I believe the Orin Nano only has software encoding support with a 1080p option. In our case, there are six encoding operations occurring (3 RTMP streams + 3 recordings). The software encoder fails to handle this load. Is there a way to offload the encoding process to an attached external hardware component via UART, SPI, or I2C? Or is it possible to port the encoding process to a Jetson Nano?

Hello,

Thanks for visiting the NVIDIA Developer Forums.  
To ensure better visibility and support, I’ve moved your post to the Jetson category where it’s more appropriate

Cheers,  
Tom

Hi,  
Jetson Nano may not be able to achieve 6x 1080p30. Would suggest use TX2 NX, Xavier NX, or Orin NX. You can check module data sheet to get hardware capabiluty:
