Media Engine

A Media Engine is a piece of software that handles media processing.

In the case of VoIP and WebRTC, this boils down to taking care of the following set of tasks:

  • Integrating with voice (and video) codecs
  • Integrating with peripherals and devices, such as microphone, camera, speaker and display
  • Dealing with network related problems such as packet loss, packet reordering and jitter
  • Handling acoustic echo
  • Optimizing media quality by way of heuristic algorithms such as noise reduction (both voice and video)
  • Implementing network transport proocols, such as RTP

WebRTC is a Media Engine with a standardized Java Script API that is embedded in a web browser.
