AM625: Video encoding/decoding capabilities

Hello Vaibhav,

1) No, there is no dedicated hardware for video encode/decode available on AM625. In summary, you would need to use the ARM cores for encode/decode.

2/3) AM625 is capable of performing SW based encode/decode and your performance will be limited by the A53 cores. The AM625 SDK supports Gstreamer and it has ARM plugins for encode/decode. However, the plugins are designed by the open source community and I am not sure if they are optimized for performance. My recommendation would be to evaluate the open source plugins for encode/decode to understand their limitations. TI did not designed the plugins and we do not test their performance.

4/5) Please refer to point 2 and the limitations for simultaneous encode+decode will come from the ARM plugins.

Krunal

Hello Krunal,

Thanks for your guidance. 

Regarding Decoding:

Can you please let us know which LVDS display part Texas Instruments is using with AM62x starter kit (evaluation module)? if possible then please share all the available details of the LVDS display with me. 

Also let me know at what resolution and frame rate  LVDS display is validated with AM62x starter kit (evaluation module)? 

please let us know which ARM plugins for video decode is used by Texas Instruments with AM62x starter kit (evaluation module)? if possible then please share all the available details/files with me.
