Hi, could I clarify the supported decoder output format onboard Orin & Thor? Is the output format only YUV420P due to hardware limitation? Will this be changed in future hardware changes (i.e. Thor) to support other formats like BGR?

Thanks!

Dear @samuel.ongzx,
Are you asking the supported output formats of nvm_ide_sci? IDE supported output format is YUV 420 for all codecs. Thor supports 422 format as well for HEVC .

Also, Did you see Image JPEG Decode (IJPD) | NVIDIA Docs ?

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV,

Are you asking the supported output formats of nvm_ide_sci ?

Yeap! We are planning to use BGR downstream and was hoping that the IDE decoder can just output BGR directly instead of YUV. Is YUV output only possible for the IDE decoder a hardware limitation?

Thor supports 422 format as well for HEVC

Thanks! This is good information to know!

Also, Did you see Image JPEG Decode (IJPD) | NVIDIA Docs ?

Yeap, but I don’t believe I would be able to use JPEG decoding (with JPEG codec engine) since my video stream is in HEVC, but please correct me if i’m mistaken. Also, the decoded output from IDE decoder is not in jpeg format, so I can’t feed it in the IJPG to have it convert to BGR either.

Yes. it is HW limitation
