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 

Lists all available i.MX6 specific elements:

$ gst-inspect | grep imx

For example:

root@var-som-mx6:~#  gst-inspect | grep imx
mp3enc.imx:  mfw_mp3encoder: mp3 audio encoder
v4lsink.imx:  imxv4l2sink: v4l2 video sink
isink.imx:  mfw_isink: IPU-based video sink
aiur.imx: webm: webm
aiur.imx:  aiurdemux: aiur universal demuxer
tvsrc.imx:  tvsrc: v4l2 based tv src
v4lsrc.imx:  imxv4l2src: v4l2 based camera src
audiopeq.imx:  mfw_audio_pp: audio post equalizer
beep.imx: ac3: ac3
beep.imx: 3ca: ac3
beep.imx:  beepdec: beep audio decoder
beep.imx:  beepdec.vorbis: Vorbis decoder
beep.imx:  beepdec.mp3: MP3 decoder
beep.imx:  beepdec.aac: AAC LC decoder
amrdec.imx:  mfw_amrdecoder: amr audio decoder
vpu.imx:  vpudec: VPU-based video decoder
vpu.imx:  vpuenc: VPU-based video encoder
ipucsc.imx:  mfw_ipucsc: IPU-based video converter

Detailed help information on a specific element:

$ gst-inspect imxv4l2sink

For example:

root@var-som-mx6:~# gst-inspect imxv4l2sink

gst-launch

For Example launch the camera and display on the monitor:

gst-launch -v videotestsrc ! imxv4l2sink

i.MX6 major elements

Prefix
Element Name
description
mp3enc.imx mfw_mp3encoder mp3 audio encoder
v4lsink.imx imxv4l2sink v4l2 video sink
isink.imx mfw_isink IPU-based video sink
v4lsrc.imx imxv4l2src v4l2 based camera src
vpu.imx vpudec VPU-based video decoder
vpu.imx vpuenc VPU-based video encoder
ipucsc.imx mfw_ipucsc IPU-based video converter

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 -v videotestsrc ! imxv4l2sink

Gst1.jpg

Test pattern with specific paramters on the input element

$ gst-launch videotestsrc pattern=circular ! imxv4l2sink

Gst2.jpg

Test pattern with specific paramters on the output element

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

Test pattern with specific paramters on the input and output elements

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

Camera Loopback

Stream video from a camera to a display

$ gst-launch imxv4l2src device=/dev/video0 capture-mode=4 fps-n=30 queue-size=7 ! queue max-size-buffers=3 ! imxv4l2sink  disp-width=1280 disp-height=720
capture-mode ov5460 options:
ov5640_mode_VGA_640_480 = 0,
ov5640_mode_QVGA_320_240 = 1,
ov5640_mode_NTSC_720_480 = 2,
ov5640_mode_PAL_720_576 = 3,
ov5640_mode_720P_1280_720 = 4,
ov5640_mode_1080P_1920_1080 = 5

This is a 3 elements pipe,the queue in the middle is a GStreamer element.

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
