PyTrickle data channels extend real-time sessions with non-media output. A pipeline can produce video on the media channel and structured data (transcriptions, labels, metrics) on a data channel simultaneously.

Reading data channel output

The events_url is available on LiveVideoToVideo when the pipeline declares data output support. If the pipeline does not produce data output, events_url is None.

Writing data from a FrameProcessor

Inside a BYOC container, write data channel output through the StreamServer’s data publish interface:
Data channel segments are independent of media segments. They can be published at any rate and do not need to align with video frame boundaries. The data channels concept page covers the trickle data channel architecture. The FrameProcessor reference covers the full processing API.
