Hardware Accelerated Transcoding

Transcoding is a combination of video decode and encode. Using the above hardware capabilities can accomplish a high-performance transcode pipeline. There is not a dedicated API for transcoding.

The processor graphics supports the following transcoding features:

  • Low-power and low-latency AVC encoder for video conferencing and Wireless Display applications.
  • Lossless memory compression for media engine to reduce media power.
  • Low power Scaler and Format Converter.
