Architecture

Why libcamera in PipeWire?

• Standardized interface: Libcamera provides a unified and standardized interface for interacting with different types of camera devices. By integrating libcamera into pipewire, camera applications can use a single API to access and control camera hardware.
• Flexibility and modularity: Pipewire is designed to be a modular multimedia framework. 
• Improved performance: Libcamera is designed to provide better performance and lower latency than previous camera APIs for Linux-based systems.
• Cross-platform compatibility: Both libcamera and pipewire are open-source projects that can run on a variety of Linux-based platforms.
• Integrating libcamera into pipewire helps to simplify and streamline the process of working with camera devices on Linux-based systems.
