Atom E3845 media decode rate

[HDinh1]

Hello,

Table 164. Hardware Accelerated Video Decode Codec Support on page 411 of the Atom E3800 datasheet stated that the media decode rate upto 1080p@60 and 3x 4kx2k @30fps.

Can someone clarify/confirm how much it can actually do? Can it decode 4kx2k@60fps?

Thanks,

HD

Hi Hung Dinh

Welcome to the Intel® Embedded Community.

Please take in consideration that only the decode rates from table 164 are validated by Intel®. 4kx2k@60fps is not validated by Intel®.

Best Regards.

Hi Josue,

Please confirm the statement in table 164 page 411 of the Atom datasheet is 1x 1080p60 + 3x 4k x 2k @30fps.

Is there a design limitation that it can't decode 4k @60fps, or is it just because of the display controller interfaces (eDP 1.3, HDMI 1.4a) that support only 4k @30fps, therefore Intel only characterized it up to 4k 30fps?

Thanks for your help,

HD

Hi Hung Dinh

The Intel® Atom™ 3845 has been designed to have an optimal performance under validated conditions (table 164. Hardware Accelerated Video Decode Codec Support), any other configuration should require testing and validation.

Best Regards.
