Igalia

GStreamer is the framework of choice for Linux-based multimedia and it has been powering multimedia embedded solutions for many years now. Our multimedia team includes many experienced GStreamer developers who are very familiar with the framework internals and who have been contributing code in areas like the core, pulseaudio, playbin2 and many of its plugins.

We also have experience bringing hardware acceleration to GStreamer, writing plugins and infrastructure needed to use hardware accelerated codecs and asymmetric processing of media using multiple cores. We are also the primary developers and maintainers of the GStreamer-based multimedia backends of WebKit that are used by many of its ports, including WebkitGTK, QtWebkit and WebkitEFL.

Our experience also extends to areas other than media playback: Integration of media content from various sources and providers is also becoming extremely important when designing and implementing modern multimedia solutions. At Igalia we are pioneers in this field, where we have been working for years on frameworks designed to provide application developers with tools that make media content integration extremely easy, scalable and highly maintainable, like the Grilo project.

Igalia can help you build top-notch solutions for media centres and players targeting TV, Set-top boxes and other multimedia enabled devices based on open source technologies. Our multimedia team can lead specific parts of the software development, provide advice and insight on the solutions used, join an in-house team to leverage its strenghts or help companies align their work and needs with the open source community.
