2.4.3.4 Hardware Accelerated Transcoding
Transcoding is a combination of decode video processing (optional) and encode. Using
the above hardware capabilities can accomplish a high-performance transcode pipeline.
There is not a dedicated API for transcoding.
The processor graphics supports the following transcoding features:
• Low-power and low-latency AVC encoder for video conferencing and Wireless
Display applications.
• Lossless memory compression for media engine to reduce media power.
• HW assisted Advanced Video Scaler.
• Low power Scaler and Format Converter.
Expected performance:
• S-Processor Line: 18x 1080p30 RT (same as previous generation).
Note: Actual performance depends on Processor Line, video processing algorithms used,
content bit rate, and memory frequency.
2.4.4 Switchable/Hybrid Graphics
The processor supports Switchable/Hybrid graphics.
Switchable graphics: The Switchable Graphics feature allows the user to switch
between using the Intel integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card. The Intel
Integrated Graphics driver will control the switching between the modes. In most cases
it will operate as follows: when connected to AC power - Discrete graphic card; when
connected to DC (battery) - Intel integrated GFX
Hybrid graphics: Intel integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card work
cooperatively to achieve enhanced power and performance.
