This release adds the following features:

• Added support for Android™ client (Android 12/API 31 required for full functionality).
• IMPORTANT: Paths to the output directories have changed to accommodate builds for multiple OSs. Please update paths in your launch.json file accordingly:
  • Windows: $(workspaceFolder)/bin/Windows
  • Linux: $(workspaceFolder)/bin/Linux
  • Android: $(workspaceFolder)/bin/Android
• Added support for uncompressed audio streaming.
• Multiple stability improvements and bug fixes.

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).
• Android-based streaming clients (cloud gaming, remote desktop, and HMI apps on phones, tablets, and other Android-powered devices).
• 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.

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.
• An Android client sample demonstrating GPU-accelerated decode, efficient rendering, and low-latency input handling (touch, keyboard, mouse, and game controllers) with guidance for integration into existing Android applications.
• 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.
