OS Support
- Windows - supported since the launch of the technology. UVD currently only supports DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) API specification for the Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 platforms to allow video decoding to be hardware accelerated, thus the media player software also has to support DXVA to be able to utilize UVD hardware acceleration.
- Linux - since Oct 2008. XvBA (X-Video Bitstream Acceleration) API as designed by AMD for its Radeon GPU is a future extension of the X video extension (Xv) for the X Window System on Linux and UNIX operating-systems that will enable UVD hardware acceleration on those platforms as well.
