Would the Jetson Nano VPU be fit for our project

Hi,
It does not add filler data. Since gst-v4l2 package is open source, you can download the source code and add it. Please download the package:

We have seen limitation that it cannot go lower than 1.5Mbps for 1080p30:

Constant Bitrate help

Hi x1tester62, I think you are right. 1.5mbps can be the lowest bitrate for high motion case of 1080p30. In general, the bitrate is suggested to be ~10mbps for 1080p30 to get good quality. If all frames are quantized at 50 and it still cannot go below 1.5mbps, it hits the compression limit. For getting lower bitrate, we have to drop frames. Please try gst-launch-1.0 nvcamerasrc num-buffers=300 ! ‘video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1,format=I420’ ! omxh264enc bitrate…

So for certain cases, it may not be able to go down to 200kbps.
