NVIDIA consumer grade hardware provides support nowadays for – mostly – three concurrent sessions. The support matrix is provided here: Video Encode and Decode GPU Support Matrix | NVIDIA Developer. This small tool starts video encoding with given signal parameters (resolution, rate) and provides an easy way to measure load of GPU video encoding engine.…
I am sometimes using a rework of earlier DxgiTakeSnapshot application for one specific purpose mentioned below. In addition to Desktop Duplication API, recent version of Windows offer a similar (in sense of acquisition of external video content) API: Windows.Graphics.Capture (hereinafter “WGC”), and the new rework is using this API to capture visual content as a…
One another small addition to StreamingServer showcase/development application: verification for WebCodecs API video streaming. WebCodecs API offers browser applications video decoding capabilities: The WebCodecs API gives web developers low-level access to the individual frames of a video stream and chunks of audio. It is useful for web applications that require full control over the way…
StreamingServer is the application I am using as internal testbed for various media processing and encoding primitives. As an application (or service) it is capable to stream HLS assets preparing them on the fly without need to keep and host real media files. The functionality includes: Encodes and multiplexes ISO BMFF Byte Stream Format media…
Following previous post on AMD hardware video encoders, this shows how better NVIDIA hardware is in comparison. And they sell successor hardware series already!
AMD is not seemingly making any progress in improving video encoding ASICs on their video cards. New stuff looks pretty depressing. AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT was a bit of a move forward, a bit. New series look about the same but even slower a bit, however it is quite clear that existing cheaper NVIDIA…
Added a few more resolutions to NvcEncode tool. Resolutions above 4K are tried with H.264 codec but they are expected to not work since H.264 codec is limited to resolutions up to 4096 pixels in width or height. So the new ones apply to H.265/HEVC. They work pretty well on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER:…
