This directory contains Intel® Video Processing Library (Intel® VPL) example code.

Please note: this code is provided to illustrate API concepts only. It is not intended for use in production code or for performance benchmarks.

api1x_core:

These examples demonstrate use of the legacy 1.x core API subset which remains portable across hardware enabled by both Intel® Media SDK and Intel® VPL GPU runtimes. (The core API subset is Media SDK 1.x API - features removed in Intel® VPL.) This style of coding can use Intel® VPL implementation capability queries but applications must manage surface allocation.
Use this approach for maximum portability when legacy hardware support is required. For more information see our Transition Guide

api2x:

This group of examples demonstrates use of 2.x API capabilities including internal allocation. This means that applications do not need to manage surface allocation lifecycles. Use of these examples requires a runtime implementation compatible with the VPL 2.x API, such as the Intel® VPL GPU Runtime.
Please note: the Intel® Media SDK runtime only provides API 1.35, and is not compatible with these examples.

interop:

The examples in this group showcase pipelines combining Intel® VPL media capabilities with other APIs such as the OpenVINO™ Toolkit Interface.
