NVIDIA DeepStream SDK
A complete streaming analytics toolkit for AI-based video and image understanding.
Overview
NVIDIA DeepStream SDK is a comprehensive toolkit for building efficient and robust intelligent video analytics (IVA) pipelines. It is designed to process video streams in real-time on NVIDIA GPUs and Jetson devices. DeepStream uses a modular, graph-based architecture (GStreamer) to build pipelines that can handle decoding, pre-processing, inference, tracking, and visualization for multiple video streams simultaneously.
✨ Key Features
- High-performance, multi-stream video processing
- Hardware-accelerated decoding, encoding, and inference
- Based on the open-source GStreamer framework
- Integrates with NVIDIA TensorRT for optimized inference
- Support for multiple object trackers
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Highest performance for multi-stream video analytics
- Tightly integrated with the NVIDIA hardware and software ecosystem
- Modular and extensible pipeline architecture
Unique Value: Enables developers to build highly efficient, multi-stream video analytics pipelines that achieve maximum throughput on NVIDIA hardware.
🎯 Use Cases (4)
✅ Best For
