it has no DSP.

the arm itself should be OK for SD sized video, BUT since the CPU on
the bone has no DSS, video needs to be converted to RGB and maybe
composed with UI, so that will also take significant CPU power.

Maybe you can run color conversion and composition using the SGX

Definitely you can run color conversion without any overhead - and also dynamic RGB textures using SGX.

Both Qt classes for this purpose, and standalone C++ libraries that wrap this functionality, are discussed in below blog post.
