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:
$ gst-inspect-1.0 imxv4l2sink

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
Test pattern with specific paramters on the input element
$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=circular ! imxv4l2sink
Test pattern with specific paramters on the output element
$ gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc ! imxv4l2sink overlay-width=1280 overlay-height=720
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 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)UYVY,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=(fraction)30/1'! imxv4l2sink overlay-width=1920 overlay-height=1080
ov5640 supported resolutions:
- width=640,height=480,
- width=320,height=240,
- width=720,height=480,
- width=720,height=576,
- width=1280,height=720
- width=1920,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 caps filter 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.
Video Encode
Encode video from a camera into a file.
720p:
$ gst-launch imxv4l2src capture-mode=4 fps-n=30 ! queue ! vpuenc codec=6 ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test.avi
1080p:
$ gst-launch imxv4l2src capture-mode=5 fps-n=30 ! queue ! vpuenc codec=6 ! matroskamux ! filesink location=test.avi
- The codec type for encoding
- flags: readable, writable
- Enum "vpuenc_codec" Default: 0, "mpeg4"
- (0): mpeg4 - video/mpeg,
- (5): h263 - video/x-h263
- (6): avc - video/x-h264
- (12): mjpg - image/jpeg
Simple Movie Play
$ gst-launch playbin2 uri=file:/run/media/sda1/big_buck_bunny.mp4
