imxv4l2src & videomixer

[erikraynolds]

Dears,

I'd like "mix" side by side 2 webcams.

I did try:

gst-launch-1.0 -e videomixer name=mix ! autovideosink \

videotestsrc ! video/x-raw, framerate=10/1, width=640, height=360 ! mix.sink_0 \

videotestsrc pattern="snow" ! video/x-raw, framerate=10/1, width=200, height=150 ! mix.sink_1

it works.

Now I want 2 (multiple cams) side by side or kind of grid for more than 2 cams.

I did try it and got:

root@imx6qpsabreauto:~# gst-launch-1.0 -e videomixer name=mix \

>     ! autovideosink \

>     imxv4l2src device=/dev/video0\

>             ! video/x-raw, framerate=10/1, width=640, height=360 \

>             ! mix.sink_0 \

>     imxv4l2src device=/dev/video1 \

>             ! video/x-raw, framerate=10/1, width=200, height=150 \

>             ! mix.sink_1

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: could not link imxv4l2src0 to mix

Can you please advice how to build such pipeline to have side by side multiple cams?

How to setup pipeline to overlay multiple cams (picture-in-picture)?

Thank you.

Hello,

  The simplest way to get overlay under Linux - using overlaysink plugin, as described in
section  7.5 (Overlaysink usage) of “i.MX_Linux_User's_Guide.pdf” :

“The overlaysink plugin is based on the GPU. It provides two main functions for video rendering:

• Video Overlay: composites multiple video playbacks into the same display.

• Multiple Display: shows videos to multiple displays, up to four displays.”

Please refer to section 7.3.1.6.3 (Multiple videos overlay) for example.

Have a great day,

I did use example from documentation... 7.3.1.6.3 Multiple videos overlay

gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:video0.mp4

    video-sink="overlaysink overlay-width=512 overlay-height=384"

    playbin uri=file:video1.mp4 flags=0x41

    video-sink="overlaysink overlay-left=512 overlay-width=512 overlay-height=384"

    playbin uri=file:video2.mp4 flags=0x41

    video-sink="overlaysink overlay-top=384 overlay-width=512 overlay-height=384"

    playbin uri=file:video3.mp4 flags=0x41

    video-sink="overlaysink overlay-left=512 overlay-top=384 overlay-width=512

    overlay-height=384"

    playbin uri=file:video0.mp4 flags=0x41

    video-sink="overlaysink overlay-left=352 overlay-top=264 overlay-width=320

    overlay-height=240 zorder=1"

and I'm getting this

root@imx6qpsabreauto:~/gst_overlay# ./gst_overlay
