i.MX6 VPU encoder feature

[torus1000]

Hi Chip Experts,

I think typical surveillance IP camera today supports 1080p30+D1 of h264@BP encoding.
So I want to confirm i.MX6S VPU H264 encoder features.
Compared to the i.MX6SDL RM Rev1 and Rev2, VPU feature updated as following.

Rev1: It can also perform H.264 BP/CBP, ... encoding up to @30fps.
          VPU can support encode or decode multiple video clips with multiple standards simultaneously.

Rev2: The supported resolution is up to ... full-HD 1920x1088@30fps for encoding ...
          VPU can support ...and also support multiple decoding and ...

(Q) Can i.MX6S VPU support multiple H264 encoding?
(Q) If yes, can i.MX6S VPU support 1920x1088@30fps plus D1@30fps H264 encoding?
(Q) Can i.MX6DLor6Q VPU support 1920x1088@30fps plus D1@30fps H264 encoding?

Thanks

The VPU of the i.MX6 can decode two streams of 1080p@30 for MPEG4 / H.264.

  The VPU of the i.MX6 can encode single stream of 1080p@30 for MPEG4 / H.264.

  The VPU of the i.MX6 can decode four streams of 720p@30 for MPEG4 / H.264.

  The VPU of the i.MX6 can encode three streams of 720p@30 for MPEG4 / H.264.

We cannot guarantee 1920x1088@30fps plus D1@30fps H264 encoding.

Have a great day,
Yuri
