Encode yuv frames

[Viktor_S_]

Hi,

I want encode yuv frames from camera to h264.

Where in pipeline_encode i should fix it?

May be you have example?

Best regards Viktor.

Hi Viktor,

Can you provide more details regarding this issue ?

1. Which OS are you using ? Linux or Windows ?

2. What is Driver and MSDK version ?

3. What is MSDK samples version ?

4. What is special YUV format output by your camera ? NV12 ?

Thanks

Zachary

Here is my system:

Linux Samples 6.0.160431175.175 sample_encode with pipeline model.

MediaServerStudio Essentials 2015 R6

CentOS 7 kernel 229.

Intel® 4th generation Core™ i7-4770R

Intel® Iris™ Pro graphics 5200

I grab RGB frames from camera to the IPP function. So i can convert them to NV12, but may be it is possible pass 8UC3R ipp image to the MSDK surface?

Please help me.

Best regards Viktor.

Hi Viktor,

First we can found NV12 is supported as "SDK function input"  in Table 8 in page 26 in Intel Media SDK

So MSDK encode need NV12 as input. I think you need convert frames to NV12.

How to find a good way to do the conversion ? I don't know what do you think of ?

Can you explain some details regarding 8UC3R ? It looks like 8UC3R is not supported by MSDK.

Thanks,

Zachary

Thank you.

I will convert RGB to YUV NV12 with ipp function.

But how i can insert yuv binary frame (buffer) into the encoder->run() chain?

Can you explain?

Hi Viktor,

You can convert RGBA to NV12 with VPP.

Alternately, you can use IPP to convert RGB24 to NV12 like this:

        // read RGB data
         for (int i = 0; i < inputHeight; i++) {
            nBytesRead = (mfxU32)fread(pRGB + i * stridesrcRGB, 3, inputWidth, fSource);
          }
       

        // convert RGB24 to NV12
        ippiRGBToYCbCr420_8u_C3P2R(
            pRGB,stridesrcRGB,
            pEncSurfaces[nEncSurfIdx]->Data.Y, pEncSurfaces[nEncSurfIdx]->Data.Pitch,
            pEncSurfaces[nEncSurfIdx]->Data.UV,pEncSurfaces[nEncSurfIdx]->Data.Pitch,
            srcsizeY);

        for (;;) {
            // Encode a frame asychronously (returns immediately)
            sts = mfxENC.EncodeFrameAsync(NULL, pEncSurfaces[nEncSurfIdx], &mfxBS, &syncp);

           //... (check normal state machine cases here
        }

Thank you very much!
