Cyberlink Announces AMD APU Optimized Updates For Software Using DirectX11 & AMD APP
 

Leveraging the new Universal Video Decoder 3 (UVD 3) and DirectX 11 feature set of new AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Units, Cyberlink's latest updates for PowerDVD, PowerDirector, MediaShow and MediaEspresso accelerate video and photo processing:

CyberLink Corp. is pleased to announce its flagship products PowerDVD, PowerDirector, MediaShow and MediaEspresso are now optimized for the AMD Fusion Family of Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), providing users with Hardware Accelerated HD playback using AMD UVD 3 technology. Utilizing AMD Fusion APUs, CyberLink offers enhanced video editing, effects rendering and accelerated facial recognition optimized for DirectX 11 DirectCompute and maximum video transcode performance.

Transcoding is a very time-consuming and computationally intensive process. With the new AMD Fusion UVD 3 (Unified Video Decoder), and AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology, CyberLink PowerDirector – the world’s first 64-bit video editing software – offers up to 3.7x faster video rendering speed, allowing users to produce professional-looking videos in less time. MediaEspresso, universal media conversion software, now offers ultra-fast transcoding capability via the UVD 3 Decoder, enabling consumers to enjoy up to 2.75x speedup in performance, significantly reducing waiting time while giving users more time to share and enjoy their HD videos.

By leveraging Hardware Acceleration on AMD E-Series APUs, the updated version of CyberLink PowerDVD, the No. 1 Blu-ray and HD playback software, now supports MPEG-2 VLD hardware decode using AMD UVD 3 technology. The updated version enables Full HD Blu-ray playback, allowing users to experience smooth playback plus the benefit of ultra low CPU usage by saving up to 70% of CPU loads.

MediaShow’s FaceMe Technology is optimized for AMD Fusion APU’s DirectX 11 capable core. Using DirectX 11 DirectCompute acceleration on AMD Fusion processors, MediaShow, a fast and easy photo and video organizer, enables accelerated facial recognition up to 35%, making it super easy and quick to find people from a large volume of photos and create memorable slideshows.
