Version: 8.2.0
The EdgeVis Encoder SDK is a library that allows developers to integrate the core capabilities offered by EdgeVis and TVI into 3rd party solutions. Aimed at application developers, the SDK provides for the development of video encoding applications that can operate with EdgeVis Servers and Viewers.
Available Platform
The EdgVis Encoder SDK is currently available for Android systems with ARM, ARM64 and x86_64 processors.
Getting Started
There is a sample Android application demonstrating the core SDK functionality. The sample is provided within the downloaded SDK package.

Android Studio
This SDK requires Android studio version 2.2 and above.
System requirements
The SDK requires an Android device running version 5.0 and above with an ARM, ARM64 or x86_64 chipset. Encoding and streaming performance varies depending on the hardware capability of the handset in use.
SDK structure
The EdgeVis Decoder SDK is split up into various components with grouped functionality. The available components in this release are:
Encoder
The core of the SDK and the main component to use. The Encoder connects to the server and encodes the video to TVI.
Encoder Settings

Archive Service
The archive service stores the video in a standards based format for playback and later retrieval by the user.
