The Slave Camera Capture sample uses the GMSL camera interface, if available, on NVIDIA DRIVE™ platforms. The sample opens an X window showing the input from the first camera on the selected camera group.
A camera must be connected to one of the NVIDIA DRIVE platform camera groups. The Slave Camera Capture sample, sample_camera_slave, accepts the following parameters:
./sample_camera_slave --host=[ip_address]
--port=[tcp_port_num]
--link=[sibling-num]
--mode=[fifo|mailbox]
--fifo-size=[3..16]
--serializer-type=[h264|h265]
--serializer-bitrate=[integer]
--serializer-framerate=[integer]
--write-file=[path/to/output/file]
Where:
--host=[ip_address]
Specifies the host IP address of the camera server
Default value: 127.0.0.1
--port=[tcp_port_num]
Specifies the port # to connect to the server, each port number maps to one camera group.
Default value: 49252
--link=[sibling-num]
Specifies the sibling index of the camera group to connect to
Default value: 0
--mode=[fifo|mailbox]
Specifies the streaming mode. Available options: fifo/mailbox.
In fifo mode, the server will queue the frames up to fifo-size frames, and if the slave is still slow, drop frame happens.
In mailbox mode, each readFrame call will get the latest frame from server, and server will not queue frames.
Default value: fifo
--fifo-size[3..16]
Specifies the fifo size of the sensor. It has no effects when slave is connected in mailbox mode.
If it exceeds certain threshold which is defined by camera server, the size will be cut off to safe value.
Default value: 4
--serializer-type=[h264|h265]
Represents the format of the video with two possible options:
h264 or uncompressed.
Default value: h264
--serializer-bitrate=[integer]
Allows to override the bitrate of the recorded video.
Note that an exact bitrate cannot be enforced, so the actual bitrate might
differ from the proposed one.
Default value: 8000000
--serializer-framerate=[integer]
Allows to override frame rate of the recorded video.
Default value: 30
--write-file=[path/to/output/file]
Specifies the output file.
If --write-file is not provided, no file is written out on disk.
Default value: none
