Hardware Accelerated Video Encode

Xe3 implements a low-power low-latency fixed function encoder which supports AVC, HEVC, VP9, JPEG, and AV1.

The HW encode is exposed by the graphics driver using the following APIs:

  • Direct3D12 Video API
  • Intel®one VPL
  • MFT (Media Foundation Transform) filters [Only for AVC/HEVC/JPEG/AV1 Encoder]

Xe3 supports full HW accelerated video encoding for AVC/HEVC/VP9/JPEG/AV1.
