The current configuration is displayed in the top pane. To open the M.A.R.S configuration GUI press the s key on your keyboard. When the application launches the default Full HD configuration will appear, displaying multiple overlapping zones containing components such as videos, tickers and images. To start playing around with the software launch the M.A.R.S application by typing MARS into the Windows search bar and clicking the M.A.R.S desktop application when it appears. Once you have chosen a download option and the package has downloaded, you can use any of the popular unzipping applications to unzip the content. Upon registration of serial number, Intel Media Accelerator Reference Software beta will appear available for selection.īy clicking Intel® Media Accelerator Reference Software Beta the different options available for Windows and Linux platforms will be displayed. Once you have your serial number, enter the serial number into the box shown in the screenshot below: You will receive a serial number to register for Intel Media Accelerator Reference Software. The Intel Media Accelerator Reference Software release kit is available at this site. M.A.R.S supports Windows 10, 64-bit and runs on the following Intel® platformsįollow these steps to begin working with Intel Media Accelerator Reference Software. Drivers: Intel® Open Source Graphics Driver.CPU: Intel Core processor family, Intel Xeon processor, or Intel Atom Processor (Apollo Lake).Drivers: Intel® Graphics Driver and Intel® Management Engine (Intel® ME) driver.CPU: Intel® Core™ processor family, Intel® Xeon processor, or Intel Atom® processor (Apollo Lake).Source Code Access under Intel proprietary license.IP Camera, Capture Card Input (Includes USB Camera, HDMI-IN, 3G-SDI Camera).Support for Ticker Text, RSS Feed, Image input, HTML5.4K or Ultra High Definition (UHD) Resolution.Multiple displays, up to three, which can be different, tiled, or identical.Interactive GUI to build various screen layouts for single or multiple custom media and video analytics pipeline on a variety of workloads.On Linux*, the reference implementation takes advantage of VA-API and QSV API via FFMPEG and Weston Wayland compositor to create a pipeline for video ingestion, processing, compositing and rendering. It implements the inference engine in the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit for inferencing on Intel® Core™ processors, integrated graphics from Intel, or Intel Vision Accelerator Design with Intel Movidius Vision Processing Unit (VPU). It utilizes Microsoft DirectX* for compositing and rendering.
