NvMedia Architecture#

NvMedia provides powerful processing of multimedia data for true hardware acceleration across Orin and Thor devices. With the NvMedia and Orin and Thor firmware components, multimedia applications support multiple simultaneous camera feeds for simultaneous processing. The NvMedia features include:

  • Robust image processing and sensor control blocks for use by applications.

  • Hardware surface to handle all types of image formats such as RGB, YUV and RAW.

  • Functional components for image capture, processing, acceleration, encoding, and interoperable with other libraries.

Applications leverage the NvMedia Application Programming Interface (API) to process image and video data. Additionally, NvMedia can route image data to and from other components, such as OpenGL ES and NVIDIA CUDA®.
