VAR-SOM-MX6 - Streaming Video

Under construction!!!

Stream Camera with imxcamera application

On your host machine install Video Lan VLC VideoLan

  • Find out your host IP address (Windows:ipconfig, Linux:ifconfig)
  • Start VLC, Media->Open Network Stream. Set the URL to "rtp://@:5004" and press "Play".
  • On target, start the imxcamera application.
    • Press the Settings button. Select "Enable RTP" box and set the IP to you host machine. Press OK.
    • Press the Camera button to get a Video camera Image.
    • Press the blue button and the camera will be streamed to you host VLC.

Introduction to GStreamer

GStreamer
GStreamer is a powerful pipeline-based multimedia framework.
GStreamer allows a programmer to create a variety of media-handling components, including simple audio playback, audio and video playback, recording, streaming and editing. This is not a GStreamer reference manual but an overview for using it on Variscite i.MX6 products.

Major GStreamer commands

There are two major commands:
gst-inspect - allows you to to get documentation on available elements and detailed information on a specific element.
gst-launch - allows you to create and execute GStreamer pipelines.

gst-inspect

Lists all available elements:

$ gst-inspect-1.0 

Lists all available i.MX6 specific elements:

$ gst-inspect-1.0 | grep imx

For example:

root@var-som-mx6:~# gst-inspect-1.0 | grep imx
aiur.imx: webm: [Invalid UTF-8] 8\x91\xddq
aiur.imx:  aiurdemux: Aiur universal demuxer
vpu.imx:  vpuenc_h264: VPU-based AVC/H264 video encoder
vpu.imx:  vpuenc_mpeg4: VPU-based MPEG4 video encoder
vpu.imx:  vpuenc_h263: VPU-based H263 video encoder
vpu.imx:  vpuenc_jpeg: VPU-based JPEG video encoder
vpu.imx:  vpudec: VPU-based video decoder
overlaysink.imx:  overlaysink: IMX Video (video compositor) Sink
imxvideoconvert.imx:  imxvideoconvert_ipu: IMX ipu Video Converter
imxvideoconvert.imx:  imxvideoconvert_g2d: IMX g2d Video Converter
imxv4l2.imx:  imxv4l2sink: IMX Video (video4linux2) Sink
imxv4l2.imx:  imxv4l2src: IMX Video (video4linux2) Source
beep.imx: ac3: [Invalid UTF-8] 4J\xa0t
beep.imx: 3ca: [Invalid UTF-8] 4J\xa0t
beep.imx:  beepdec: Beep universal decoder
imxcompositor.imx:  imxcompositor_ipu: IMX ipu Video Compositor
imxcompositor.imx:  imxcompositor_g2d: IMX g2d Video Compositor
imxmp3enc.imx:  imxmp3enc: imx mp3 audio encoder

Detailed help information on a specific element:

Test Pattern Stream

Test pattern allows you to display pre build image/video patterns on the display. It is very useful when you don't have a camera but still want to test GStreamer.
Default test pattern:

$ gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc ! imxv4l2sink

Gst1.jpg

Test pattern with specific paramters on the input element

$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=circular ! imxv4l2sink

Gst2.jpg

Test pattern with specific paramters on the output element

$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! imxv4l2sink overlay-width=1280 overlay-height=720

Gst4.jpg

Test pattern with specific paramters on the input and output elements

$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=circular ! imxv4l2sink overlay-width=1280 overlay-height=720

Camera Loopback

Stream video from a camera to a display
Command:
gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src ! 'video/x-raw, format=(string)$FORMAT, width=$WIDTH, height=$HEIGHT, framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! imxv4l2sink
For example:

$ gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! 'video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=(fraction)30/1'! imxv4l2sink overlay-width=1920 overlay-height=1080

This is a 3 elements pipe,the element in the middle is a GStreamer capsfilter element.
Parameter comments:

• Get the camera support format and resolution using gst-inspect-1.0 imxv4l2src.
• Set capsfilter according to the camera's supported capabilities if the user needs other format or resolution.
• Ensure that the right caps filter has been set, which also needs to be supported by imxv4l2sink.

ov5640 example resolutions:

width=320,height=240
width=640,height=480
width=720,height=480
width=720,height=576
width=1280,height=720
width=1920,height=1080

Video Record

command:
gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=$DEVICE num-buffers=300 ! $INPUT_CAPS ! queue ! vpuenc_XXX ! $MUXER ! filesink location=output.$EXTENSION

Parameter comments:

• $DEVICE could be set to /dev/video, /dev/video0 or according to the system video input device.
• num-buffers - Number of buffers to output before sending EOS. deafult =-1 (unlimited)
• INPUT_CAPS should be set according to camera format and resolution
• vpuenc_XXX can be vpuenc_mpeg4,vpuenc_h263, vpuenc_h264, and vpuenc_jpeg
• MUXER can be set as to qtmux, matroskamux, mp4mux, avimux, or flvmux
• EXTENSION is filename extension according to the muxer type.


Record video from a camera into a file.
720p:

$ gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=300 ! 'video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=1280,height=720,framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! queue ! vpuenc_h264 ! avimux ! filesink location=test.avi

1080p:

$ gst-launch-1.0 imxv4l2src device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=300 ! 'video/x-raw,format=(string)I420,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=(fraction)30/1' ! queue ! vpuenc_h264 ! avimux ! filesink location=test.avi
