AM3352: 1080p30 video playback

Part Number: AM3352
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AM5708

Hi champs !

I'm following up the thread https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/p/794448/2960719#2960719  on which we came out with the conclusion that AM3352 is suitable to show video 1920x1080 30fps 24bpp .

Following your suggestion I tested this on a BBB using Video found on the Internet ( almost MP4 ) .

Results are not so encuraging, MPU is overloaded because of  MP4 deconding and Color Spase conversion ( YUV to RGB )  , audio decoding  consume MIPS as well .

This is limiting the max peformances I personally achieved to 1280x720 24fps with audio glitches  with a MP4 video .

I'm using mplayer  on latest BBB image :

mplayer -ao alsa -vo fbdev2 -cache 8192 -zoom -x 1280 -y 720 1280.mp4

Of course I tested  different video with different coding, I tried as well to convert the video i a raw-rgb using :

ffmpeg -i input.ext -vcodec rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24 -an output.rgb

but the output file is so big that needs Storage well larger than what suitable for the application.

QUESTIONS for you :

- Is there any suggested video format to be used to let AM3352 to smoothly play a video 1080p ? if yes can you support me converting the video I do have using ffmpeg ?

- if AM335x is not suitable because of decoding and color translation effort, what could be the best SITARA option then ?

Thank you,

Paolo
