NvMedia APIs and Thread Safety

NvMedia APIs are not designed to be thread safe. It is the responsibility of the application to maintain thread safety. To ensure thread safety:

• NvMedia components can be created and used in any thread, but the APIs cannot be used from different threads concurrently.

• Different instances of the same component can be used in parallel from different threads. The same instance of a component should not be used from a different thread.

• Encoders are designed to be fed from one thread and receive the encoded bitstream from another thread.
