- ksec 5y agoAgain IANAL but license are per devices and not per IP blocks so you dont double pay for each and every components ( Hardware Encode Decode in CPU and GPU ). And generally speaking that is up to the OEM and Devices Manufactures to have it done.
- kkielhofner 5y agoIANAL disclaimer as well but each component (hardware block, x264/x265 instance) is (IIRC) considered a separate "unit" [0]. [0] Slide 10, bullet one https://www.mpegla.com/wp-content/uploads/avcweb.pdf https://www.mpegla.com/wp-content/uploads/avcweb.pdf
