Questions about the hardware

[TheDreadPirate]

Containers share the kernel with the host OS. So if the host has kernel 6.2+, any containers running on the host will share that kernel.

I can't see that image at the moment, but "Tone mapping" and "VPP tone mapping" are the two settings you need to enable for HDR to SDR conversion during transcoding.

I can't remember if the 12500 has the same number of media engines as the 12100 in my system, but here were my results when I was testing with H264 as the output codec.

1080p -> 1080p - ~12 transcodes
4K SDR -> 1080p - ~12 transcodes
4K HDR -> 1080p SDR - ~2 transcodes

HDR to SDR tone mapping is very VRAM intensive, which is very limited and slow compared to a dedicated GPU.

The results may vary if the output of the transcodes are in HEVC. It has been a while since my iGPU was my transcoder.
