The AMD Interactive Streaming SDK provides developers with a set of building blocks and samples that allow to easily create custom low-latency streaming solutions for cloud gaming, VDI, and embedded applications using AMD GPUs.

AMD Interactive Streaming SDK is an open source project released under a non-restrictive MIT license.

Download the latest version - v1.0.0

Note: AMD Interactive Streaming SDK relies on Advanced Media Framework (AMF) SDK.

It requires AMF v1.4.36.0 (or newer), and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.3.1 driver (or newer).

This release adds the following features:

• First release!

Benefits

The AMD Interactive Streaming SDK may be used to build a variety of low-latency game and desktop streaming solutions using AMD GPUs for datacenter, desktop, and embedded environments.

It provides a comprehensive set of building blocks, samples and documentation for creating applications in various fields, including, but not limited to:

• Cloud game streaming.
• Gaming cafes (games running on servers in the back room, streaming to thin clients).
• Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI).
• Point-of-sale.
• Automotive (in-car cloud game streaming).
• Embedded (replacing HDMI/DisplayPort cable with streaming).
• Video walls.
• Virtual and Augmented Reality.

AMD Interactive Streaming SDK features

• A robust and secure network stack with the optional AES encryption providing low-latency streaming over UDP and TCP, which can be replaced with a developer’s own implementations.
• A set of reusable components for building server and client video and audio pipelines, including client-side post-processing (upscaling, compression artifact removal) where necessary, audio and video synchronization.
• A set of reusable classes to handle input devices such as keyboard, mouse, and game controllers.
• Samples of a remote desktop-like server application which captures desktop video and audio and streams it to the client.

AMD Interactive Streaming SDK allows you to build both standalone server applications performing video and audio capture, or can be integrated with the application, such as a game engine, a CAD application, or an embedded design.

Requirements

Server:

• Microsoft® Windows 10/11, Microsoft Windows Server 2019 or newer.
• AMD desktop or server GPU supported by the current driver (AMD Radeon™ RX 5000/6000/7000-series, V620, V710).
• Bare metal, passthrough, or SR-IOV configuration (subject to the driver support).

Client: 

• Microsoft Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2019 or newer.
• AMD or Intel APU/CPU.
• AMD, Intel®, or NVIDIA® graphics (post-processing features are available on AMD graphics only).
