Welcome to the NVIDIA Multimedia API Reference. Documentation is preliminary and subject to change.

Searching for APIs and Sample Application Documentation

You can search this document for the API or sample application name by entering it in the Search field at the upper-right of this window. Typing the beginning letters of an API results in populating a drop-down list containing all APIs starting with the same letters. You can select the API of interest from the list; you can also narrow down the results list to a type of API (like enumerations), file, group, or page by floating your cursor over the magnifying glass icon. This search is case-insensitive. Dismiss the search results by clicking the X at the right of the Search field.

API Documentation

This product, in part, consists of NVIDIA APIs.

This API Documentation describes the NVIDIA APIs that you can use to customize aspects of your device's behavior. To provide unified API documentation, the API content of this volume was generated from code comments.

Warning

The API content represents the set of public APIs you can use directly. Some APIs are not documented and we advise you do not use them directly. Using undocumented APIs can lead to incompatibility when upgrading to later releases.

The APIs included in this documentation are logically grouped into a hierarchy of modules. Header files that contribute to the same capability are grouped into a single, high-level module. Each high-level module may be further broken down into functional subcategories. To view the modules in this documentation, click the API Modules tab.
