ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are a GPU video data preprocessor, a computer device, an apparatus and a method for facilitating expeditious video transfer to graphics memory for enhancing display and video capture applications, among other things. In one embodiment, a graphics preprocessor is used to preprocess video for transit via a graphics processing unit (“GPU”) directly to graphics memory without invoking a graphics driver. The graphics preprocessor includes an input configured to receive video data. It also includes a native data formatter coupled to the input and configured to format the video data as GPU data to conform with the architecture of the GPU. In at least one embodiment, the graphics preprocessor also includes a command execution unit, which can be configured to transmit an instruction executable by the GPU as a transmitted instruction to perform a graphics pipeline operation on the GPU data.
