TMS320DM8168: HDVPSS TO HDVICP2 how to send video data to encode / Decode video?

Hello,

What is the software release that you are using here? I will give you an example in case if you are using EZSDK:
-OMX
In case that you are using OMX there is an Capture -> encode example. This example uses four OMX components VENC, VFPC, VFDC, VFCC for creating a simple application, which can capture and encode it to an H264 elementary stream and also display it. In this application, capture component which is running on HDVPSS part of media controller captures the 1080p60 input from TVP7002 decoder on Catalog EIO board. This data is fed to DEI component, which produces two outputs. One output is given to display component while other is fed to encoder component running on HDVICP2. Since capture is being done with 420 progressive formats, DEI algorithm is not turned ON. For interlace capture, DEI can be used for de-interlacing. This application takes width, height, frame rate, bitrate and file name as input argument. By default display is on on-chip HDMI port. Encoder bit rate can be varied through arguments passed in the application. More parameters for encoding can be changed in IL client though OMX APIs. You could refer OMX user guide under OMX folder for more details.
Please notice that the capture is from TVP7002.
In additional here is the link to the OMX capture->encode->decode->display: processors.wiki.ti.com/.../Latency_Measurement_on_Capture_Encode_Decode_Display_Demo


-GStreamer
In EZSDK there is and gstreamer. You could capture by using v4l2src->encode->networkstreaming(udpsink for exmaple) and same time you could decode and display. In gstreamer there are elements that are called muxer which allows you to mux the elementry stream into container like ts, mp4, mov etc before to stream it over the network also. You also may use gstreamer to receive the stream from network and decode it for example.
But before to use the gstreamer I would recommend you to verify the v4l2 capture with demo like SaLoopBack (this demo is in EZSDK also).

Again the capture is through tvp7002 but in v4l2 case you could add external decode by following this guide:
processors.wiki.ti.com/.../DM81xx_AM38xx_Adding_External_Decoders_to_V4L2_Capture_Driver

This information is for EZSDK .
I can not comment DVRRDK and IPNC softwares.

I strongly recommend you to check this thread:
