KTV Demo

[#1]

The KTV Demo is a common user case for KTV OEM. In this charpter, we will see what it is and how to use it.

HW Platform

imx6qp-sabresd

SW Platform

3.14.52_1.0.0-ga, fb backend

Display Connection

LVDS0 XGA 1024*768 RGB666                          - IPU1 DI0

HDMI Display1920*1080@60                              - IPU0 DI1

HDMI Display1920*1080@56 via sii902x            - IPU0 DI0

LVDS1 XGA 1024*768 RGB666                          - IPU1 DI1

User case

The demo has following output:

Display #	UI	Video Stream	Output Resolution
DISP0-LVDS0	3D Cube@60fps	1920x1080@24fps (overlay)	XGA(1024x768,RGB666)
DISP1-HDMI	3D Cube@60fps	720p@20fps (overlay)	1080P@60(1920x1080,RGB24)
DISP2-SII902X	3D Cube@60fps	N/A	1080P@56(1920x1080,RGB24)
DISP3-LVDS1	N/A	720p@20fps	XGA(1024x768,RGB666)

The DISP0 and DISP1 has overlay framebufffer, so output UI to bottom framebuffer and output video stream to overlay framebuffer.

Run Demo

The customer can refer to following script:

#!/bin/sh
echo "KTV demo start!"
# Set environment variables
export FB_FRAMEBUFFER_0=/dev/fb0
export FB_FRAMEBUFFER_1=/dev/fb2
export FB_FRAMEBUFFER_2=/dev/fb4
export FB_FRAMEBUFFER_3=/dev/fb5
# Run cube on DISP0,DISP1, DISP3
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank
./cube display=0 &
sleep 1
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb2/blank
./cube display=1 &
sleep 1
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb4/blank
./cube display=2 &
echo "Open DISP0(LVDS0)"
gst-launch-1.0 playbin \
  uri=file:///home/root/ktv_demo/1080p_24fps.mp4 \
  video-sink="imxv4l2sink device=/dev/video17" &
sleep 3
echo "Open DISP1(HDMI)"
gst-launch-1.0 playbin \
  uri=file:///home/root/ktv_demo/720p_20fps.mp4 \
  video-sink="imxv4l2sink device=/dev/video19" &
#sleep 3
echo "Open DISP3(LVDS1)"
gst-launch-1.0 playbin \
  uri=file:///home/root/ktv_demo/720p_20fps.mp4 \
  video-sink="imxv4l2sink device=/dev/video21" &
sleep 3

VPU frequency

The vpu can run at 352MHz or  266MHz. We run it at 352MHz in this demo. The customer can configure the VPU frequcency from Linux kernel Kconfig options.

Performance

Utilization: 33%

Overall Bus Load: 71%

For 1080p@24fps, the real fps can only up to 13.319fps. The GPU may influence VPU performance.
