1 Overview
The primary goal of this Design is to demonstrate the capabilities of VCU hard block present in Zynq UltraScale+ EV devices. The TRD will serve as a platform to tune the performance parameters of VCU and arrive at optimal configurations for encoder and decoder blocks with the streaming use case where bandwidth plays a vital role.
This design supports the following video interfaces:
Sources:
- File source (SD card, USB storage, SATA hard disk).
- Stream-In from network or internet.
Sinks:
- HDMI-Tx display pipeline implemented in the PL.
VCU Codec:
- Video Encode/Decode capability using VCU hard block in PL
- AVC/HEVC encoding.
- Encoder/decoder parameter configuration.
Streaming Interfaces:
- 1G Ethernet on PS
Video format:
- NV12
10G Deliverables:
| Pipeline | Input source | Output Type | Resolution | Video encode/Decoder type | Deliverables |
Playback pipeline | File Source/ Stream-In | HDMI –Tx | 4K/1080p | HEVC/AVC | Playback of the local-file/stream-in with video decoded using VCU and display on HDMI-Tx. |
Supported Features:
The table below provides the supported encoder feature in this release.
| Resolution | Command Line | |
| Single Stream | Multi-stream | |
| 4kp60 | √ | NA |
| 4kp30 | √ | NA |

1.2 Run Flow
The TRD package is released with the source code, Vivado project, Petalinux BSP, and SD card image that enables the user to run the demonstration. It also includes the binaries necessary to configure and boot the ZCU106 board. Prior to running the steps mentioned in this wiki page, download the TRD package and extract its contents to a directory referred to as ‘TRD_HOME' which is the home directory.
Refer below link to download all TRD contents.
TRD package contents specific to HDMI Video Display design is placed in the following directory structure. The user needs to copy all the files from the $TRD_HOME/images/vcu_hdmitx/ to FAT32 formatted SD card directory.

4 Appendix B
- If HDMI Tx link-up issue is observed after Linux booting, use the following command:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$ modetest -D a0070000.v_mix -s 40:3840x2160-60@AR24 -w 35:"alpha":0 |
- Run the following gst-launch-1.0 command for file playback using GStreamer pipeline.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$ gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri="file:///run/media/sda/test.ts" ! queue max-size-bytes=0 ! kmssink bus-id="a0070000.v_mix" |
NOTE: File location should be SATA SSD(ext4 format) to avoid the read-write bandwidth issue.
- Run the following gst-launch-1.0 command to display cbr stream-in on HDMI-Tx video using Gstreamer pipeline where 5004 is port no.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|

$ gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=5004 buffer-size=60000000 caps="application/x-rtp, clock-rate=90000" ! rtpjitterbuffer latency=1000 ! rtpmp2tdepay ! tsparse ! video/mpegts ! tsdemux name=demux ! queue ! h265parse ! video/x-h265, profile=main, alignment=au ! omxh265dec internal-entropy-buffers=5 low-latency=0 ! queue max-size-bytes=0 ! kmssink bus-id="a0070000.v_mix" |
- Run the following gst-launch-1.0 command to display low-latency stream-in on HDMI-Tx video using Gstreamer pipeline where 5004 is port no.
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
$ gst-launch-1.0 udpsrc port=5004 buffer-size=60000000 caps="application/x-rtp, clock-rate=90000" ! rtpjitterbuffer latency=1000 ! rtpmp2tdepay ! tsparse ! video/mpegts ! tsdemux name=demux ! queue ! h265parse ! video/x-h265, profile=main, alignment=nal ! omxh265dec internal-entropy-buffers=5 low-latency=1 ! queue max-size-bytes=0 ! kmssink bus-id="a0070000.v_mix" |
NOTE: Low latency stream-in pipeline is not supported in vcu_gst_app.
