v3 v4 43 43 44 44 45 This is only recommended if you require a deinterlacer to eliminate the effect of [wiki:Yocto/gstreamer/video#interlaced-video interlaced video effects] or requires a certain video format only this video sink can provide. To enable the deinterlacer set the deinterlace property to true. 46 47 48 The imxipuvideosink also supports vertical sync to eliminate [wiki:Yocto/gstreamer/video#tearing screen tearing]. To enable this set the {{{use-vsync}}} property to true. 45 This is only recommended if you require a deinterlacer to eliminate the effect of [wiki:Yocto/gstreamer/video#interlaced-video interlaced video effects] or requires a certain video format only this video sink can provide. 46 47 To enable the deinterlacer set the {{{deinterlace=true}}} property. 48 49 50 The imxipuvideosink also supports vertical sync to eliminate [wiki:Yocto/gstreamer/video#tearing screen tearing]. To enable this set the {{{use-vsync=true}}} property. 49 51 50 52 … … 55 57 This is recommended if resources are limited and you require offloading some processing to the PXP engine. 56 58 57 Enabling the {{{use-vsync}}} property is useful to prevent [wiki:Yocto/gstreamer/video#tearing screen tearing] in the video.59 Setting the {{{use-vsync=true}}} property is useful to prevent [wiki:Yocto/gstreamer/video#tearing screen tearing] in the video. 58 60 59 61 … … 210 212 === imxipuvideotransform === 211 213 This plugin can convert between input type RGB16, BGR, RGB, BGRx, BGRA, RGBx, RGBA, ABGR, UYVY, v308, NV12, YV12, I420, Y42B, Y444 to output type RGB16, BGR, RGB, BGRx, BGRA, RGBx, RGBA, ABGR, UYVY, v308, NV12, YV12, I420, Y42B, Y444 video formats. Further, this element can deinterlace video before sending a frame on, which can be very useful depending on your video types. 212 214 215 To enable deinterlacing set the {{{deinterlace=true}}} property on the element. 216 213 217 This is the recommended video transform, however please note that the IPU cannot accept non-standard video resolutions. 214 218 … … 253 257 Screen tearing occurs when the video output is not in sync with the display's refresh rate. The process of synchronizing the output to the refresh rate is also referred to as "vsync". 254 258 255 If the video frames are displayed directly on the framebuffer, this is easy to fix. The blitter-based video sinks ( = the IPU, G2D, PxP sinks) have a "use-vsync"property, which is set to false by default. If set to true, it reconfigures the framebuffer, enlarging its virtual height. It then performs page flipping during playback. The page flipping is synchronized to the display's refresh rate, eliminating the tearing effects. If {{{imxeglvivsink}}} is used, the {{{FB_MULTI_BUFFER}}} environment variable needs to be set to 2. This instructs the Vivante EGL libraries to set up the framebuffer in a way that is similar to what the blitter-based sinks do.259 If the video frames are displayed directly on the framebuffer, this is easy to fix. The blitter-based video sinks (the IPU, G2D, PxP sinks: {{{imxipuvideosink}}}, {{{imxg2dvideosink}}}, {{{imxpxpvideosink}}}) have a {{{use-vsync}}} property, which is set to false by default. If set to true, it reconfigures the framebuffer, enlarging its virtual height. It then performs page flipping during playback. The page flipping is synchronized to the display's refresh rate, eliminating the tearing effects. If {{{imxeglvivsink}}} is used, the {{{FB_MULTI_BUFFER}}} environment variable needs to be set to 2. This instructs the Vivante EGL libraries to set up the framebuffer in a way that is similar to what the blitter-based sinks do. 256 260 257 261 In X11, vsync is not doable from the gstreamer-imx side. It would require changes to the existing i.MX6 X11 driver. So far, no such change has been made, meaning that as of now, tearing-free video playback in X11 is not possible. … … 267 271 == Interlaced Video and Deinterlacing == 268 272 Interlaced video is a technique for doubling the perceived frame rate of a video display without consuming extra bandwidth. The interlaced signal contains two fields of a video frame captured at two different times. The alternative to interlaced video is called progressive video. 269 270 273 271 274 While reducing bandwidth this can cause a perceived flicker effect as well as a very apparent artifact seen during motion. For example a car moving horizontally across a scene will show every other vertical line differently: the second field interlaced with the first field will be a full frame period ahead in time from the other. The visual affect can be seen in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Interlaced_video_frame_(car_wheel).jpg this image from Wikipedia] … … 273 276 Television signals are typically interlaced, or at least were until recently. For example, analog television standards such as NTSC used in North America as well as the PAL and SECAM formats used abroad use interlaced video and therefore any analog video decoder such as the ADV7180 found on many Gateworks Ventana boards will capture interlaced video and are subject to interlacing artifacts. Interlaced video is still used in High Definition signals as well and the letter at the end of the format tells you if its interlaced (ie 480i, 720i, 1080i) or progressive (ie 480p, 720p, 1080p). 274 277 278 To use the IMX6 to deinterlace video you can use the {{{deinterlace=true}}} property of the {{{imxipuvideosink}}} or {{{imxipuvideotransform}}} elements. 275 279 276 280 References:
