In a world that demands rich, interactive content, the ability to deliver flawless multimedia on embedded systems is what separates leading products from the rest. Embien provides world-class expertise in hardware design, software optimization, and framework integration to bring your most demanding multimedia visions to life, no matter the constraints.
Embien offers complete spectrum of multimedia services spectrum
We architect and implement multimedia hardware, leveraging GPUs, DSPs, and dedicated accelerators on platforms from NXP, NVIDIA, Renesas, and more.
We are experts in customizing and optimizing industry-standard frameworks like GStreamer, DirectShow, and V4L2/ALSA to extract maximum performance.
From H.265/HEVC and AV1 to low-latency WebRTC and RTP/RTSP streaming, we ensure efficient encoding, decoding, and transport for any format.
We go beyond display, integrating powerful AI/ML-driven video analytics and computer vision capabilities at the edge for intelligent decision-making.
Exceptional multimedia performance starts with the hardware. Our engineers possess profound expertise in designing, interfacing, and optimizing the hardware foundation of your system. We don't just use processors; we master them, harnessing their full potential to deliver results that exceed expectations.
Deep, hands-on experience with leading multimedia SoCs, including NXP i.MX series (i.MX6, i.MX8), NVIDIA Tegra & Jetson (TX1, TX2, Xavier, Orin), Renesas R-Car family, Xilinx Zynq SoCs, and Ingenic T-series.
We are experts in bridging complex video sources and sinks. Our experience includes designing with Analog Devices converters (ADV7280, ADV8005, ADV7482), creating custom HDMI to MIPI CSI-2 converters, and bridging CameraLink to CSI using FPGAs from Lattice and Intel.
For unique requirements and ultra-low latency, we leverage FPGAs to perform custom video processing tasks like dynamic format conversion, multi-stream video blending, and proprietary algorithm acceleration.
We integrate a full suite of connectivity options crucial for multimedia streaming, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (with A2DP), Ethernet AVB, and FlexRay.
Powerful hardware is only half the story. The software framework is the engine that drives your multimedia application. Embien is a recognized leader in the customization and optimization of multimedia frameworks, with a special focus on GStreamer. We understand its architecture intimately, allowing us to build highly efficient, low-latency pipelines for any use case. Our framework expertise includes:
We don't just use GStreamer; we extend it. We develop custom GStreamer plugins (sources, sinks, filters) to interface with unique hardware, implement proprietary algorithms, and achieve performance unattainable with standard components.
Beyond GStreamer, we are proficient in a wide range of frameworks, including DirectShow/MFT for Windows Embedded, Stagefright/AudioFlinger for Android, and the core Linux subsystems like Video4Linux2 (V4L2), ALSA, and PulseAudio.
We are experts at optimizing data paths between components, implementing zero-copy buffer sharing between GStreamer, OpenCV, OpenMAX, and custom applications to eliminate memory bandwidth bottlenecks and reduce CPU load.
The multimedia landscape is a complex web of formats and protocols. Your product must be able to handle them all flawlessly. Embien ensures your device has universal compatibility, efficiently processing a vast array of standards.
H.265 (HEVC), H.264, MPEG-1/2/4, Google VP8/VP9, Theora, and emerging standards.
MP3, AAC, WMA, Opus, FLAC, and multi-channel formats like Dolby and DTS.
JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, WebP, and raw sensor formats.
AMR-NB/WB for cellular applications, QCELP, EVRC.
Low-latency WebRTC, standard RTP/RTSP/RTCP, adaptive streaming (HLS/DASH), and broadcast-grade MPEG2-TS. We have deep experience with frameworks like Live555.
We thrive on challenges. Our core strength lies in squeezing every last drop of performance out of resource-constrained hardware to deliver a smooth, responsive user experience.
We handle everything from hardware design and kernel-level driver development to framework customization and application UI, providing a single, expert partner for your entire project.
We have a portfolio of in-house IP and ready-made software components for common multimedia tasks, reducing your development time and risk.
From video doorbells with Ingenic T31 to NVRs with Renesas RZ/V2L and complex Tegra-based systems, our credentials speak for themselves. We deliver.
