maximum FPS when encoding

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2
#1

The nvcamerasrc sets the maximum framerate at 120. We want to test the maximum FPS per second H.264 encoding that the TX2 is capable of. Is there a method for going above 120 FPS ?
Thanks,

Hi kunice, the cap is removed in next release.

Could you feed a raw file in instead of a camera capture? A raw file pre-loaded into memory would make sure you’re not limited on anything else.

DaneLLL Thanks for the response

snarky, Thanks I will try that.

Its interesting. I use the following encode:
gst-launch-1.0 nvcamerasrc fpsRange=“120.0 120.0” intent=3 ! nvvidconv flip-method=2 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)1920, height=(int)1280, format=(string)I420, framerate=(fraction)120/1’ ! omxh265enc control-rate=2 bitrate=10000000 ! ‘video/x-h265, stream-format=(string)byte-stream, framerate=(fraction)120/1’ ! h265parse ! rtph265pay mtu=1400 ! udpsink host=$CLIENT_IP port=5000 sync=false async=false

Then i use this decode:

gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=5000 ! application/x-rtp,encoding-name=H265,payload=96 ! rtph265depay ! h265parse ! omxh265dec ! nvoverlaysink sync=false async=false -e

While the decoder is running, it keeps printing out '30.xxxxx FPS", so how does one get more than 30 FPS… or am i missing something?

Hi kunice, what is the camera source? Does it support 1080p120?

DaneLLL,

I am using the standard Tegra X2 Jetson evaluation board with the onboard camera that comes with the evaluation system. I use nvcamerasrc as the video input (see first post comment).

Hey Snarky,

I decided to try encoding a raw file with this command:

  • CLIENT_IP=127.0.0.1

  • gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/home/nvidia/KristenAndSara_1280x720_60.y4m ! y4mdec ! nvvidconv ! video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), height=(int)720, width=(int)1280, format=I420 ! omxh265enc control-rate=2 bitrate=10000000 ! video/x-h265, stream-format=(string)byte-stream, framerate=(fraction)120/1 ! h265parse ! rtph265pay mtu=1400 ! udpsink host=127.0.0.1 port=5000 sync=false async=false

Okay got it working, but I am unable to up the framerate above 60 FPS (what is in the file). So how do I setup a file as input and have an arbitrary framerate through the pipeline?

Hi kunice, we are not sure how y4m works. Other user can share experience.

Here is a post about 240fps on TX1:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1006894/jetson-tx1/nvcamerasrc-gst-plugin-frame-rate-limitation/post/5154382/#5154382
It should also work fine on TX2.

#10

I just I reach 8fps with the tx2 board camera ,but my last tx2 board can only reach 5fps,It’s odd
