(so 12.8 GB/sec theoretical memory bandwidth, shared between CPU and GPU).

+Nageru currently needs:
- An Intel processor with Intel Quick Sync, or otherwise some hardware
H.264 encoder exposed through VA-API. Note that you can use VA-API over
DRM instead of X11, to use a non-Intel GPU for rendering but still use
- Quick Sync (by giving e.g. “--va-display /dev/dri/renderD128”).
+ Quick Sync (Nageru does this automatically for you if needed).
- Two or more Blackmagic USB3 or PCI cards, either HDMI or SDI.
The PCI cards need Blackmagic's own drivers installed. The USB3 cards
are driven through the “bmusb” driver, using libusb-1.0. If you want
zerocopy USB, you need libusb 1.0.21 or newer, as well as a recent
kernel (4.6.0 or newer). Zerocopy USB helps not only for performance,
- but also for stability. You need at least version 0.7.0.
+ but also for stability. You need at least version 0.7.3.
- Movit, my GPU-based video filter library (https://movit.sesse.net).
You will need at least version 1.5.2.
- Working OpenGL; Movit works with almost any modern OpenGL implementation.
Nageru has been tested with Intel on Mesa (you want 11.2 or newer, due
to critical stability bugfixes), and with NVIDIA's proprietary drivers.
- AMD's proprietary drivers (fglrx) are known not to work due to driver bugs;
- I am in contact with AMD to try to get this resolved.
+ The status of AMD's proprietary drivers is currently unknown.
- libzita-resampler, for resampling sound sources so that they are in sync
between sources, and also for oversampling for the peak meter.
- LuaJIT, for driving the theme engine.
- - libpci, for printing friendly PCI device names in an error message.
+ - Meson, for building.
- Optional: CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework), for HTML graphics.
If you build without CEF, the HTMLInput class will not be available from
http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html
Simply download the right build for your platform (the “minimal” build
- is fine) and add
CEF_DIR=<path>/cef_binary_X.XXXX.XXXX.XXXXXXXX_linux64
- on the make command line (substituting X with the real version as required).

The patches/ directory contains a patch that helps zita-resampler performance.
It is meant for upstream, but was not in at the time Nageru was released.
It is taken to be by Steinar H. Gunderson <sesse@google.com> (ie., my ex-work
email), and under the same license as zita-resampler itself.
-To start it, just hook up your equipment, type “make” and then “./nageru”.

It is strongly recommended to have the rights to run at real-time priority;
it will make the USB3 threads do so, which will make them a lot more stable.
(A reasonable hack for testing is probably just to run it as root using sudo,
