# 🐙 Kimera (Alpha Work-in-Progress)
### Low-latency hardware-accelerated codec-based video streaming utility.
## Features
- ⚡ Low-latency (~35ms).
- 🦑 Multi-Platform (Linux, macOS, Windows).
- 🔋 Low-overhead with Hardware Acceleration.
- 🖼️ Works with any codec (HEVC, AVC, VP9, VP8, AV1).
- 🧳 Supports multiple transport streams (UDP, TCP, UNIX, GNURadio).
- 🔑 Encrypted tunnel between TCP peers (TLS v1.3).
## Compatibility
### Interfacing
| OS | Display | Screen-Capture | Native Video Source | Native Video Sink |
|----------|-----------|--------------------|---------------------|-------------------|
| Linux | ✅ (GLFW) | ✅ (XCB) | ✅ (V4L2) | ✅ (V4L2) |
| macOS | ✅ (GLFW) | ✅ (AVFoundation) | ✅ (AVFoundation) | ❌ |
| Windows | ✅ (GLFW) | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
### Hardware Acceleration
| Technology | Encode | Decode | Description |
|--------------|--------|--------|-----------------------------|
| VideoToolBox | ✅ | ✅ | Apple Devices (macOS & iOS) |
| NVENC/CUVID | ✅ | ✅ | Modern Nvidia GPUs |
| OMX | ✅ | ✅ | Broadcom SoC (Raspberry Pi) |
| VAAPI | ❌ | ❌ | Modern Intel CPUs |
## Installation
Pre-compiled binary packages will be available once this app reaches beta. For now, if you want to try the pre-release version of the app, you should compile it yourself by following the instructions below.
### Dependencies
- C++17 Compiler
- GLFW
- OpenGL ES >3.0 or OpenGL >3.3
- LibAV >12.3
- CMake >3.13
- XCB (For Linux)
- Xcode Toolchain (For macOS)
#### Linux-Debian
This list will be reduced once Meson is implemented in the next version.
```shell
$ sudo apt install libavcodec-dev libavfilter-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libglfw3-dev libyaml-dev libssl-dev build-essential cmake git pkg-config python3 python3-pybind11 python3-dev libwebsocketpp-dev libboost-all-dev
```
#### macOS
You will need to compile Google's ANGLE OpenGL ES 3.0 for this to work on macOS. Thank Apple.
### Compilation
```shell
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/luigifreitas/kimera.git
$ cd kimera
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make -j
$ sudo make install
```
## Usage
Create a server with the `/dev/video0` as input and localhost TCP as output.
```shell
$ kimera tx ../examples/linux.yml
```
Receive the video from the TCP server and display it on the screen.
```shell
$ kimera rx ../examples/linux.yml
```

## Roadmap
This is a list of unfinished tasks that I pretend to pursue soon. Pull requests are more than welcome!
- [ ] Replace current render with `librender`.
- [ ] Replace CMake with Meson.
- [ ] Better WebCodecs support.
- [ ] Add WebTransport module.
