## Hardware Acceleration

If your hardware supports this you can enable [hardware acceleration](/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration) for much faster transcoding. Some of the supported methods are listed below. Jellyfin supports hardware accelerated transcoding on all modern GPUs from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Apple, Rockchip and Raspberry Pi if the required hardware is available.

## HDR to SDR Tone-mapping

When the source video is in HDR, it will need to be tone-mapped to SDR when transcoding, as Jellyfin currently doesn't support HDR to HDR tone-mapping, or passing through HDR metadata. While this can be done in software, it is very slow and you may encounter situations where no modern consumer CPUs can transcode in real time. Therefore, a GPU is always recommended, where even a basic Intel iGPU can handle the load without problems.
