Project Summary

Software Mansion rebuilt a web-based control frontend using React and took over development of a Linux-based AVC/HEVC hardware decoder that uses an OEM HDSDI video card. They implemented new functionality and performance optimizations that materially improved the platform and the client’s product line. The client is a broadcast television solution provider, and Software Mansion’s work became an important part of their business model.

Key Challenges

  • Require deep technical expertise to develop firmware/software for a Linux-based multi-channel AVC/HEVC decoder
  • Need a reliable, ongoing partner with C++ and specialized library expertise (e.g., GStreamer and AVC/HEVC libs) to enable and enhance broadcast hardware
  • Replace or significantly improve a flawed front-end control application

Project Deliverables

  • Rewritten React-based web control application
  • Firmware/software updates for Linux-based AVC/HEVC multi-channel decoder
  • Performance optimizations and new feature implementations

Project Solution

Software Mansion provided developers who rewrote a flawed web-based control application using React and assumed responsibility for the Linux-based multi-channel AVC/HEVC decoder that uses an OEM HDSDI video card. They applied C++ expertise and knowledge of key libraries (including GStreamer and AVC/HEVC libs) to add functionality and significantly improve performance. Project management was provided as a coordinating resource while most interaction occurred directly between the client's product manager and the developers.

Project Outcome

  • Improved platform performance
  • Added several new functions that enhanced the product line
  • Made a measurable business impact such that the vendor became an important part of the client's product offering
  • Successful takeover and refactor/rewrite of existing codebase leading to significant performance gains and new capabilities
