There are several reasons for bringing up AMF HW context, decoder, scaler, color converter: - VCN power management control for decoder - Ability to specify which VCN instance to use for decoding (like for encoder) - Optimizations for direct video memory access from CPU - Several GPU filters like Frame Rate Conversion, Super Resolution, Compression Artefact Removal could be easily integrated - AMD will soon introduce full AMF API for multimedia accelerator MA35D including encoder, decoder, scaler, color converter, Windows and Linux. With AMF API, integration will be much easier: GPU and the accelerator will have the same API. https://www.amd.com/en/products/accelerators/alveo/ma35d.html Mikhail Mironov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
