8. NVIDIA Video Codec SDK interface headers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Source : NVIDIA Video Codec SDK (interface headers only)
Version : NVENCAPI 13.1
Copyright : Copyright (c) 2010-2026 NVIDIA Corporation
License : MIT License (applies to the header file only)
Used in : WindowsHost.exe
Three headers are used: nvEncodeAPI.h (NVENC), and nvcuvid.h and
cuviddec.h (NVDEC). PrismDesk calls the NVIDIA encoder and decoder at
runtime through them. No NVIDIA library or sample code is distributed with
PrismDesk; nvEncodeAPI64.dll and nvcuvid.dll are part of the NVIDIA display
driver already installed on the user's computer.
These headers come from the NVIDIA Video Codec SDK itself, not from the
FFmpeg/nv-codec-headers mirror: that project carries a different version of
nvEncodeAPI.h and does not carry nvcuvid.h or cuviddec.h at all.
This copyright notice applies to this header file only:
