During September 2025, Narifumi Iwamoto developed interlaced video encoding support in the VDEnc AVC encoder for Xe2 and Xe3 architectures within the intel/media-driver repository. He implemented this feature in C++, leveraging his expertise in hardware acceleration and low-level driver development to expand the encoder’s capabilities for broadcast-ready workflows. The work integrated interlaced frame processing into the VDEnc path, optimizing output quality and reducing CPU usage compared to software encoding. Narifumi prepared comprehensive documentation and QA plans to support validation and benchmarking in subsequent sprints, demonstrating a thorough approach to architecture-specific video encoding and commit-based delivery.
