Sample Name
 Description
Transcoding
 sample_multi_transcode
Transforms an elementary video stream from one compressed format to another.
Encoding
 sample_encode
Converts raw video frames into an elementary compressed stream.
Decoding
 sample_decode
Transforms a compressed video stream into raw frames using HEVC decode and VP8 decode. The plug-in and the included sample_decvpp demonstrate decode functions with color conversion of raw video sequences.
Video Processing
 sample_vpp
Demonstrates how to use algorithms that process raw frames using denoising, deinterlacing, inverse telecine, and color conversion techniques.
OpenCL™ Standard Video Motion Estimation (VME)
 Provides step-by-step guidelines on using Intel’s motion estimation extension for the OpenCL standard. The motion estimation extension includes a set of host-callable functions for frame-based VME.
OpenCL™ Application Interoperability
 ocl_media_sdk_interop
Shows how to use Intel Media SDK and Intel® SDK for OpenCL™ applications together for efficient video decoding and fast post-processing.
HEVC GPU Assist APIs
 sample_h265_gaa
Supplies examples of the typical data and control flow for using HEVC GPU Assist APIs effectively.
