V4L2 based video scale down application for imx6q

[jemish_1990]

Hi All,

We have two requirements.

1. Is it possible to capture custom resolutions  (example : 480x 272 ) by imx6q?

2. In second requirement we are able to capture NTSC (720 X 480) video in imx6q . Now is there any v4l2 based application available to scale down video to custom resolution (example 480x272).

Please let me know if any of the option is possible.

Thanks,

Jemish

Hi Igor,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion!

We made it working as of now by doing few changes in sample application we were using.

We can close this thread as of now. If needed I will open new thread.

Once again thank a lot for your suggestions.

Thanks,

Jemish

Hi Igor,

One quick question if I am using

Below API for scale down.

VIDIOC_S_CROP

How can we confirm whether it is using hw scaler (IPU) or ARM cpu?

Thanks,

Hi Jemish

one can look at attached Linux Manual sect.9.2 V4L2 Capture Device

shows used VIDIOC.
