 ## Design decisions
 To meet our goal of "read and understand in about a weekend" python was chosen as language for the high-level parts, with [GStreamer](http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/) for the low-level media handling. GStreamer can be controlled via the [PyGI](https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/PyGObject) bindings from Python.
-As an Idea borrowed from gst-switch, all Video- and Audio-Streams to and from the core are handled via TCP-Connections. Because they transport raw Video-Frames the only reasonable transport is via the loopback interface or a dedicated GBit-NIC (1920×1080×2 (I420)×8 (Bits)×25 (fps) = ~830 MBit/s). Nevertheless TCP is a quite efficient and good supported transport mechanism. For compatibility with ffmpeg and because of its good properties when streamed over TCP, [Matroska](http://www.matroska.org/) was chosen as a Container.

-The ubiquitous Input/Output-Format into the core-process is therefore Raw I420 Frames and Raw S16LE Audio in a Matroska container for Timestamping via TCP over localhost. Network handling is done in python, because it allows for greater flexibility. After the TCP connection is ready, its file descriptor is passed to GStreamer which handles the low-level read/write operations. To be able to attach/detach sinks, the `multifdsink`-Element can be used. For the Sources it's more complicated:

To be able to attach/detach sinks, the `multifdsink`-Element can be used. For the Sources it's more complicated:
 
 When a source is not connected, its video and audio stream must be substituted with black frames ans silence, to that the remaining parts of the pipeline can keep on running. To achive this, a separate GStreamer-Pipeline is launched for an incoming Source-Connection and destroyed in case of a disconnect or an error. To pass Video -and Audio-Buffers between the Source-Pipelines and the other parts of the Mixer, we make use of the `inter(audio/video)(sink/source)`-Elements. `intervideosrc` and `interaudiosrc` implement the creation of black frames and silence, in case no source is connected or the source broke down somehow.
 
-If enabled in Config, the core process offers two formats for most outputs: Raw-Frames in mkv as described above, which should be used to feed recording or streaming processes running on the same machine. For the GUI which usually runs on a different computer, they are not suited because of the bandwidth requirements (1920×1080 I420 @25fps = 791 MBit/s). For this reason the Servers offers Preview-Ports for each Input and the Main-Mix, which serves the same content, but the video frames there are jpeg compressed, combined with uncompressed S16LE audio and encapsulated in mkv.

 Also, if enabled in Config, another Building-Block is chained after the Main-Mix: the StreamBlanker. It is used in Cases when there should be no Stream, for example in Breaks between Talks. It is sourced from one ASource which usually accepts a Stream of Music-Loop and one or more VSources which usually accepts a "There is currently no Talk"-Loop. Because multiple VSources can be configured, one can additionally source a "We are not allowed to Stream this Talk" or any other Loop. All Video-Loops are combined with the Audio-Loop and can be selected from the GUI.
