Helix (multimedia project)

Helix DNA was a project to produce computer software that can play audio and video media in various formats and aid in creating such media. It is intended as a largely free and open-source digital media framework that runs on numerous operating systems and processors (including mobile phones) and it was started by RealNetworks, which contributed much of the code. The Helix Community was an open collaborative effort to develop and extend the Helix DNA platform. The Helix Project has been discontinued.

Not to be confused with Helix (database).

Helix DNA Client is a software package for multi-platform, multi-format media playback. Helix Player is a media player that runs on Linux, Solaris, Symbian, and FreeBSD and uses the Helix DNA Client. The Helix DNA Producer application aids in producing media files, and Helix DNA Server can stream media files over a network.
