OpenMAX
The Khronos Group's new API OpenMAX is an application programming interface that provides abstractions for routines especially useful for computer graphics, video, and sound, and in devices that process large amounts of data in predictable ways. OpenMAX intends to provide two interfaces: the Integration Layer (IL) between a media framework such as DirectShow or GStreamer and a set of multimedia components (such as an audio or video codecs), and the Development Layer (DL) an interface between physical hardware, such as DSP chips and CPUs, and software, like video codecs and 3D engines.
