performance of video encoding on the AM3505

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM3505

Hi,

for a new product I developed a video application on the OMAP 3530. It receives images from the ISP, encodes them in JPEG format and finally streams the video through USB. We are thinking about switching to the new AM3505 due to its 16bit camera interface and using ffmpeg library for video compression. But I don't know if the Cortex-A8 core can handle jpeg compression at 720p30 without the help of a DSP.

I appreciate any feedback regarding the performance of picture or video compression code running on Cortex-A8 only.

Cheers,

Sebastian

  • This would be close, I have not seen someone use a HD JPEG codec on the Cortex-A8 only, though I would not be surprised if it was possible. You may want to look into some third party optimized codec options, such as Ittiam (whom has an optimized JPEG encoder), though I have not seen their performance benchmarks.
