Provide frameserver for streaming output #202

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Frameserver streams video to frameclients, using a process known as 
frameserving. The video is sent directly to the frameclient, frame by frame 
without having to create intermediate files. This way it is possible to use the 
output of a program (acting as the frameserver) to be used as the source by 
another program (acting as the frameclient) to record or processes it. Without 
frameserving the output of a program would first need to be saved to a file 
which could then be opened by another program. This use unnecessary disk space, 
require more time and could result in quality loss due to compression.

As for gamekit engine - the may improve its usage for analysis, drawing and 
visualization purposes allowing to pipe the output to postprocessing 
applications and filters.
