Can Codec Engine run custom algorithms (non-codecs)?
Yes. Codec Engine can run any algorithm that is XDAIS-compliant. Refer to the XDAIS documentation on how to make your algorithm compliant. Once you have an XDAIS-compliant algorithm, you can create an extension package (which contains the application API tailored for your algorithm, stubs, skeletons) to enable the algorithm to be executed using CE in a remote procedure call. The creation of an extension package is described in the Codec Engine Algorithm Creator User’s Guide. An alternative to creating an extension class is to modify your algorithm to implement the XDM-defined, IUNIVERSAL interface. This would eliminate the need to create a custom, extension class and its stubs/skeletons, as recent releases of CE provide remote execution support for IUNIVERSAL-implementing algorithms. See Getting_started_with_IUNIVERSAL.
