Integrate H264ENC into DVSDK with existing H264ENC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

Hello,

I have installed the DVSDK which already provides several codecs. One of them is H264ENC (for OMAP3530) which is limited to maximum resolution 352x288 pixel. Thus I downloaded an alternate codec (this one) which targets C64x+ devices and provides much higher resolutions including full HD.

Now, while integrating this codec into the DVSDK I hit a wall. This wiki page says, I need to copy this codec package into the Codec Server package. The codec packages folder is called "h264enc" and probably several declarations inside the codec as well. If I'm getting this right, the Codec Server directory is

<DVSDK_dir>/codecs-omap3530_4_00_00_00/packages/ti/sdo/codecs/ .

The problem is, that this directory already contains a codec package (directory) called "h264enc" which is the before mentioned low-resolution codec. So, how do I integrate the full HD encoder version into the DVSDK? I assume, simply deleting the low-res encoder folder will just mess things up.

Best regards,

Andreas

    3530 codec cannot do full HD, it can max do upto D1. I suggets you choose the right platform and DVSDK based on your needs. It wuld be difficlut for us to help on integrating any C4x based codec library in DVSK over e2e. I suggest you choose the DVSDK which has this reslution support.

    Hi Yashwant,

    thanks for replying. I'm not sure, I'm following you.

    The data sheet of the H.264 HD BP Encoder states, that it supports "arbitrary resolutions up to HD resolutions of 3480x2176 including standard image sizes such as PAL D1 [...]". The data sheet is based on the DM6446 as test platform, which has the same DSP as the OMAP3530. Could you elaborate, why this HD encoder would not work and what the limiting factors are (hardware, software, etc.) ?

    You also suggested to choose a DVSDK, that supports the desired resolution. But I can find only one DVSDK for the OMAP3530 platform. Can you point out, what DVSDK you are referring to?

    Thanks for your help.

    Andreas
