This plugin is intended for use with NVIDIA hardware. Specifically, the NVENC
|
||
|
|
block available in recent NVIDIA GPU hardware. This is provided by a
|
||
|
|
libnvidia-encode library provided by NVIDIA graphic drivers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Requirements
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
Cuda > 6.5
|
||
|
|
NVENC 5.0
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk for a list of
|
||
|
|
supported GPU's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
1. Retrieve the NVENC SDK
|
||
|
|
from https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-video-codec-sdk
|
||
|
|
- http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/nvenc/v5.0/nvenc_5.0.1_sdk.zip
|
||
|
|
2. unzip this somewhere and retreive or note the location of the
|
||
|
|
nvEncodeAPI.h under nvenc_api-5.0.1/Samples/common/inc/
|
||
|
|
3. Retreive a version of cuda from
|
||
|
|
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads and install somewhere noting
|
||
|
|
the installation prefix (typically /opt/cuda or /usr/local/cuda)
|
||
|
|
4. Now that the dependencies are sorted, there are a couple of
|
||
|
|
environment variables and/or or configure arguments that are needed to
|
||
|
|
detect the necessary libraries/headers.
