   7
   8 VA-API (Video Acceleration API) user mode driver for Intel GEN Graphics family
   9
  10 VA-API is an open-source library and API specification, which
  11 provides access to graphics hardware acceleration capabilities
  12 for video processing. It consists of a main library and
  13 driver-specific acceleration backends for each supported hardware
  14 vendor.
  15
  16 The current video driver backend provides a bridge to the GEN GPUs through the packaging of buffers and
  17 commands to be sent to the i915 driver for exercising both hardware and shader functionality for video
  18 decode, encode, and processing.

  25 in our list of open issues as these bugs can be solved without an
  26 extensive knowledge of intel-vaapi-driver.
