Bring up Camera

TechNexion VizionViewer

VizionViewer™

Gstreamer

If you succeed in initialing the camera, you can follow the steps to open the camera.

  1. Check the supported resolutions:

    $ gst-device-monitor-1.0 Video/Source
    Probing devices...

    Device found:

    name : vi-output, tevs 9-0048
    class : Video/Source
    caps : video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=640, height=480, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=800, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=NV16, width=640, height=480, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=NV16, width=1280, height=720, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=NV16, width=1280, height=800, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=640, height=480, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720, framerate=60/1
    video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=800, framerate=60/1
    properties:
    object.path = v4l2:/dev/video0
    device.api = v4l2
    media.class = Video/Source
    api.v4l2.path = /dev/video0
    api.v4l2.cap.driver = tegra-video
    api.v4l2.cap.card = "vi-output\,\ tevs\ 9-0048"
    api.v4l2.cap.bus_info = platform:tegra-capture-vi:0
    api.v4l2.cap.version = 5.15.148
    api.v4l2.cap.capabilities = 84200001
    api.v4l2.cap.device-caps = 04200001
    device.id = 34
    node.name = v4l2_input.platform-tegra-capture-vi
    node.description = "vi-output\,\ tevs\ 9-0048"
    factory.name = api.v4l2.source
    node.pause-on-idle = false
    factory.id = 10
    client.id = 32
    clock.quantum-limit = 8192
    media.role = Camera
    node.driver = true
    object.id = 35
    object.serial = 35
    gst-launch-1.0 pipewiresrc path=35 ! ...

    ...

  2. Use the Gstreamer pipeline to launch a 1280x720 resolution camera (/dev/video0) via the CPU:

    $ DISPLAY=:0 gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
    "video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720" ! xvimagesink sync=false
  3. Use the Gstreamer pipeline to launch a 1280x720 resolution camera (/dev/video0) via the GPU:

    $ DISPLAY=:0 gst-launch-1.0 nvv4l2camerasrc device=/dev/video0 ! \
    "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720" ! \
    nvvidconv ! nv3dsink sync=false

Troubleshooting

Cannot find cameras

If you cannot bring up the cameras, you can check if the video device does exist.

$ ls /dev/video*  # List all video devices
/dev/video0 /dev/video1

If you cannot see the devices, you should check if the drivers have been probed.

Occur Error: Could not get EGL display connection

If you occurred the errors nvbufsurftransform: Could not get EGL display connection by rununing the Gstreamer command, you can modify the parameter DISPLAY by the command:

# Check and Set environment parameter for 'DISPLAY'
$ export DISPLAY=$(w| tr -s ' '| cut -d ' ' -f 3 | grep :)

# Run Gstreamer pipeline
$ gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! \
"video/x-raw, format=UYVY, width=1280, height=720" ! xvimagesink sync=false

no element "nvv4l2camerasrc"

If you encounter the following error:

WARNING: erroneous pipeline: no element "nvv4l2camerasrc"

This means your system is missing some NVIDIA GPU-related plug-in tools. You have to install some NVIDIA plug-in tools for Gstreamer.

$ sudo apt update && apt depends nvidia-jetpack | awk '{print $2}' | uniq | xargs -I {} bash -c "sudo apt -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" -y install {} ; sudo apt clean"
