Intel® Quick Sync Video - Create, Edit and Share Video

Intel® Quick Sync Video simplifies and accelerates a variety of digital video processes. As a built-in component of all 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors, this technology allows you to quickly create DVDs or Blu-ray* discs, edit videos, convert video files for your portable media player, and convert videos for upload to your favorite social networking sites.

Convert HD video twice as fast

Transfer video from one device to another in no time. PCs with Intel® Quick Sync Video can convert HD video content to a handheld device twice as fast as PCs based on previous generation Intel® Core™ processors.

How Intel® Quick Sync Video works

Transferring video content between hard drives, DVDs, camcorders, cell phones, and the Internet requires compression and encoding to a specific format.

Until now, the complexity and intensive processing of encoding formats meant playing, burning, and converting video content to a new format could take considerable time, special software or additional hardware.

Intel® Quick Sync Video Technology accelerates encoding with built-in hardware and software, so you don’t need anything extra. It comes standard on all 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i3, Core™ i5, or Core™ i7 processors.

Put Intel® Quick Sync Video to the test

Many independent software vendors (ISVs) have begun optimizing their products for this new technology, including:

• Arcsoft MediaConverter*
• Arcsoft MediaImpression*
• Badaboom Media Converter*
• Corel Digital Studio*
• CyberLink MediaEspresso*
  
• CyberLink PowerDirector*
• MainConcept*
• Movavi Video Converter*
• Roxio Creator*

How it works

Video content is compressed and encoded into a specific format when it is stored on hard drives, DVDs, in camcorders, cell phones, or broadcasted.

Encoding formats are complex; they require intensive processing. To play content, burn it on a DVD or Blu-ray disc, or copy to your phone, it might need to be converted to a new format, which takes a lot of time. Special software or additional hardware. Intel® Quick Sync Video Technology accelerates encoding with built-in hardware and software, so you don’t need anything extra. Just any 2nd generation Intel Core™ i3, Core™ i5, or Core™ i7 processor.
