## What it is
VideoCore is a C++ library providing an audio and video manipulation and streaming graph for building live broadcast pipelines (camera/microphone sources, mixers, H.264/AAC encoders, RTMP output). It targets iOS primarily, with some OS X support, and is no longer in development in favor of SwiftVideo.

## Use cases
- stream live camera video to an RTMP server from an iOS app
- build a live broadcasting app with H.264 and AAC encoding
- composite and mix multiple audio and video sources
- add watermarks or images to a live video stream
- capture microphone and camera and packetize for RTMP

## When to choose
- you must maintain a legacy iOS live-streaming app already built on VideoCore
- you need a C++ media graph pipeline on iOS with RTMP output

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use the successor SwiftVideo instead
- you need Android or cross-platform live streaming support
- you need actively maintained code with recent fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: video-processing, audio-processing, streaming
- domain: media, mobile-development
- platform: cpp
- tags: rtmp, live-streaming, h264, aac, broadcasting, media-graph, successor-swiftvideo, video, ios, macos
