Regarding Image Overlay

[shilpac]

Hi,

Set up details

*     Processor: IMX6Q

*     Build: Yocto 1.4 (Branch: Dylan)

*     Open source multimedia framework: GStreamer-0.10  for decode process.

The requirement is to add an image overlay to mp4 Video file. Using Gstreamer pipelines I could add an image overlay on a video and I observed the CPU usage shooting up to 120%. CPU utilization is verified using atop command. Without image overlay CPU utilization was 1%.

I would like to know can we accelerated the same using hardware and whether the same can be done using IPU ?

Thanks,

Shilpa

this test is described in sect.6.4.2 "Video4Linux API test"

and sect.6.4.3 "IPU Device Unit test"
