- Sirannon, an open source media server
Sirannon is a free, open source, media server and client. The goal is to aid in video research and experimental streaming. Sirannon allows the programmer to create a wide variety of media-handling components such as streaming, reading, writing, packetizing. By organizing these components in a workflow the programmer can create many applications such as a media server, media proxy or video tool. Sirannon was introduced at the ACM multimedia conference in October 2009 under its former name xStreamer.
Sirannon has been accepted as part of the reference toolchain, defined in the final testplan of the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG) Hybrid Perceptual/Bitstream project, for streaming video sequences and simulating network impairments.
