Open micro-core middleware architecture that allows for arbitraty networking and device technologies to be integrated

Uniform messaging system for both out-of-band request-reply interaction as well as one-way instream interaction between connected components of a flow graph; both providing message types for multimedia data and typed control information

Extensible serialization and networking stack providing standard protocol support, such as RTP, and standard data formats, such as XML, but also highly optimized propietary components

High level of abstraction using transparently distributed flow graphs for specifying an intended (distributed) processing of multimedia streams

Distributed synchronization architecture offering high-quality synchronous capturing and rendering of media streams across all networked systems
