The OpenMAX DL API defines a set of low-level multimedia kernels or media processing building blocks. The building blocks might be used to accelerate traditional computational hotspots within standardized media [[codec]]s and other integrated media processing engines. The functional scope of the OpenMAX DL interface spans several domains including [[signal processing]] and [[image processing]], [[Audio codec|audio coding]], [[Image compression|image coding]], and [[Video codec|video coding]].

OpenMAX DL is split into five application domains:
* AC - Audio Codecs (MP3 decoder and AAC decoder components)
* IC - Image Codecs (JPEG components)
* IP - Image Processing (Generic image processing functions)
* SP - Signal Processing (Generic audio processing functions)
* VC - Video Codecs (H.264 and MP4 components)

=== Implementations===
* Optimized implementations for [[ARM architecture#Advanced SIMD (NEON)|NEON]] (for [[ARM Cortex-A8|Cortex A8]] cores) and [[ARM architecture#SIMD extensions for multimedia|SIMD]] (for [[ARM11]] cores), as well as an [[C (programming language)|ANSI C]] reference implementation, were previously available from ARM for registered users.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.arm.com:80/community/multimedia/standards-apis.php|title = Khronos Standards - ARM|date = 12 September 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004052326/http://www.arm.com:80/community/multimedia/standards-apis.php | archive-date=2013-10-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://developer.arm.com/documentation/dht0002/a/Introducing-NEON/Developing-for-NEON/Using-NEON-optimized-libraries|title = Using NEON optimized libraries|date = 12 September 2022}}</ref>
* The OpenMAX API is supported by the [[PlayStation 3]] console.{{Citation needed|date=September 2022}}
