This specialized software development framework is intended for adding media acceleration capabilities of various modern Intel platforms to any application.
About Intel Media SDK
Intel Media SDK is a Windows utility that allows developers to integrate support for hardware media acceleration into apps. There are instruments for decoding, encoding and processing video files in several common formats. It is worth mentioning that Intel Media SDK is discontinued and no longer supported by the developer. The installation files are not available.
Brief description
The included API library covers a wide range of code optimizations for improving media playback performance inside the application. You can use all available hardware resources to accelerate the rendering process. Video decoders like HEVC, AVC, MPEG 2 and JPEG are fully supported.
Please note that Intel Media SDK only works with elementary video data streams. However, similar to HLAE, it can be integrated with FFmpeg to enhance basic functionality and improve format compatibility.
System Analyzer
This module allows developers to trace usage patterns and gather detailed information about application behavior. It is helpful for optimizing individual elements and removing performance bottlenecks.
