Efficient Video Processing in System Hardware using Windows and Mac Frameworks

Multimedia content is growing in magnitude with every passing day, as the technology is emerging, and so is the number of users viewing and playing with video. Hence, processing multimedia content with low power and high speed is absolutely necessary.

In this paper, we explain the various video processing options on system hardware (GPU) provided by different vendors, and how to efficiently use them on Mac and Windows platforms.

• VImage and video tool box APIs are available for Mac platforms.
• Intel Media SDK, AMD media SDK, and AMD Framewave are available for Windows platforms.
• Demonstration of, with a typical use case, how these APIs can be plugged and used across these platforms.
