When watching the video, the TV needs to decode and other technical means, in order to play the video normally. Decoding is divided into two kinds: hardware decoding(RD) and software decoding(SD). Software decode and hardware decode, which way is better？
Hardware Decoding
RD is the need for a special decoding chip in the machine to complete, quality depends on the technical ability of the manufacturer. Some manufacturers strong technical strength, compatibility and decoding effect do better. And some manufacturer technology strength is a bit poor, compatibility and decoding effect do not as good as expected.
Software Decoding
SD is to use the CPU to decode, CPU performance and processing powe. Streaming media format compatibility is better
Since the parallel computing capability of GPU is much stronger than that of CPU, when GPU is used for image decoding, it can greatly reduce the pressure on CPU, so that it has enough resources to ensure the smooth operation of the device and whether it has the ability of hard decoding, which also reflects the performance of the device.
Conclusion
Hardware decoding brings good picture quality, but requires great network. Software decoding brings more smooth experience and has good streaming media support.
