[AAC Company Private] gstreamer copy h-264 camera output to network

[Kozikowski, Mark]

Designation: AAC Company Private

Thanks, Olivier,

My criteria right now is low latency, low cpu usage, I’m running on raspberry pi4.
Dropping frames is marginally acceptable. I’m looking for about 15 frames a second.

I have no tolerance for accumulating latency on the receiving side.

My camera has raw output and H-264 output.
I would like to just forward the H-264 without transcoding, over the network to another node.

That’s about it for my requirements.
I could not find any way to just push the /dev/videoX.h264 onto the network.

Thanks again for any help you can provide.

Mark

Hi, GStreamer is definitely suited to do this, we have elements for many kinds of streaming protocols. The details of how you stream the data really depends on what your goals are and what is on the other side. What kind of latency do you target?

Hi,

GStreamer is definitely suited to do this, we have elements for many kinds of streaming protocols. The details of how you stream the data really depends on what your goals are and what is on the other side.

What kind of latency do you target? How much do you tolerate dropping data to preserve a lower latency? Do you need to preserve timing information? Etc.

Hello all,

I’m not sure that this is possible with gstreamer, or if it better suited to another infrastructure.

I’m looking to forward the h-264 output of a USB camera to the network without any transcoding.
As the output is already in h-264 format, can I just copy that to UDP or TCP network for use on another device?

Thanks for any help,


Mark
