Core Video is a new pipeline model for digital video in Mac OS X. Partitioning the processing into discrete steps makes it simpler for developers to access and manipulate individual frames without having to worry about translating between data types (QuickTime, OpenGL, and so on) or display synchronization issues.

Core Video depends on accelerated video cards for the use of Quartz Extreme, whereas non-accelerated video cards cannot show smooth blends and pixel shading effects, and thus make use only of Quartz (not Extreme).
