Hi all,
in our application we are successfully using the full HW accelerared HEVC decoding available on Skylake (works great even for multiple 4K HEVC streams). We are using the Media SDK and are adding the MFX_PLUGINID_HEVCD_HW plugin into the pipeline. I read that on pre-Skylake platforms a hybrid model can be used to decode HEVC.
1. Is the hybrid model also implemented in the driver or are any additional components needed?
2. Do we need to modify our app in any way to support the hybrid model?
3. Is the hybrid model supported on 3.X generation as well (or only on 4.X and 5.X)?
I know there is a SW HEVC plugin available in the Intel Media Server Studio, but this might not be what we want. I think that the hybrid model is a different approach than the SW plugin, right?
I am sure many of you guys are using the hybrid model, thanks in advance for your answers.
Alex
