Overview

VCodecImsdk C++ library provides hardware video encoding/decoding (H264, HEVC and JPEG) for Intel HD Graphics based on Intel Media SDK. VCodecImsdk class inherits interface and data structures from open source VCodec library. The library provides simple interface to be implemented in different C++ projects. It is written with C++11 standard. The library is supplied as source code only in form of CMake project.
