Video Codec Unit (VCU) in ZynqMP SOC is capable of encoding and decoding AVC/HEVC compressed video streams in real time.
This notebook example shows video audio (AV) recording usecase – the process of capturing raw video and audio(optional), encode using VCU and then store content in file. The file stored is recorded compressed file.
The audio device name of audio source(Input device) and playback device(output device) need to be determined using arecord and aplay utilities installed on platform.
Audio Input
ALSA sound device names for capture devices
Run below command to get ALSA sound device names for capture devices
root@zcu106-zynqmp:~#arecord -l
It shows list of Audio Capture Hardware Devices. For e.g
- card 1: C920 [HD Pro Webcam C920], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
- Subdevices: 1/1
- Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Here card number of capture device is 1 and device id is 0. Hence " hw:1,0 " to be passed as auido input device.
Pulse sound device names for capture devices
Run below command to get PULSE sound device names for capture devices
root@zcu106-zynqmp:~#pactl list short sources
It shows list of Audio Capture Hardware Devices. For e.g
- 0 alsa_input.usb-046d_HD_Pro_Webcam_C920_758B5BFF-02.analog-stereo ...
Here "alsa_input.usb-046d_HD_Pro_Webcam_C920_758B5BFF-02.analog-stereo" is the name of audio capture device. Hence it can be passed as auido input device.
Resolutions for this example need to set based on USB Camera Capabilities
Capabilities can be found by executing below command on board
root@zcu106-zynqmp:~#"v4l2-ctl -d < dev-id > --list-formats-ext".
< dev-id >:- It can be found using dmesg logs. Mostly it would be like "/dev/video0"
