Getting half the FPS when running 2 RTSP camera on Xavier NX

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Xavier NX

Setup -

  • Jetson Xavier NX Module
  • Jetpack 4.4.x
  • Deepstream 5.0 + Deepstream Python Binding
  • RTSP Camera via network

Using Deepstream Python Test 3 as an example, I tried to run 2 streams from RTSP cameras. And compared to the 1 camera setup, the FPS was halved exactly.

I was curious if this is an expected behavior or if I missed a step somewhere. Based on examples I have seen on the NVIDIA’s website and the Test 1, it seemed like NX had no problem processing multiple streams.

I am attaching 2 logs that I exported when they were starting. If any feedback can be shared, it would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,
Please run sudo tegrastats and attach the result for reference. Check if GPU loading is at ~100%.

Later today, I will run the process with 2 cameras attach and check using
sudo tegrastats
And report the result back here. Thanks for the quick response

Thanks again for the quick response.

I tried it and it seems to work fine. i think it may been the clock mode. I am running on 15W 6 Core now. Another issue popped up though.

For dev kit, I was able to successfully run it with no performance degradation.
However, using the production setting as mentioned below, I am getting the silent failure -

  • Jetson Xavier NX SoM
  • Jetpack 4.4.x
  • CTI Quark Carrier board
  • CTI (ConnectTech) BSP and Deepstream SDK installed on MicroSD card
  • Deepstream 5.0 + Deepstream Python Binding
  • RTSP Camera via network
  • AWS Greengrass SDK

This carrier board is a headless board. I have it connected via UART connector to see output, and I run the deepstream-test3 (Python). I also connected to it using SSH to run the script.

It seems to load fine but then it silently fails and i noticed that the board restarts (based on the output from UART). I am attaching the log from the app.

Would you be able to share some feedback on why this may be happening? Or would you have any pointer on how I can get better logs?

Thanks!

Hi,
By default it is nveglglessink in deepstream-test3. If your board does not have display port,you may change to fakesink and try.
