Optimal access to AMD GPUs for multimedia processing
The AMD Advanced Media Framework (AMF) SDK provides developers with optimal access to AMD GPUs for multimedia processing.
This release adds the following features:
The AMD Advanced Media Framework (AMF) SDK may be used in developing wireless display, remote desktop, video editing, transcode and playback applications. Both cloud gaming and remote gaming applications are also possible with the AMD AMF SDK. Specifically, developers can use the AMD AMF SDK for accessing AMD media accelerators for video encoding, decoding, color space conversion, pre-analysis, pre-processing, display capture and high quality scaling.
The AMD AMF SDK allows optimization of application performance by utilizing CPU, GPU compute shaders and hardware accelerators for media processing. These optimizations are applicable to a wide range of applications such as gaming or content creation. Programming of AMD Video Engines (UVD and VCE/VCN blocks) is also an important part of the functionality that AMD AMF provides to developers.
