Hi
I know the i.MX93 doesn't have a hardware encoder or decoder.
I would like to know the H.264 software decoding and encoding capabilities of i.mx93 in a Linux environment.
My target is 720P60.
Is it possible?
Regards
Ken
Hi Kensu,
@kensu I have confirmed it for you that the i.MX93 cannot stably implement 720p60 H.264 software encoding and decoding.
For encode:
Software code 720p60 is almost impossible to implement.
For decode:The Cortex-A55 dual core can barely handle 720p60 H.264 decoding at high frequencies (~1.7GHz), but:
Need to use NEON optimized FFmpeg or GStreamer.
Very sensitive to video complexity (bitrate, profile).
In practical applications, it is easy to experience frame drops or lag, especially when the system has other tasks.
Do do not recommend to you use it.
If you really need realized the 720p60 encoding or decoding, you can consider the SoC supporting hardware encoding and decoding, such as i.MX8MP or i.MX8MQ.
Hope this can do help for you
Wish you have a nice day
Best Regards
Rita
