IT House April 5 news, a few days ago, Intel released a new Sharp unique display, including A300M, A500M and A700 series. Intel says the new Iris Display features a new Xe media engine with dedicated hardware acceleration and support for mainstream video software.
The Intel Xe Media Engine supports up to VP9, AVC, HDVE, and AV1 hardware codecs, up to 8k60 12bit HDR decoding, and 8k 10bit HDR encoding.
In addition, Intel said that for the first time, The Iris Monosity supports full AV1 hardware acceleration, which is 50 times faster than the software slowdown, and Adobe Premiere Pro, Da Vinci and other software have supported AV1 hardware acceleration such as Intel.
IT House learned that in 2018, the Open Media Alliance (AOMedia) released a new generation of video encoding AV1 (AOMedia Video Codec 1.0). Developed in collaboration with the Open Media Alliance, the encoding 4K UHD video compression ratio is on average 30% higher than that of comparable encoders.
In February 2020, Netflix applied AV1 streaming to Android mobile devices for the first time. Last year, Netflix launched an AV1 streaming service on TV devices.
As the AV1 codec gains wider acceptance, content creators may be inclined to choose Intel IRis GPUs because amD and NVIDIA graphics are temporarily unable to provide full AV1 hardware acceleration.
