how to stream with DM8168 ?

hello,

i am working on the DM8168 EVM with the latest ti ezsdk (dm816x-evm_5_01_01_80) 

my mission is to stream H.264 video file that store in the SD card through the network (by using RTSP or UDP)

my questions is:

1. how do i install the necessary codecs for Dm816X form http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/codecs/HDVICP2/index_FDS.html

2. how can i use TI GStreamer on the Dm816x (i didn't  find any TI GStreamer plugins for DM816X) ?

3. i didn't find the DMAI in the SDK ?

4. can i use another open source library for streaming on the Dm8168 (with or without OpenMax support) ?

thanks,

Eran

  • Hi Eran,

    1. how do i install the necessary codecs for Dm816X form http://software-dl.ti.com/dsps/dsps_public_sw/codecs/HDVICP2/index_FDS.html

    Codecs are part of Media Controller firmware binaries, so there is no aditional codec package in the package. Currently H264 encoder and decoders are supported.

    2. how can i use TI GStreamer on the Dm816x (i didn't  find any TI GStreamer plugins for DM816X) ?

    Gstreamer on DM8168 would be available in 4Q2011. Since SDK on DM8168 supports OpenMax APIs, gst-open plugIns would be required for Gstreamer.

    3. i didn't find the DMAI in the SDK ?

    In the DM8168 SDK, since we are supporting OpenMax APIs, application is being written using Integration layer ( IL) client. DMAI is not used.

    4. can i use another open source library for streaming on the Dm8168 (with or without OpenMax support) ?

    If you are not using media controller, you can read SD card on A8 processor and stream it with any other software ( on linux, as A8 is running Linux in SDK).

  • Hi,

    I just received my DM8168 based EVM from spectrum digital.

    I have 2 of these EVM modules and want to try following two cases for streaming the video over network.

     

    case 1: stream an h.264(720p or 1080p)  video from a desktop PC using VLC over multicast ip using RTP.

                   This streamed video should be received by Netra EVM through network from a multicast IP, decode and display this stream through its DVO.

     

    case 2:  Netra EVM-1 should capture 1080p or 720p@60fps video from a PC through its HDMI IN-2 connector and encode the captured HD content to H.264 format and     stream this content to a Multicast IP over RTP.

                    Netra EVM-2 should capture this network stream from EVM-1, decode and display this captured content through its DVO

     

    for both the use cases, I need an IL_client but i couldn't find any network streaming related open_max example in EZSDK_ver_80.

    can someone help me with the needed il_client or some info to demonstrate this use case?

     

    Br,

    Albert.
