How can I use the GPU from the Raspberry Pi?

The graphics processor (GPU) takes over computationally intensive tasks and thus relieves the central processor (CPU). The function is directly controlled in the Restreamer with FFmpeg. The freed processor time can thus be used for other tasks.

Not only Raspberry PI GPUs are supported. If a GPU is detected on the system, it is ready for use.

GPU support is available for every stream.
