Dear Intel technician
 
1. Hardware-acceleration on the Intel Media SDK 2018 R1, Does it support HEVC codec decode, encode, 8-bit and 10-bit From Linux and Windows?
 
2. Can I Software(CPU) HEVC 8- and 10-bit decode, encode Intel Server Studio 2018 R1 Professinal Edition and Intel Xeon processor E5 v4 or v5 buying it?
 
3. Can I SW, HW accerlated encode, decode, 8-bit and 10bit a free download of Intel Media SDK 2018 R1 from Windows Server 2016?

Hi SeongHun,

Please check follow documents to see if they answered your questions:

Windows: https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/ba/5b/mediasdk_release_notes_2017.pdf

Linux: https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/db/2e/media_server_studio_essentials_release_notes.pdf

          https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/managed/cf/4d/media_server_studio_sdk_release_notes_linux_2017.pdf

We should support HEVC encode/decode in both OS, but we have some limitation on Linux.

Please let me know if there is any items which you can't get answer from these documents.

Thanks for the answer
 
 
Can I understand that the content supported by medisasdk 2017 is fully supported in 2018?
 
 
I wonder if HEVC 10-bit hardware-accerlated decoding and encoding will be in 2018 version..
 
 
Thank you..

In addition, is the Intel Media SDK version 2017 or 2018 used in Intel Media Server Studio 2018?

No, Media Server Studio doesn't support KabyLake, see the following post for detail:

Hi, Mark, I recently installed the " Intel® Media Software Development Kit 2018 R2" , as is sayed in the release note ,

"The package includes the following components: 
 Intel® Media Software Development Kit 2018 R2 – HEVC Decode Plug-in, version 1.27.8.53 
 Intel® Media Software Development Kit 2018 R2 – HEVC Encode plug-in, version 1.27.8.55 
 Intel® Media Software Development Kit 2018 R2 – HEVC GPU Accelerated Encode plug-in, version 1.27.5.55 "

 

Does it mean that "HEVC GPU Accelerated Decoder" is not available by the media sdk ?
