Introduction

Building sophisticated media applications with picture-in-picture, source switching, real-time overlays, etc. used to be hard. Really hard! We know because we’ve been writing them ourselves for over a decade.

But it’s not like that with Norsk Media.

Norsk Media code is straightforward, expressive, easy to write, and easy to maintain. So while it is probably a good idea to read through the core concepts behind Norsk Media and at some point go into the detail on all of the methods Norsk Media provides, it’s also OK to jump right on in.

Under the covers Norsk Media is a server with a gRPC API, so its power can easily be accessed from any programming language.

It also comes with a TypeScript/JavaScript SDK that takes care of the gRPC boilerplate for you and helps you focus on what’s most important - your media workflow and your business logic. If you are new to the world of Norsk Media, we suggest you start there.
