US 2019/0158704 A1 · GAME ENGINE APPLICATION DIRECT TO VIDEO ENCODER RENDERING

Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for rendering images directly to a video encoder are disclosed. A game engine includes an embedded rendering unit configured to render images in different color spaces depending on the mode. The rendering unit renders images for a first color space only to be driven directly to a display while operating in a first mode. The rendering unit renders images for a second color space only which are provided directly to a video encoder while operating in a second mode. In a third mode, the rendering unit renders images for both color spaces. In one embodiment, the first color space is RGB and the second color space is YUV. The game engine also generates a plurality of attributes associated with each rendered image and the video encoder encodes each rendered image into an encoded bitstream based on the attributes associated with the rendered image.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a game engine comprising a rendering unit configured to render images for display;
and
a video encoder configured to encode rendered images that have been rendered in a first color space;
wherein the rendering unit is configured to:
render each image in the first color space;
generate attributes associated with each image rendered in the first color space;
and
convey the attributes and each image rendered in the first color space to the encoder;
wherein the encoder is configured to encode each rendered image based on the plurality of attributes provided by the rendering unit.
