PAL - resolution and framerate

ranchu
Guru 20755 points

Hello,

I'm using RDK 4.2.0.1 with DM8148.

I am trying to record camera PAL source with usecase for single channel.
The video is recorder OK except for the bottom lines which are cropped.
The following links is the recorded files, for the NTSC  source and PAL source. The SW (and usecase) did not change in between, i.e. I'm using same SW for both.
1. The recorded file for NTSC is cropping less lines in bottom, and is better in terms of unwanted cropped lines.
2. Another strange thing is that in vlc->tools->codec info it shows 720x480 , 30 fps for both videos, PAL and NTSC.
although the software uses the following:
 vencParams.encChannelParams[0].dynamicParam.frameRate = 25 * 1000;
ntsc video:

Thank you in advance,

    Are you using DVR RDK or IPNC RDK?

    Hi,

    I'm working with DVR RDK 4.1.0.2

    If I set

    capturePrm.isPalMode = Vcap_isPalMode();

    before System_linkCreate (gVcapModuleContext.captureId, &capturePrm, sizeof(capturePrm));

    I get the correct resolution of PAL.

    The video seems OK in all terms, though I still wander why I get in vlc->toold->codec info framerate of 30fps (instead of 25fps).
    Attached statistics for the PAL video.

    Thanks,
    Ran

    If your source is PAL then you should set capturePrm.isPalMode to TRUE else capture and rest of pipeline will get configured for NTSC.There is issue with codec frame rate setting as you mentioned. After encLink creation pls configure the Venc_setDynamicParam VENC_FRAMERATE and Venc_setCodecinputFps to PAL frame rate. It is preferable you apply patch mentioned in this post http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/717/p/316144/1102347.aspx#1102347

    which decouple encoder internal frame rate configuration from encLink input FPS. If merging patch is difficult you don't have to merge the patch. It doesn't affect functionality in PAL case
