This template is used to populate the Device Infobox with information about a hardware encoder/decoder device, like an MPEG decoder or the hardware encoding part of a video capture board. See DVD Illusion for example use. As this template sits inside an infobox, it can be combined with other templates in the case of multi-function devices.

Valid parameters and examples specific to this infobox are:

Parameter Meaning
Max res X = Value Number of pixels in width of the maximum screen resolution, with the most amount of memory, in any available colour depth. This refers to the largest video that can be processed. Set to 0 for audio-only devices.
Max res Y = Value Number of pixels in height of the maximum screen resolution, with the most amount of memory, in any available colour depth. This refers to the largest video that can be processed. Set to 0 for audio-only devices.
Encode = Value Text value for the video, audio, or other codec that can be encoded by this device. One or more comma-separated values of:
  • [[Can encode::None]] - no hardware decoding is supported

Video:

  • [[Can encode::MPEG-1]] - a codec in the MPEG-1 family
  • [[Can encode::MPEG-2]] - a codec in the MPEG-2 family

Audio:

  • [[Can encode::AC-3]] - a codec in the Dolby Digital AC-3 family
  • [[Can encode::ADPCM]] - Wikipedia:ADPCM

Add others to this list as needed - try to be general, avoiding codec profiles and variants and using family names instead. More detail can be given in the article text if needed.

Decode = Value Text value for the video, audio, or other codec that can be decoded by this device. One or more comma-separated values of:
  • [[Can decode::None]] - no hardware decoding is supported

Video:

  • [[Can decode::MPEG-1]] - a codec in the MPEG-1 family
  • [[Can decode::MPEG-2]] - a codec in the MPEG-2 family

Audio:

  • [[Can decode::AC-3]] - a codec in the Dolby Digital AC-3 family
  • [[Can decode::ADPCM]] - Wikipedia:ADPCM

Add others to this list as needed - try to be general, avoiding codec profiles and variants and using family names instead. More detail can be given in the article text if needed.

Default values are shown if the parameter is omitted, so do not use any parameters unless the value is known (most of the defaults say "unknown").
