GPU Decoding Specifications
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) decoding can lower the CPU loading and
increase the total frame rate supported by a GV-CMS. GPU decoding can
be performed on on-board VGA, external VGA, or both, under the following
specifications.
For H.264 Video Compression
On-board VGA: GPU decoding is only supported when using the following
Intel chipsets:
2
nd
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Sandy
Bridge)
3
rd
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Ivy Bridge)

8
th
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Coffee lake)
9
th
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Coffee lake /
Coffee lake Refresh)
External VGA: GPU decoding is only supported when using NVIDIA
graphics cards with compute capability 3.0 or above and memory 2 GB or
above. To look up the commute capability of the NVIDIA graphics cards,
refer to: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
Note: NVIDIA graphic cards do not support H.265 GPU decoding.
On-board VGA + external VGA: To have both the on-board VGA and
external VGA perform GPU decoding, the VGAs must follow their respective
specifications listed above.
ix
Note:
1. If you have both on-board VGA and external VGA installed, the
on-board VGA must be connected to a monitor for H.264 / H.265 GPU
decoding.
2. You can install multiple external graphics cards if needed.
3. CUDA compute capability 5.0 or higher is required to ensure optimal
performance.
For H.265 Video Compression
On-board VGA: GPU decoding is only supported when using the following
Intel chipsets:
6
th
Generation Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 Desktop Processors (Skylake)

Note:
1. If you have both on-board VGA and external VGA installed, the
on-board VGA must be connected to a monitor for H.264 / H.265 GPU
decoding.
2. You can install multiple external graphics cards if needed.

Center V2
With Center V2, central monitoring station (CMS) can be deployed
immediately because it brings multiple GV-System / GV-VMS together into
an integrated interface, allowing the operator to manage several systems
from one point of control. The basic feature of Center V2 is to view live
video, and receive video evidence (in an attachment format) when any
alerts are sent to Center V2. This helps the remote-end operator easily
determine the nature of the alarm.
Center V2 also supports GV IP devices (GV-Video Server, GV-Compact
DVR, GV-IPCam) for central monitoring.
