AV1 support for RTSP GStreamer plugin

RidgeRun has recently added AV1 to the media formats supported by GstRTSPsink, as a new addition to the already robust solution for video streaming. AV1 is an open, royalty-free video format that compresses video more efficiently than older formats like H.264. AV1 can deliver high-quality video with less data, making streaming smoother and reducing buffering. Some advantages of AV1 are:


  • Better Compression: Uses less data for the same video quality.

  • Higher Quality at Lower Bitrates: Maintains quality even on slower internet connections.

  • Royalty-Free: No licensing fees, making it cost-effective.

  • Widespread Support: Compatible with many browsers and devices.

  • Future-Proof: Designed for modern streaming needs and technologies.


With this new support RidgeRun aims to support modern applications, enabling customers to easily generate RTSP streams with AV1 encoding format. AV1 might be suitable for streaming services, telecommunications, live broadcasting, surveillance, teleconferencing, remote operation and virtual reality applications.
