I have a video encoded in the format show below, sound plays fine but the video performance is poor, dropping a lot of frames. Is this a format the Vero 4K+ can handle?

It’s x264 10 bit even an older i5 struggles with that

3

Hi10 isn’t supported at this time

And it’s very unlikely that it ever will be with this SoC or am I mistaken?

5

Some less complex material can be played back, but there is no official support for Hi10 denoted by the SoC vendor.

No GPU/SOC in existence that that is able to hardware decode H10P AVC, that exotic profile is basically unsupported everywhere. It has to be done by the CPU, wich usually doesn’t work out very well on SOCs at HD resolutions. Hence no one with clear state of mine would use that exotic profile. Still some people decided to do it anyway because (faulty) reasons.

That’s not quite correct. Matrox cards decode Hi10p and even Hi444PP- Matrox Mura IPX

8

Maybe @sam_nazarko could sell those as a vero 4k addon card :thinking:

9

That’s neither a GPU nor a SOC my friend…

I heard the next Vero will be able to make coffee.

I heard the 2020 model will be delivered with a droid called Sam that mows your lawn, talks to your in-laws on the phone and takes your wife shopping

I’m going to use it to replace my bidet.

What is it then?

At $3300, what does it’s designation matter?

These are professional capture/decoder cards used to create video walls…

When it comes the Mura IPX you have different versions: a) capture from inputs, decode from network, b) capture from inputs, decode and encode from network, c) decode from network and display (inputs are outputs then). Often used in combination with video controllers or multiplexer cards.

Here you see them for example: ISE 2019: Matrox Features Its Mura IPX Series Capture Cards - YouTube
