The Hardware Acceleration Checklist feature checks for the necessary hardware components to support Intel hardware acceleration for transcoding. If the existing hardware matches the requirements, an Install button appears. Clicking it will install a kernel, which includes the Linux kernel with the Intel patches that enable hardware acceleration. After the installation, the system will reboot and thereafter it will support Intel hardware acceleration.
