My Synology NAS use an ARM: I chose badly: very few video format are supported..
- adrian_b 4y agoThere are a lot of different devices that include ARM cores. Some of them have actually been designed for TV set top boxes as their primary application, e.g. most of the models from Rockchip. These support a lot of video formats in hardware, even more than typical desktop GPUs from the same year. For example the Rockchip 3588, launched this year and used in many single-board computers that have just been announced, is one of the first devices providing a fast hardware AV1 decoder, besides decoders and encoders for all older codecs. However, some of these devices with ARM cores have vendor-provided video drivers only for Android, to be used in smart TVs, so it may happen that the device used in your Synology NAS actually supports in hardware more video formats than you can use, and you are limited by the available video driver, which is incomplete.
