The AMD Interactive Streaming SDK provides developers with a set of building blocks and samples that allow to easily create custom low-latency streaming solutions for cloud gaming, VDI, and embedded applications using AMD GPUs.
AMD Interactive Streaming SDK is an open source project released under a non-restrictive MIT license.
Download the latest version – v1.1.0
This release adds the following features:
- NEW support added for Linux® – Ubuntu 24.04 & 22.04, RHEL 9.6 & 8.10, and SLED & SLES 15 SP7:
- Linux server support requires AMD Radeonâ„¢ Pro Software for Linux driver. Client support requires AMD Radeonâ„¢ Software for Linux or RADV driver.
- X.org is recommended over Wayland (required for server and recommended for client) due to some limitations imposed by Wayland.
Benefits
The AMD Interactive Streaming SDK may be used to build a variety of low-latency game and desktop streaming solutions using AMD GPUs for datacenter, desktop, and embedded environments.
It provides a comprehensive set of building blocks, samples and documentation for creating applications in various fields, including, but not limited to:
- Cloud game streaming.
- Gaming cafes (games running on servers in the back room, streaming to thin clients).
- Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI).
- Point-of-sale.
- Automotive (in-car cloud game streaming).
- Embedded (replacing HDMI/DisplayPort cable with streaming).
- Video walls.
- Virtual and Augmented Reality.
AMD Interactive Streaming SDK features
- A robust and secure network stack with the optional AES encryption providing low-latency streaming over UDP and TCP, which can be replaced with a developer’s own implementations.
- A set of reusable components for building server and client video and audio pipelines, including client-side post-processing (upscaling, compression artifact removal) where necessary, audio and video synchronization.
- A set of reusable classes to handle input devices such as keyboard, mouse, and game controllers.
- Samples of a remote desktop-like server application which captures desktop video and audio and streams it to the client.
The AMD Interactive Streaming SDK allows you to build both standalone server applications performing video and audio capture, or can be integrated with the application, such as a game engine, a CAD application, or an embedded design.
