mix two video sources into one (side-by-side)

[vishvapathi]

Hi All,

I am working on Displaying/streaming 2 UVC CAM's simultaneously. Below Command

gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=320, height=240 ! videobox border-alpha=0 left=-320 ! videomixer name=mix ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink v4l2src device=/dev/video2 ! videoscale ! ffmpegcolorspace ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=320, height=240 ! videobox right=-320 ! mix.

Out of 2, /dev/video1 streams data but the second CAM /dev/video2 is ON after the command, but in my Display its pitch black.

Is this the correct way to stream multiple cams??

Kindly advice

The Position of Displaying was wrong i guess.. after correcting it i am able to view both Camera streaming.

If you are using i.MX6 you should try the mfw_isink element. This element will do the scaling and positioning in hardware and save you a lot of CPU power. You can run 2 separate gstreamer pipelines each playing in a different position on the screen. Please see this post for how to use it.

Hope that helps.

I have never worked with videomixer before.

I think this kind of question is better replied in gstreamer community. Did you subscribe to gstreamer mailing list?

No, I haven't...
