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 are placed in the following directory structure. The user needs to copy all the files from the $TRD_HOME/images/vcu_audio/ to FAT32 formatted SD card directory.

1.2.1 GStreamer Application (vcu_gst_app)
The vcu_gst_app is a command line multi-threaded Linux application. The command line application requires an input configuration file (input.cfg) to be provided in the plain text.
Execution of the application is shown below:
% vcu_gst_app < path to *.cfg file>
Example:
4kp60 HEVC_HIGH Display Pipeline execution
% vcu_gst_app /media/card/config/Single_4kp60_HDMI_HDMI/Display/Single_HDMI_HDMI_4kp60_HEVC_HIGH.cfg
4kp60 HEVC_HIGH Record Pipeline execution
% vcu_gst_app /media/card/config/Single_4kp60_HDMI_HDMI/Record/Single_HDMI_HDMI_4kp60_HEVC_HIGH.cfg
4kp60 HEVC_HIGH Stream-out Pipeline execution
% vcu_gst_app /media/card/config/Single_4kp60_HDMI_HDMI/Stream-out/Single_HDMI_HDMI_4kp60_HEVC_HIGH.cfg
4kp60 HEVC_HIGH Stream-in Pipeline execution
% vcu_gst_app /media/card/config/Single_4kp60_HDMI_HDMI/Stream-in/Single_HDMI_HDMI_4kp60_HEVC_HIGH.cfg
NOTE: Make sure HDMI-Rx should be configured to 4kp60 mode.
To measure the latency of the pipeline, run the below command. The latency data is huge, so dump it to a file.
% GST_DEBUG="GST_TRACER:7" GST_TRACERS="latency;scheduletime" ./vcu_gst_app ./input.cfg >& dump_log.txt

2 Other Information
2.1 Known Issues
- For VCU related known issues please refer AR# 72293: PetaLinux 2019.1 - Product Update Release Notes and Known Issues.
- Block Noise is observed in AVC_MEDIUM and AVC_LOW in 4kp60 pipelines.
- The digilent PMOD card cannot support the passive source like MICROPHONES. Only active sources are to be connected .Here source is from the Aux cable which is connected in between the source (laptop) and pmod card.
2.2 Limitations
- For playback in DP, video input resolution should match to DP's native resolution. This constraint is due to support of GUI. In GUI case if we allow video source other than native resolution(by setting fullscreen overlay) then graphics layer will disappear. To recover back GUI user need to kill and relaunch the GUI app. To avoid such condition TRD only supports video input resolution which is equal to DP's native resolution.
- For VCU related limitations please refer AR# 72293: PetaLinux 2019.1 - Product Update Release Notes and Known Issues and PG252 link.
2.3 Optimum VCU Encoder parameters for use-cases:
Video streaming:
- Video streaming use-case requires very stable bitrate graph for all pictures.
- It is good to avoid periodic large Intra pictures during the encoding session
- Low-latency rate control (hardware RC) is the preferred control-rate for video streaming, it tries to maintain equal amount frame sizes for all pictures.
- Good to avoid periodic Intra frames instead use low-delay-p (IPPPPP…)
- VBR is not a preferred mode of streaming.
Performance: AVC Encoder settings:
- It is preferred to use 8 or higher slices for better AVC encoder performance.
- AVC standard does not support Tile mode processing which results in the processing of MB rows sequentially for entropy coding.
Quality: Low bitrate AVC encoding:
- Enable profile=high and use qp-mode=auto for low-bitrate encoding use-cases.
- The high profile enables 8x8 transform which results in better video quality at low bitrates.

Notes for gst-launch-1.0 commands:
- Make sure HDMI-Rx media pipeline is configured for 4kp60 resolution and source/sink have the same colour format. Run below xmedia-ctl commands to set resolution and format of HDMI scaler node.
When HDMI Input Source is NVIDIA SHIELD
$ xmedia-ctl -d /dev/media1 -V "\"a0080000.v_proc_ss\":0 [fmt:RBG888_1X24/3840x2160 field:none]" $ xmedia-ctl -d /dev/media1 -V "\"a0080000.v_proc_ss\":1 [fmt:VYYUYY8_1X24/3840x2160 field:none]"
NOTE: Make sure NVIDIA SHIELD is configured for 4kp resolution and RGB888 colour format.
When HDMI Input Source is ABOX
$ xmedia-ctl -d /dev/media1 -V "\"a0080000.v_proc_ss\":0 [fmt:VYYUYY8_1X24/3840x2160 field:none]" $ xmedia-ctl -d /dev/media1 -V "\"a0080000.v_proc_ss\":1 [fmt:VYYUYY8_1X24/3840x2160 field:none]"
NOTE: Make sure ABOX is configured for 4kp resolution and VYYUYY8 colour format.
