Overview
The Xilinx Video SDK is a complete software stack allowing users to seamlessly leverage the hardware accelerated features of Xilinx video codecs and enable high-density real-time transcoding for live streaming video service providers, OEMs, and Content Delivery Network (CDNs). Included in the Xilinx Video SDK is a pre-compiled version of FFmpeg which integrates key video transcoding plug-ins, enabling simple hardware offloading of compute-intensive workloads using the popular FFmpeg command line interface.
The Xilinx Video SDK also provides a C-based application programming interface (API) which facilitates the integration of Xilinx video codec transcoding capabilities in proprietary frameworks.
The 2.0 release includes support for the popular GStreamer multimedia framework with the addition of several plugins to access the accelerated video transcoding capabilities.
