The Decklight processing engine consists of
- a highly customisable and modular real-time media processing environment,

- a programming environment for straight-forward integration of processing units and media types, also through 3rd party libraries,
- a large set of existing processing units, e.g., scene and video processing graph, audio and music processing, speech processing, various types of I/O (TCP/IP, HTTP, bluetooth, MIDI, etc.).
