SK-AM62: SK-AM62 E3 revision board support HDMI 1080p?

Part Number: SK-AM62

Hi,

      Can you please tell the SK-AM62 evm E3  revision  board support HDMI 1080P video? Because we are running the below command to play the video both.

      gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=<VideoFileName> ! decodebin ! videoconvert ! fbdevsink

       Result:

       720P video playing is perfect

       1080P video playing stucks.

      Attached the video file playing in the SK-AM62 E3 revision board, Please check & support the issue to be resolve?

  • Hi Santhana,

    Can you try running the command with kmssink driver-name=tidss sync=false instead of fbdevsink 

    1080p should be able to be displayed, although on AM62x we don't have hardware accelerators like AM62A where we can use the VPU for H.264/H.265 encode/decode.

    On AM62x, decodebin will be using software based gstreamer plugins that may be not be optimized for better performance.

    Best Regards,

  • Sorry. Mistakenly marked the issue resolved. Still the issue is  not resolved.

    Running the below command to play the video, the actual video is 19 secs, but it's taking 40 seconds to completed the video playing.
    gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=Santa_Claus.mp4 ! decodebin ! videoconvert !  kmssink driver-name=tidss sync=false

  • As I mentioned earlier, AM62x uses software encoders and decoders and are not optimized for performance. 

    If you could attach the file that you are playing, I can have it verified on my setup early next week as I am on travel. Expect a response by early next week.

  • Hi,

      Attached the file of playing.

    Can you support quickly to resolve the issue? Need to confirm the 1080P supports in am62x evm E3 revsion board?

  • As I mentioned earlier, 1080p video playback is supported on AM62x, but with software based plugins and not hardware accelerators. So, we can't guarantee /optimize these open sourced plugins are written with performance in mind.

    What's your application on AM62x, if I may ask, if we can recommend you to use AM62A (This has hardware accelerator and supports upto 4k@30fps H.264/HEVC encoding/decoding)

  • Hi,

    Linux SDK is used on AM62x, we don't have AM62A board. Our requirement is to play 1080p video in the AM62x EVM board.

    We understood hardware accelerators doesn't support to play 1080p video on AM62x board but is it possible to play the 1080p video on AM62x through the software based plugins?

  • Yes it is possible to play 1080p video on AM62x
