Radxa 8m 219 gstreamer resolution

#1

Im using a Radxa Zero 3w with a Radxa 8m 219 camera attached.

Overlay for 8m is enabled.

If i use the test cmd

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src num-buffers=512 device=/dev/video0 io-mode=4 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=NV12, width=1920, height=1080, framerate=30/1 ! tee name=t ! queue ! mpph264enc ! queue ! h264parse ! mpegtsmux ! filesink location=/home/radxa/file.name.mp4

I get a video saved .

If i try to get 4k output ( as advertised by Radxa ) with

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src num-buffers=512 device=/dev/video0 io-mode=4 ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=NV12, width=3820, height=2464, framerate=30/1 ! tee name=t ! queue ! mpph264enc ! queue ! h264parse ! mpegtsmux ! filesink location=/home/radxa/file.name.mp4

I get

Setting pipeline to PLAYING …
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal data stream error.
New clock: GstSystemClock
Additional debug info:
…/libs/gst/base/gstbasesrc.c(3127): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Can you post a download link for the software you are using?

You could try changing the width=3820, height=2464 parameter in the command to width=3840, height=2160 and see if you still have problems!

I’m testing with ffmpeg to youtube

ffmpeg -re -f v4l2 -video_size 384
0x2160 -i /dev/video0 -c:v h264 -preset veryfast -b:v 8000k -maxrate 8000k -bufsize 16000k -
rc_mode 0 -level 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p -f flv “rtmp://a.rtmp.youtube.com/live2/…”

gives me about 0.2 fps

If i use your suggested resolution it hangs here, 4k will continue…

@Mitchell , through further experimentation I have found that 4k will only give me 15fps, if I follow this tutorial

https://docs.radxa.com/en/zero/zero3/app-development/rtsp?target=ffmpeg

and drop the input resolution to 1920x1080 ffmpeg tells me i get 30 / 60 fps depending on what my ouput fps is set to .

Thanks

Hi, I think you are not using the GPU encoder.
You should check wich ones have hardware accel.
mpph264enc dont have

#6

@fdalto, you may well be right . I thought the mpp encoders used hardware. I’ll look further into it. Thank you.

ffmpeg HW Encoders:

 V..... h264_rkmpp           Rockchip MPP (Media Process Platform) H264 encoder (codec h264)
 V..... hevc_rkmpp           Rockchip MPP (Media Process Platform) HEVC encoder (codec hevc)
 V..... mjpeg_rkmpp          Rockchip MPP (Media Process Platform) MJPEG encoder (codec mjpeg)

I also added -hwaccel rkmpp before my camera input to use hardencoder there as well.

#9

Have you tried to run apt update && apt upgrade ? Radxa released new IQ files in the beginning of September and they contain 4k resolution. The previous version didn’t contain it so 4k didn’t work.

#10

Hi, can you help me with Radxa 3W mpp && rockchip media please? What is OS version for Radxa are you using? I’m starting with Debian last release and it have not support of mpph264enc.
