}

getScreenInfo(mScreenWidth, mScreenHeight, mBpp);
mNvOsdCtx = nvosd_create_context();
mRenderer = NvEglRenderer::createEglRenderer(“renderer0”, mScreenWidth, mScreenHeight, 0, 0);
if (!mRenderer) {
LOGERR(TAG, “Failed to create EGL renderer”);
rval = -1;
} else {
mRenderer->setFPS(50 /* mRenderFps */);
}
