Question

Does my hardware with IGEL OS offer video acceleration?

Answer

Open Application Launcher > About to look up your product ID and device type:

In version 5.07.100 and newer and version 10.01.100 and newer, IGEL OS offers hardware video acceleration for

  • Media Player
  • Citrix Multimedia Redirection
  • RDP Multimedia Redirection (TSMF and EVOR)
  • VMware Horizon Multimedia Redirection

on selected devices. This allows playing back HD video with a maximum of 20% CPU usage.

The Multimedia Codec Pack (MMCP) is required for this feature if your IGEL OS version is lower than 11.01.100.

Hardware video acceleration is supported on the following IGEL devices:

On 3rd-party hardware with UDC3, IGEL OS Creator (OSC), and UD Pocket, hardware video acceleration depends on the graphics chipset of the device.

Codecs

The following codecs are supported:

  • MPEG-2 (simple and main profiles)
  • H.264 (baseline, main and high profiles)
  • WVC1/WMV3 (simple, main and advanced profiles)
  • MPEG-4 (DivX/Xvid): only on VIA VX900 and ATI Mullins
