9 <install-flder>\ pensurce\ <install-flder>\ tls\ Surce cde f the Media SDK dispatcher Cntains the fllwing tls in binary frm: Media SDK Tracer in flder mediasdk_tracer. This utility perfrms runtime recrding f the Media SDK API calls and parameters t a lg file. Media SDK System Analyzer in flder mediasdk_sys_analyzer. This utility analyzes the system and reprts back the Media SDK related capabilities, graphics driver and cmpnents status. Installatin Installatin requires full administrative rights. Run the installer Intel_Media_SDK_2016_R2.msi. Knwn Limitatins Media SDK libraries have the fllwing knwn limitatins: The Media SDK dispatcher libmfx.lib is best used with a standard DLL entry pint (as recmmended by Micrsft*) when used in a DLL applicatin such as a Micrsft DirectShw* filter. The DLL entry pint setting can be fund under the Link > Advanced cmpiler ptins. Nn-standard entry pints can be used, but are nt recmmended. Lading f library libmfxsw32.dll/libmfxsw64.dll/ libmfxhw32.dll/libmfxhw64.dll nt thrugh the dispatcher is unsafe. Using the Media SDK in parallel with Intel Threading Building Blcks culd impact perfrmance. Frames fr different views in single AU in MVC encder must be prvided t encder in rder specified by mfxmvcviewdependency. MFX_EXTBUFF_AVC_REFLIST_CTRL and MFX_EXTBUFF_CODING_OPTION_SPSPPS external buffers are nt supprted by MVC encder. MVC encder supprts MFX_PROFILE_AVC_STEREO_HIGH nly. *Other names and brands may be claimed as the prperty f thers.

10 H.264 encder desn t supprt prcessing f mfxextpicturetimingsei template. During initializatin 0xFFFF values will be reset t default values. In runtime 0xFFFF values will be put t bitstream as is. Knwn limitatins fr H.264 Multiple-Segment Encding: Hardcded HRD parameters: bit_rate_scale = 0, cpb_size_scale = 3 Encded bit_rate_value_minus1, bit_rate_scale represent BitRate frm riginal SPS within precisin f kbps (maximum supprted BitRate is 2^16 1 kbps). Encded cpb_size_value_minus1, cpb_size_scale represent CpbSize frm riginal SPS within precisin f Kb (maximum supprted CpbSize is 2^16 1 Kb). Encded time_scale, num_units_in_tick culd be bth multiplied by 2 if the time_scale frm riginal SPS is dd. Cnflicts between SPS/PPS and mfxvideparam fr parameters that are nt cvered by SPS/PPS culd lead t change f parameters in SPS/PPS. RefPicMarkRepSEI syntax is nt supprted by MVC encder. H.264 encder (Media SDK sftware library) is knwn t be slwer n x64 platfrm than n win32 platfrm. If the MPEG-2 Vide encder mfxvideparam::mfxinfmfx::cdecprfile is initialized t 0, then the stream will be encded as MFX_PROFILE_MPEG2_MAIN. Additinally if the MPEG-2 Vide encder mfxvideparam::mfxinfmfx::cdeclevel is initialized t 0, then the stream will be encded as MFX_LEVEL_MPEG2_MAIN. MFX_FRCALGM_DISTRIBUTED_TIMESTAMP is unsupprted by InverseTelecine and Deinterlace (60i->60p) VPP filters. Target usages 4 and 5 f H.264/MVC encders (Media SDK sftware library) are knwn t be nn-mntnic in terms f encding FPS versus encding quality. H.264 decder may cnsume mre than 1 frame frm the input bitstream and then prpagate same timestamp t all f the cnsumed frames. If accurate time stamp handling is required the applicatin has t make sure that it desn t stre mre than ne-frame wise data in the input bitstream. Target usage 7 f H.264/MVC encders (Media SDK sftware library) is knwn t have a nn-mntnic quality vs. bitrate dependency. MPEG2 Vide, VC-1 and MVC decders are nt ptimized fr lw delay f utput frames. MVC encder ignres any user SEI messages fr the dependent view. MFX_CORRUPTION_ABSENT_TOP_FIELD, MFX_CORRUPTION_ABSENT_BOTTOM_FIELD, MFX_BITSTREAM_EOS are nt supprted by VC-1, MPEG2 Vide and JPEG decders. VPP always uses simple FRC algrithm based n repeat/drp frames and ignres MFX_FRCALGM_FRAME_INTERPOLATION flag. Hardware library desn t supprt UYVY frmat. *Other names and brands may be claimed as the prperty f thers. Page 10 f 16 OpenCL and the OpenCL lg are trademarks f Apple Inc. used by permissin by Khrns.

11 The feature set f JPEG decder/encder is limited t the fllwing: Baseline mde nly DCT based 8-bit samples sequential ladable 2 AC and 2 DC Huffman tables 3 ladable quantizatin matrixes interleaved and nn-interleaved scans single and multiple scans N extended, lssless and hierarchical mdes n 12-bit samples n prgressive n arithmetic cding n 4 AC and 4 DC Huffman tables HW Accelerated JPEG encde supprts nly interleaved multiple scan mde. The utput AVC and MVC streams cntain SPS and PPS headers befre IDR frames nly. mfxextvppauxdata::picstruct isn t supprted by encders and VPP. VPP scaling fr RGB32 interlaced cntent may prduce slightly blurred frames. JPEG decder des nt accept MFX_BITSTREAM_EOS as DataFlag f mfxbitstream structure. The Lk Ahead bitrate cntrl mde is nt HRD cmpliant, but there is a dedicated LA_HRD mde which is. The fllwing APIs f API versin 1.7 are nt supprted by sftware implementatin f the Media SDK Library. Make sure t call Query functins t check actual supprt in hardware implementatin f the Media SDK Library n particular platfrm.

12 T lad plugins frm Intel Media SDK HEVC Sftware Pack versin with the Media SDK sftware library frm this release yu need t call MFXInit with API versin 1.8. SW MPEG2 decde reslutin change functinality nt wrking prperly. HW accelerated VP8 decde plugin is supprted nly with Micrsft* Direct3D* 9 acceleratin path. HW accelerated VP8 and VP9 decde plugins dn t supprt Opaque memry type. HW Accelerated HEVC decde plugin utputs frames in DXGI_FORMAT_P010 fr Micrsft Direct3D 11 and crrespnding FOURCC defined frmat fr Direct3D 9. These frmats are 16 bit based and valid data bits alignment is different frm usual SW cdecs. Please refer t MSDN* pages fr descriptin. HW cmpnents can supprt usual data alignment using mfxframedata::shift set t 0 with system memry input. HW Accelerated HEVC decde plugin utputs frames in DXGI_FORMAT_P010 always fr MAIN10 prfile, even if real bit-depth fr all cmpnents is 8 bit. VPP Cmpsitin and Alpha Blending may be unsupprted fr sme specific driver versins. HEVC decde plugin will be fully HW accelerated n 6 th generatin Cre platfrms, 7 th generatin Cre, Atm x5 and x7 series(cde name Cherry Trail), and Pentium/Celern N3000 series(cde name Braswell) fr MAIN prfile, n ther platfrms where it is supprted. HEVC decde plugin will be fully HW accelerated n 7 th generatin Cre fr MAIN10 prfiles,prir platfrms will utilize hybrid acceleratin. HW Accelerated HEVC Encde supprts maximum reslutin 3840x2172. HW Accelerated HEVC Encde supprts MAIN10 prfile nly starting 7 th generatin Intel Cre platfrms. HW Accelerated HEVC Encde will always encde B slice(b slice with frward references in bth reference lists) instead f P slice.

CQP, CBR, VBR and QVBR rate cntrl methds nly. Supprted QP values range: Only prgressive encding supprted. The Screen Capture have the fllwing knwn limitatins: Screen Capture plugin lading recmmended nly with SDK HW library implementatin API 1.15 r later. In case f DirectX 11 implementatin, vide memry type, and RGB4 surface frmat usage, the applicatin frame allcatr needs t allcate the surfaces using DXGI_FORMAT_AYUV frmat because OS runtime will blck RGB surface allcatin with BIND_DECODER flag and decder utput view. In any ther cnfiguratin cases, e.g. DirectX 9 implementatin, system r paque memry type, r NV12 utput frmat, special frame allcatin is nt needed. DXVA fallback functinality desn t wrk fr reslutin change. DirtyRect detectin feature will detect dirty areas in captured frame and calesce areas t bigger nes until get 256 areas t feet int DirtyRect API buffer. Display Selectin API supprted nly fr Virtual Displays. Windws 10 acceleratin currently unsupprted, plugin will fall back t standard Micrsft functins, and perfrmance drp can be bserved. The Media RAW Acceleratr Plug-in has the fllwing knwn limitatins: Current versin supprts sessins nly initialized as MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE, MFX_IMPL_HARDWARE_ANY, MFX_IMPL_VIA_D3D11, MFX_IMPL_VIA_D3D9.

Fr reslutins mre than 6000x4000 result will be slightly different fr padded cntent and nn-padded cntent due t internal implementatin. Applicatin need t d MFXInit with API 1.10 versin t have RAW Acceleratr wrking n all available driver versins. MFX_EXTBUF_CAM_FORWARD_GAMMA_CORRECTION API is slwer than MFX_EXTBUF_CAM_GAMMA_CORRECTION n platfrms lder than 6 th generatin Intel Cre prcessrs. Vignette crrectin filter supprt is limited t pht with 8192x8192 reslutin f picture n 6th Generatin Intel Cre platfrms. Fr reslutins width bigger than 8192 and MFX_FOURCC_ARGB16 r MFX_FOURCC_ABGR16 clr types plug-in will fall back t GPU acceleratin instead f fixed functin n 6 th generatin Cre platfrms. 3D lk up table filter supprted nly n 6 th generatin Cre platfrms and will utilize render engine fr acceleratin. The Audi library has the fllwing knwn limitatins and features: Lading f Audi library libmfxaudisw32.dll/libmfxaudisw64.dll nt thrugh the SDK Dispatcher is unsafe.
