intel-media-va-driver - 18.4.1+dfsg1-1 main

The VA-API (Video Acceleration API) enables hardware accelerated video
decode/encode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation
etc.) for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4
ASP/H.263, MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, and VC-1/WMV3). It provides an interface
to fully expose the video decode capabilities in today's GPUs.
.
This package contains the video decode and encode driver backend for
the Intel HD Graphics of the Intel Core processor family. The supported
platforms include:
* Broadwell
* Skylake
* Broxton
* Apollo Lake
* Kaby Lake
* Coffee Lake
* Whiskey Lake
* Cannon Lake
* Ice Lake
.
Only a limited set of encoders is available via this driver: JPEG
(Skylake and newer), AVC (Boxton and newer), HEVC and VP9 (Ice Lake and
newer). Media shaders are only available on Ice Lake and newer.
.
This driver needs to be enabled manually by setting
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD.
