Mixtile indicates the following: “the Mixtile Core 3588E’s VPU codec capability is twice that of Jeston TX2 NX. Jeston TX2 NX can only be Video Decode 2x 4K@p60|Video Encode 1x 4K60, Mixtile Core 3588E is 8K@p60 video decoding (H.264/H.265/VP9), equivalent to 4-channel 4K@p60 decoding capability. The encoding is 8K@p30 video encoding (H.264/H.265), equivalent to 2-channel 4K@p60.”
