A Frameserver is any program that acts as a media source in the process called frameserving, which transfers digital video data from one computer program to another without intermediate files.
The program that receives the data – the frameclient – could be any type of video application.
The client can request frames in any order, allowing it to pause or jump to an arbitrary frame, just as a media player does with a file on disk.
The client is most commonly a media encoder, a non-linear editing system, or a media player.
