AM437X video encode and decode

ares zhou

Hello All

I am using AM437x-evm development board. when i run H.264 Decode in Matrix， i found cpu usage rate greater than 95%。

In this example, whether decoding is achieved with software method？

Can we encode or decode video with hardware method for H.264 and MPEG4 to reduce CPU usage?

Best Regards

Hi Zhou,

I will direct this question to the SW team, but response will probably be delayed until the holidays are over.

AM437x has no HW acceleration for video encode or decode, so you must use the CPU.
