AM572x questions

Good Day, we are planning to use the Sitara AM572x in our developmnent and we have the following requirements:

1.Input Signals to Video Input Port are 8Bit parallel ITU-R BT656 equiv. with progressive/interlace and 16Bit parallel YCbCr 422 with embedded/separate sync. Is it possible to connect those Signals to the Video Input Port (VIP)? Is framerate conversion possible?

2.Can we encode/decode H.264 network streams with up to 1080p30? Is any licensing required for H.264 Codec?

3.We want to output Video via HDMI/VGA up to 1080p60. Is this possible? How can VGA output be achieved (external DAC, to which port connected)?

4. Recording to USB Stick or USB Harddrive with up to 1080p30. Is this possible?

5. Parallel streaming, USB Recording, HDMI and VGA output. Is this possible?

6.Can we develop for ARM Linux and DSP/PRU with Code Composer or do we need additional IDE?

Thanks for your help and have a nice day

    Hi,

    This depends on the USB stick you use, which would be the bandwidth bottle neck in this use case. This is feasible only if the encoded 1080p30 data rate is smaller than the USB stick write speed.

    Thanks for your help, how can recording be triggered? Is it an available API function in the linux sdk?

    8 bit BT.656 embedded sync input and 16 bit YCbCr 422 discrete sync signals is supported by VIP driver but the driver doesn't support YCbCr 422 embedded sync signals (supported by the hardware though).

    If you mean de-interlacer by framerate conversion, then deinterlacer is supported by VPE hardware accelerator on AM57x and not by VIP. There is no specific framerate conversion hardware accelerator on AM57x.

    Yes, that's possible. No licensing required for codec binaries available in PSDK. Licensing will be required to get the codec source code.

    Yes, that's possible. VGA output can be achieved by connecting right external DAC to LCD0/1/2 port.

    Both #4 and # 5 are possible.

    You should be good with CCS.
