Elecard NV Video Decoder

Elecard NV Video Decoder is a GStreamer plugin for decoding MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818-2), H.264/AVC (MPEG-4 Part 10, ISO/IEC 14496-10), and H.265/HEVC (ISO/IEC 23008-2 MPEG-H Part 2/ITU-T H.265) streams based on Nvidia NVENC technology.

Features

Elecard NV Video Decoder has the following features:

  • Supports various color space standards;

  • Supports multiple chroma format conversion settings;

  • Supports two deinterlacing methods: the fast Bob algorithm and the Advanced space-time algorithm;
