The enterprise video SDK that replaces legacy C++ players. Memory-safe, hardware-accelerated, and formally verified. From hotel kiosks to Samsung fridges to cloud pipelines.
Native GStreamer or WebAssembly. Ship the same engine to every platform without rewrites.
Samsung, LG, Android TV. GStreamer native or WASM in the built-in browser.
Self-registration screens, lobby displays. Embedded Linux with hardware decode.
Menu boards, retail screens, airport displays. 24/7 HLS playback with failover.
WebAssembly module. Drop into any page. No native install required.
Tauri 2 wrapper for macOS, Windows, Linux. Native performance, tiny bundle.
Python bindings, CLI pipelines, headless transcoding. Integrate anywhere.
Kino replaces fragile C++ media stacks with Rust-powered reliability. Zero memory leaks. Zero crashes.
Menu boards, retail displays, airport screens. 24/7 HLS playback with automatic failover and zero memory leaks.
Hotel room entertainment, lobby kiosks, self-check-in screens. Embedded Linux with hardware-accelerated decode.
Samsung fridges, LG displays, in-store demo units. Ultra-lightweight binary, minimal CPU/RAM footprint.
DICOM video playback where crashes are literally unacceptable. Formally verified state machines.
Multi-stream decoding for camera feeds. Rust's ownership model eliminates the buffer overflows that plague legacy players.
Replace components in AWS Elemental and Azure Media Services. WASM modules for browser-based editors.
70% of common video player vulnerabilities are memory-related. Kino eliminates them at the language level.
Rust's ownership system eliminates buffer overflows, use-after-free, and dangling pointers at compile time. Not at runtime. Not with a GC.
Perfect AV-sync and stutter-free 4K/8K playback. Rust prevents race conditions that cause the glitches in legacy players.
TLA+ specifications with 25+ invariants for critical business logic. NoDoubleCharge. ExactlyOnceDelivery. Proven correct, not just tested.
7 independent crates. Import only what you need. Core HLS/DASH engine, audio fingerprinting, WASM player, or Python bindings.
