PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X: Camera Video Capture

Ajith Kumaresh

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM62X

Hi Team,

Does TI-AM62X starter kit support any hardware encoder to capture video recording from camera ?

I have integrated ar1335 (UYVY format) camera module on TI-AM62X starter kit and able to see the camera preview.

I want to record video using gstreamer commands.

Could you please point out the right way to capture video with maximum bandwidth ?

Regards,

Hi Ajith,

AM62x doesn't have a HW accelerator for video encode/decode.

AM62A family of processors have HW accelerator that support video encode and decode upto 4K@ 30fps.

If you are looking to encode then you would have to use the libav (ffmpeg) software codec gstreamer plugins on AM62x.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Suren

Hi Ajith,

Can you check the below command on your setup?

gst-inspect-1.0 | grep libav

If you find the avdec_<codecs> or avenc_<codecs> as the output of the command, then ffmpeg libav codec plugins are part of the SDK release.

You can use them and create gstreamer pipelines to verify software based encoding/decoding.

Best Regards,

Suren
