AI Technical Summary
In existing Electron audio and video applications, decoding is concentrated in the SDK, resulting in high CPU/GPU resource consumption, high bandwidth usage for video frame data transmission, and significant memory copy overhead, all of which impact performance. Furthermore, WebGL rendering is not as optimized as that of browser kernels.
The decoding work is offloaded to the Chromium kernel, leveraging the hardware decoding capabilities of the browser and operating system. Audio and video synchronization and data rendering are performed through Media Source Extensions (MSE), avoiding inter-process transmission of raw video data, and utilizing HTML5.
Significantly reduces CPU and GPU usage, memory usage by over 40%, system bandwidth usage by 50%, audio and video synchronization error is controlled within 10ms, improving application stability and supporting multiple protocols and operating systems.
