5Mpixel streaming?

[cklein]

Hello,

I bought a Tinker Board since it mentions support for 4K (on a second thought, it might have referred to 4K decoding and not 4K encoding ). I connected an OV5647 5Mpixel camera to it (i.e., RPi Camera v1) via CSI. Can the Tinker Board stream all 5M pixels of the camera to a different computer, preferably in H264 or HEVC/H265?

I used gst-inspect-1.0, but couldn't find any plugin for hardware HEVC/H265 encoder. The RockChip H264 encoder (mpph264enc, see gst-inspect-1.0 output below) seems to support only Full HD.

Thanks,
Cristian

You are right...
http://opensource.rock-chips.com/images/...170301.pdf page 11.
Decode can up to 4K, but the encoder only supports h264 1920x1080.
I'm not good at decode and encode how to work. so I can't give any helpful tip to you.

Thanks for the link confirming my suspicion!
