How can imx.6 VPU _encode_ 1080i?

[josepholivier]

I have been using the imx6 to generate video frames which get fed to a gstreamer pipeline and eventually out to an MPEG2TS over IP. My gstreamer pipeline looks approximately like:

appsrc -> mfw_ipucsc (rgb565 -> yuv) -> vpuenc (h264 mode) -> mpegtsmux -> appsink

I am currently generating 720p frames at 24fps and interested in generating a 1080i stream. How might I go about doing that? Can the vpuenc handle the interlacing?

The VPU does not support interlaced frames  directly, the VDIC may be used for de-interlacing.

Have a great day,
Yuri
