1. Hardware Accelerated Video Decoding in

2. ? What is hardware accelerated video decoding
Hardware acceleration makes it possible to shift the video decoding and image scaling from the system’s CPU (and built-in GPU) to multiple NVIDIA® GPUs.
This removes the bottle neck set by the hardware to truly maximize the potential of the system.
XProtect’s hardware acceleration results in:
Significant increase in performance
Substential decrease in CPU load
Great savings on hardware and overhead costs
