Nvidia Video Encoder Interface

Hardware accelerated encoding is supported on nvidia geforce quadro tesla and grid products with fermi kepler maxwell and pascal generation gpus.

Nvidia video encoder interface. Nvidia gpus contain one or more hardware based decoder and encoder s separate from the cuda cores which provides fully accelerated hardware based video decoding and encoding for several popular codecs. With decoding encoding offloaded the graphics engine and the cpu are free for other operations. Introduction nvidia gpus based on kepler maxwell and the latest pascal architectures contain a hardware based h 264 hevc video encoder hereafter referred to as nvenc.

The nvenc hardware takes yuv as input and generates a h 264 video bitstream.
