Does Jetson Nano support hardware encoding (NVENC) in DeepStream 7.1?

Hello,

I want to confirm hardware encoding support on the Jetson Nano.

I am testing DeepStream 7.1 and want to know whether the Jetson Nano should support NVENC hardware encoding and whether the following GStreamer encoder elements should be available:

nvv4l2h264enc
nvv4l2h265enc

When I run:

gst-inspect-1.0 nvv4l2h264enc
gst-inspect-1.0 nvv4l2h265enc

I get “No such element”, so DeepStream falls back to software encoding (x264enc).

My questions:

  1. Does Jetson Nano support hardware video encoding (NVENC)?

  2. Should these encoder elements be present in DeepStream 7.1?

  3. If they are missing, is this expected or is it a configuration issue in the Docker image?

Thank you.

The Jetson Nano and Orin Nano are different devices. The Jetson Nano support hareware encoder , but only Jetpack 4.6/DeepStream 6.0 is supported at most.

Your previous post mentioned that you were using Orin Nano. Orin Nano does not include a hardware encoder. Orin Nano can support Jetpack 6.2 and DeepStream 7.1, but these encoder elements do not present in host or docker images.

This is jetson nano specifications.

So please ensure your device model.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore. Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one. Thanks.
