"AMD Introduces ROI Video Encoder Support for Linux GPU Drivers"
AMD has added region of interest (ROI) encoding functionality to their open-source Mesa code for Linux, specifically for Video Core Next (VCN) enabled Radeon graphics hardware. This feature allows users to specify areas of the video frame that are higher or lower priority, enabling the video encoder hardware to focus its bit usage for optimal results. The ROI video encode feature is useful for applications like AR/VR and mapping persistent text to specific regions of the frame. The code is available in Mesa Git for the upcoming Mesa 24.0 feature release in Q1, along with improvements to the RadeonSI Gallium3D and RADV Vulkan drivers.
