Could someone provide some guidance on using the 4k camera with the Radxa 5C to record video? I installed ffmpeg-rockchip and am running the debian cli image provided by Radxa from the downloads page for the 5C.
ubuntu-rockchip with kernel v5.10 works, I’ve also tested it on rock 5b+ with kernel v6.1 and compiled mpp with the instructions from ffmpeg-rockchip and that works as well. It would be nice if Radxa included this in their docs.
After further testing it seems there is still slight ghosting which distorts the image. I’ve tried it on 6.1, 5.10, on both 5c and 5b+. @radxa could you please provide some instructions for recording / streaming 4k30fps video with the 4k camera? Thank you.
That’s exactly the problem i had while trying to tune the IMX477.
This usually happens in indirect light conditions (indoors). I haven’t been able to fix this, there aren’t enough documents.
Most likely, your iqfile for IMX415 is mismatched.
I only got the camera just for testing to see if it could replace an IP camera and reduce costs, but it looks like it won’t work. I wonder if the issue is present with the rpi camera v2? I don’t have a cable to test so might have to order.
Not sure it helps, but i have Rock 5C lite with IMX415 that works perfectly, not a single issue (kernel 6.1). tested the rpi camera v2 as well, but nothing compares to the quality of Sony sensors in most cases.
And Rock 5C with IMX477, with occasional ghosting.
Custom image to suit my needs, not the official image.
i used both and some other means, this is not an issue of ffmpeg or gst. Unfortunately, i chose IMX477 for my Rock 5C (expecting great results but 10 fps is frustrating) and IMX415 for Rock 5C lite which is a tiny beast. I lost countless days/hours trying to figure that out and did not exchange the sensors between them, so i can’t tell you.
If i were you i would ask radxa for the hash of imx415 file and /usr/bin/rkaiq_3A_server and compare to yours.
