HD Graphics with Advanced Hardware Video Transcoding (Intel® Quick Sync Video)
NOTES
Intel Quick Sync Video is enabled by an appropriate software application.
HDMI 2.0a is enabled by LSPCON (DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0a protocol converter); Stereo 3D (S3D)
technology is not supported.
HDMI 2.0a supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 10-bit sampling. HDR requires use of
appropriate software and display hardware.
1.5.1.2 Video Memory Allocation
Intel® Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) is a method for dynamically allocating system
memory for use as graphics memory to balance 2D/3D graphics and system performance. If your
computer is configured to use DVMT, graphics memory is allocated based on system
requirements and application demands (up to the configured maximum amount). When memory
is no longer needed by an application, the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to
the operating system for other uses.
