I’m testing nvenc on orin dev kit. The PSNR Y value seems never to exceed 35, and the output image looks visually darker than original image. How should I tune the nvv4l2h265enc encoder to reach at least 42 for PSNR Y? Thanks.
Resolution is 1080p. I tried 5 Mbps as well, and it’s only marginally better. Nvidia T4 GPU can reach PSNR Y 45.33 at 1.9 Mbps, while Orin is 34.28 at 1.9 Mbps and 34.44 at 5 Mbps.

Hi,
There’s difference in hardware between desktop GPUs and Jetson platforms. It is possible to see deviation. For 1080p, please try 10Mbps. And please try the case without encoding B frames.
Thanks, I’ll check 10 Mbps without B frame, but 10 Mbps does not fit my use case of low bandwidth and high quality video encoding. Is it the hardware issue or software config issue that the output image looks visually darker? Only the Y channel has the anomaly (washed out, low brightness, seems never to exceed 35) and U and V channels are fine.
Hi Dane, I can’t reproduce the low brightness issue on park joy or a few sequences in Xiph.org :: Derf's Test Media Collection. I’ll try to encode my source videos with x265enc to compare with nvv4l2h265enc.
