I'm thinking about buying the latest Roku Ultra because it says it support AV1 media format. Does it have a hardware decoder or how does it manage to do it when even my nvidia Shield Pro doesn't direct play av1 content?

- thegoleffect 5y agoThe Ultra 2020 edition and onwards use the Realtek RTD1319 for av1 decoding. (disclaimer: I used to work there)
- at_a_remove 5y agoI am so curious about the Roku and what is under the hood. They really do have a lot of value for the cost. Quirky at times, though.
- sergiotapia 5y agoThank you just ordered the device.
