I have 4 USB cameras with FullHD@30 MJPEG streams. When I am trying to display videos from all of them simultaneously I have problems, they drop too many frames. I guess that it may be a problem with bandwidth of USB Hub, but according to specification it’s rather fast.

The output of lsusb -t

Hi,
Please refer to the steps in Jetson AGX Orin FAQ

Q: I have a USB camera. How can I launch it on Jetson Nano?

To launch the cameras in gst-launch-1.0 commands. And the please use fpsdisplaysink to print out the frame rate:

... ! fpsdisplaysink text-overlay=0 video-sink=fakesink sync=0 -v

And try 2 sources, 3 sources, 4 sources to check the frame rate. Would like to know how many sources are launched when the issue occurs.
