Niagara SCX SDK

With the Niagara SCX Web services software development kit (SDK), you can harness all of the power of the Niagara SCX "engine" into your own software application—without the expense and development time of a roll-your-own solution. The Niagara SCX SDK provides you with a well-defined suite of tools and example applets to simplify the creation, delivery and management of compressed audio and video media for today's growing multimedia-rich market.

A flexible software development kit

For those who want to develop a unique user experience,
or add streaming media features to existing
video applications, the Niagara SCX Software Development
Kit (SDK) is an ideal solution for:

• Broadcast automation
• Custom skins
• Custom configuration for your unique application

With little additional development, your favorite compression formats – Microsoft® Windows Media®
(Silverlight®) and Adobe® Flash® H.264, MPEG-4, H.263 and H.264, singly or in combination – can be made available to your users quickly and easily.

The Niagara SCX Web Services Interface

The Niagara SCX remote management software features are accessed via Microsoft’s Web Services Description Language (WSDL), which means you use common XML-based methods to take full control of the Niagara SCX engine.

You can add, remove, start, stop and configure exactly what you need to create the right content for your specific audience and application. The Web Services engine is pre-installed on your ViewCast system so you are ready to take complete control of the capture and compression experience.
