Python Implementation for Real-time Video Stream Analysis with Gemini 2.0 Multimodal Live API

Gemini API
1

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a project that requires real-time video stream analysis, and I wonder if I can use Gemini 2.0’s multimodal capabilities. Here’s my specific use case:

  1. I have a camera capturing real-time video stream (ROS topic)
  2. Send this stream to Gemini 2.0 for content understanding and analysis
  3. Gemini can interpret and describe what it sees in the video feed in real-time

Current challenges:

  • Not sure about the best way to feed the real-time video stream to the Gemini API
  • Looking for Python implementation examples

Questions for those who have experience with similar projects:

  1. What’s the recommended format for sending video streams to the API?
  2. Are there any Python code examples available for reference?
  3. What are the key performance and stability considerations to keep in mind for production use?

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!
