Facilitating interaction may be enabled through communication protocols
and/or APIs that permit information regarding image processing
capabilities of associated graphics hardware to be exchanged between
graphics device drivers and video renders. In a first exemplary media
implementation, electronically-executable instructions thereof for a
video renderer precipitate actions including: issuing a query from a
video render towards a graphics device driver, the query requesting
information relating to process amplifier (ProcAmp) capabilities; and
receiving a response at the video renderer from the graphics device
driver, the response including the requested information relating to
ProcAmp capabilities. In a second exemplary media implementation, a
graphics device driver precipitates actions including: receiving a query
at the graphics device driver from a video renderer, the query requesting
information relating to ProcAmp capabilities; and sending a response to
the video renderer from the graphics device driver, the response
including the requested information that relates to ProcAmp capabilities.
