NVIDIA Jetson Xavier - HDAV Subsystem Video Encoder
The Xavier incorporates hardware acceleration for the encoding of various coding standards through the use of its NVIDIA Multi-Standard Video Encoder. The following table describes the supported video standards, the corresponding resolution, and the maximum number of simultaneous streams.
| Standard | Profile | Resolution (Max Number of Streams) |
|---|---|---|
| H.265 |
|
|
|
| |
| H.264 |

Multimedia API
The video decoder device node is /dev/nvhost-msenc the multimedia API defines a helper class called NvVideoDecoder that creates new V4L2 video encoders, and it sets encoder capture and output plane formats. The example located in ~/tegra_multimedia_api/samples/01_video_encode provides more information on how to use the decoder.
