Introduction




1.0 Introduction

The Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software, is a reference media player

application for digital signage, interactive whiteboards (IWBs), vending, and kiosk usage

models. It harnesses fixed-function hardware acceleration for superior media streaming

performance, improved workload balance and resource utilization, and customizable

GPU pipeline solutions.

The architecture of the implementation includes the Intel® Media SDK, a high-level API,

which improves developer experience by promoting portability and compatibility with a

range of processors. In addition, Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software integrates

with Microsoft Media Foundation* to create a pipeline for media encoding, decoding,

and post-processing with the use of built-in and custom Media Foundation*

components. Available for Windows® 10, Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software

also contains an implementation for compositing various media content streams on a

single display to create a rich user experience.

This white paper describes the architecture of Intel® Media Accelerator Reference

Software, a software reference solution applicable to many different market usage

models.

1.1 Objective

Intel’s fixed-function hardware acceleration, with integrated GPU, promotes efficient

workload balancing of a system’s GPU and CPU resources. Offloading media and

graphics tasks from the CPU to the GPU frees available CPU cycles for other activities,

such as video analytics and AI and creates opportunity for developing new usage

models.

In addition, potential developer integration of Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit

enhances computer vision (CV) and analytics possibilities. Many different usage models,

from simple audience counters at a kiosk to emotion detection in an IWB, employ video

analytics and AI. For example, developers of educational models can employ computer

vision and behavioral analysis in IWBs to monitor student response to presented

content. Over time, collected data can be used to design and calibrate content and

interactions. With behavioral data reference implementations, solution providers can

gain insight into user responses and craft improved messaging, personalization,

prediction, and more.

Decode, Post-process, and Encode Video




4.0 Decode, Post-process, and Encode Video

Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software employs the Intel® Media SDK, an API for

developing applications that leverage optimized hardware acceleration. Optimization

occurs not in the application layer but in the low-level libraries and the GPU driver,

increasing the likelihood that developers can create portable software that scales

across a wide-range of platforms.

Container file output

Figure 1. Pipeline Accelerator Model (Intel® Corporation, 2016)

The SDK handles three operations: decode, video post-process, and encode. Figure 1

illustrates the SDK performance optimization focus. These operations correspond to

GPU pipeline stages in which the output from one stage provides input to the next. The

SDK employs an asynchronous framework to schedule work in the pipeline. As a result,

each stage may have multiple frames in some phase of processing on the GPU (Intel®

Corporation, 2016).

The design of Intel® Media SDK focuses on workload consolidation of the three

elementary video stream operations, as this is where optimization is most needed.

When using this accelerator model, developers create applications that establish

sessions and schedule work in the pipeline, but the applications do not control

precisely when the work occurs. Applications set parameters for the processes via the

API, and low-level architecture of the SDK handles the details of transcoding sessions

to balance workloads, ensuring optimal performance of CPU and GPU (Intel®

Corporation, 2016).

§

Microsoft Media Foundation* Framework




5.0 Microsoft Media Foundation* Framework

The Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software application layer interfaces to

Microsoft Media Foundation*, a platform for enabling developers to create advanced

video and audio processing applications on Windows*. Media Foundation* uses the

component object model (COM) and provides a pipeline layer, consisting of three main

components, to manage and process media data (Microsoft* Corporation, 2018).

5.1.1 Pipeline Components

Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software uses built-in Media Foundation*

components as well as custom implementations to achieve maximum media streaming

flexibility. Table 7 lists and describes the operations of the three main components of

Media Foundation.

Table 7. Media Foundation Components (Polinger, 2011)

Figure 2. Media Foundation* Operations on a Multiplexed File

Figure 2 illustrates a generalized Media Foundation* pipeline with component

operations on a multiplexed file. In this example, a multiplexed file is demultiplexed,

separated into video and audio streams, by the Media Foundation* Source. The

decoders, Media Foundation* Transform components, un-compress the streams, and

two sinks, an EVR and SAR, render the streams (Microsoft* Corporation, 2018).

§

Composite and Render Video




6.0 Composite and Render Video

Traditionally the compositing process involves the creation of a single image from

multiple source images in order to provide the illusion of a single image. For example, a

composite of figures in a landscape may consist of a large landscape image as the

background, with multiple smaller images of figures in the foreground. Intel® Media

Accelerator Reference Software uses video compositing to combine multiple types of

streams on a single display.

Figure 3. Composite Video Example

Figure 3 depicts a composite from multiple sources combined with a ticker tape text

scroll at the bottom of the screen. In this example, static images are combined with

streaming media types and text to produce a multi-stream display for digital signage.

Figure 4 illustrates the compositing process in Intel® Media Accelerator Reference

Software, which is designed to accept various media types, such as text streams and

video content. The compositor of the Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software

architecture creates the composited stream by combing a Primary Stream with one or

more Sub-streams. The resulting composited frame is pipelined to Direct3D* 11 for

rendering.

§





7.0 Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software

Beginning with 2nd generation products, Intel® Core™ processors contained integrated

graphic processors (IGPs) or GPUs known collectively as Intel® Graphics Technology.

With these GPUs, Intel provided fixed-function hardware acceleration for various types

of media processing. The GPUs significantly boosted graphics performance and

improved overall system efficiency by freeing up the CPU to focus on other operations.

Intel® Quick Sync Video uses Intel® Graphics Technology to deliver media encoding,

decoding, and post-processing. Developers of digital signage, vending, and IWB

application software can use these capabilities to improve graphics performance

significantly. For example, testing at Intel demonstrated that hardware acceleration

reduced CPU loading from 70 percent to 10 percent (Intel® Corporation, 2012) as

compared to software-only video decoding (See Appendix, Table 8).

Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software is a reference implementation of Intel®

Media SDK, a set of APIs optimized for Intel® Graphics Technology. The implementation

consists of the Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software application and source

code and demonstrates how to employ Intel® Quick Sync Video to deliver fixed-

function hardware performance for digital signage, IWBs, and other market solutions.

The solution is released under an Intel® Proprietary License.
