System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding using Apple's VideoToolbox framework enables efficient real-time video processing on iOS/macOS, reducing CPU load and latency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hardware-accelerated VTCompressionSession lifecycle management for low-latency encoding.
  • Handling AVCC/Annex-B formatting, SPS/PPS extraction, and IDR keyframes to support streaming and decoding initialization.
  • Real-time configuration with pre-warming strategies to avoid first-frame latency and support quick orientation/resolution changes.

Quick Start

Configure the encoder for your target resolution and frame rate, then feed video frames to start encoding.
