Stream cameras

Set up the camera

Connect camera sensors to your reference hardware platform.

Choose a stream API

Review the available stream API options.

Stream with the GStreamer API

Use GStreamer APIs to stream cameras.

Stream with the V4L2 API

Use the V4L2 framework to stream cameras.

Enhance camera output

Multi-Camera Offline IFE

Enable concurrent streaming from up to 4 Bayer cameras on a single IFE hardware.

Support per port grouping

Enable high-density camera concurrency by multiplexing up to 4 GMSL sensors over a single CSI/IFE-Lite path.

Support software TNR/MCTF

Reduce noise and refine motion clarity using TNR/MCTF.

Enable high dynamic range

Enable the staggered high dynamic range (SHDR) feature.

Enable EIS and LDC

Enable electronic image stabilization (EIS) and lens distortion correction (LDC).

Enable defog

Enable the defog feature.

Advanced feature concurrences

Simultaneously run SHDR, EIS, and LDC on the QCS6490 platform with optimized hardware-accelerated pipelines.

Enable multiple ROI streams

Extract up to three independent Region of Interest (ROI) streams from a single full FOV source on QCS6490.

Switch linear vs. SHDR mode automatically

Enable seamless runtime switching between Linear and SHDR v2 pipelines on QCS6490 platforms.
