# Video APIs

Use the video APIs to configure the video buffers and video converter.

- **[GstImageBufferPool APIs](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/gstimagebufferpool-apis.html)**  

GstImageBufferPool  APIs enable you to configure video-specific requirements such as         stride alignments or pixel padding, and the type of memory management (GBM/ION).
- **[GstGlesVideoConverter APIs](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/gstglesvideoconverter-apis.html)**  

The GstGlesVideoConverter APIs use the GPU through the OpenGL ES based IB2C library         to provide hardware-accelerated image manipulation, transformation, and color conversion         operations.
