# Intelligent Audio and Video Analytics (IAVA)
A library of on-demand DeepStream Pipeline services. Written in C++ 17 with an `extern "C"` API, The DeepStream Services Library (DSL) can be called from both C/C++ and Python applications.

## Examples

### C++

```C++
#include <DslApi.h>

// New V4L2 Source
uint retval = dsl_source_v4l2_new(L"my-web-cam-1", L"/dev/video0");
```

### Python3

```Python
from dsl import *

# New V4L2 Source
retval = dsl_source_v4l2_new('my-web-cam-1', '/dev/video0')
```

DSL is built on the NVIDIA® [DeepStream SDK](https://developer.nvidia.com/deepstream-sdk), _"A complete streaming analytics toolkit for AI-based video and image understanding, as well as multi-sensor processing."_,

The DeepStream SDK and DSL use the open source [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/),  _"An extremely powerful and versatile framework for creating streaming media applications"_.

## DSL Branching Workflow



1. `Master` is always the latest release and is only updated once per release.
2. `Develop` is the next release currently in development. The branch will be named with the next release label.
3. `Feature` all work is done on feature branches, named for the feature under development. 

All pull requests should be made against the current `Develop` branch.
