A demo program was developed for color correcting video using the graphics card instead of using the processor. The demo program shows the abilities of this method for doing image-specific tasks. Other programs were also used to test this method’s performance of rendering video to the screen, and to test the transfer rate between the card and the processor. My conclusion is that this is something that has a great potential, but the transfer speed from the graphics card to the memory has to be improved. This is a software issue, but this problem is about to be resolved with driver updates. Already driver updates have enhanced the performance by several hundred percent. It is already a technique that is capable of enhancing the visualization of the modifications that are made. This is a sufficient reason for making programs that utilize the graphics card instead of the processor. ContentsReal-time Video Effects 1 Using Programmable Graphics Cards 1 Abstract 2 1.
