Hi! The Jetson plattform has HW H264 and H265 encoding:
However, it does not support the Nvidia Video Codec SDK (https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1055566/jetson-tx2/tx2-nvenc-support/)
Will NoMachine be able to use its HW encoding capabilities? If so, is there some special configuration I should use? I have not been able to get anything other than SW Encoding.
Kind regards,
Esteban
Hi,
if your device doesn’t support HW encoding or decoding, then NoMachine will use software encoding.
If you have an Nvidia graphics card, NoMachine supports any of the graphics cards that are NVENC-enabled which you see in this list:

Hi Britgirl,
Thanks for your answer.
My device supports HW encoding and decoding with GStreamer and V4L2 API’s.
Is there some special configuration I should use on NoMachine to make it work?
Best
There is no special configuration required in order for NoMachine to use HW encoding/decoding as long as the pre-quisites are satisfied. HW and SW encoding work out-of-the-box 🙂
NoMachine supports HW encoding with Nvidia GPU cards provided those cards use the NVENC API. Your Jetson does not support NVENC, so this means NoMachine does not either, and it will revert to SW encoding.
You can find more details about hardware and software encoding in our article here:
