasks like streaming, video editing, playback, and more. The GStreamer framework was created to allow easy development of applications that process video and/or audio data, using plug-ins that provide various codecs, filters, and other functions.
Advantages of the GStreamer plug-in
The pylonsrc source plug-in is based on the powerful pylon software suite. It benefits from dynamic and generic access to camera parameters via GenICam, from reliable and real-time drivers, and enables fast and efficient development with an easy-to-use API.
