Transcoding for Optimal Video Consumption

Video streams may constructed using various standards, which contain information such as resolution, frame rate, color depth, etc. It is the job of the transcoder to take in one format and produce another format that would then be used downstream. While an application could be written that does the transformation, optimizing the application requires the expertise of the hardware manufacturer.

Creating Applications with the Intel Computer Vision SDK

“In order for developers to be able to focus on their application, a Vision Algorithm Designer application is included in the Intel Computer Vision SDK. This gives users a drag and drop interface that allows them to create new applications on the fly. Large and complex workflows can be modelled visually which takes the guesswork out of bringing together many different functions. In addition, customized code can be added to the workflows.”
