What's Included
| 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. |

Product and Performance Information
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice.
