hello 1075471989,

I rarely using `nvdrmvideosink`, you may try adding `nvvidconv` for converting the formats for testing.  
for example,  
`$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1080, format=(string)NV12, framerate=(fraction)30/1' nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=(string)I420' ! queue ! nvdrmvideosink -e`

you may see-also [Topic 140648](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/displaying-to-the-screen-with-opencv-and-gstreamer/140648/9) for samples using `cv2.VideoCapture`
