GstRtspSink

GStreamer Multi-Stream RTSP Server (GstRtspSink) – Stream Multiple Audio/Video Channels with a Single Plugin

GstRtspSink enables powerful, scalable RTSP streaming of multiple media channels—directly from your GStreamer pipeline. Whether you're deploying a multi-camera surveillance solution, building a modular AI vision system, or running a compact embedded RTSP server, this plugin lets you stream independent or combined audio/video streams over RTSP using a clean, unified architecture.

Designed with GStreamer developers in mind, GstRtspSink simplifies pipeline integration while supporting a wide variety of formats and flexible stream mappings.

Key Features:

• Multi-Channel Streaming
  Serve multiple independent or combined streams—each with its own RTSP endpoint (e.g., /video1, /audio2, /combined_av).

• Audio + Video Sync
  Mix separate video and audio branches into a unified stream using RTP muxing.

• Broad Format Support
  Compatible with H.264, H.265, VP8, VP9, AAC, MJPEG, and KLV metadata.

• Custom Port and URL Mapping
  Define RTSP server port (default: 8554) and stream mount points for easy client access.

• GStreamer Native
  Lightweight plugin that integrates cleanly with existing pipelines using standard GStreamer elements.

Example Use Case:

A humanoid robot equipped with four cameras—front, back, left, and right—uses GstRtspSink to broadcast each camera feed as an individual RTSP stream:

• /front – main navigation camera

• /back – rear visibility

• /left and /right – peripheral awareness

Remote operators or AI monitoring systems can connect to any of the feeds independently using standard RTSP clients like VLC, or stream them to the cloud for processing—all through a single, efficient GStreamer pipeline.

Use Cases:

• Multi-camera IP surveillance or security systems

• Autonomous robotics with stereo or multi-sensor output

• Industrial vision hubs streaming from embedded Linux devices

• Edge AI systems sending real-time video and metadata to the cloud

Supported Platforms:

• x86
• NVIDIA Jetson
• NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8
• Xilinx US+
• TI TDA4VM
• Qualcomm Robotics RB5/RB6
• Any Linux platform with GStreamer 1.x and networking capabilities
