Video TCP server sink

Description

This sample application gets frames from a video capture device and sends them over the network to the connected TCP client.

Requirements

This samples requires a video capture device and network support.

Wiring

On MIMXRT1064-EVK, The MT9M114 camera module should be plugged in the J35 camera connector. A USB cable should be connected from a host to the micro USB debug connector (J41) in order to get console output via the freelink interface. Ethernet cable must be connected to RJ45 connector.

Building and Running

For MIMXRT1064-EVK, the sample can be built with the following command. If a mt9m114 camera shield is missing, video software generator will be used instead.

west build -b mimxrt1064_evk --shield dvp_fpc24_mt9m114 samples/drivers/video/tcpserversink

Sample Output

Video device detected, format: RGBP 480x272
TCP: Waiting for client...

Then from a peer on the same network you can connect and grab frames.

Example with gstreamer:

gst-launch-1.0 tcpclientsrc host=192.0.2.1 port=5000 \
    ! videoparse format=rgb16 width=480 height=272 \
    ! queue \
    ! videoconvert \
    ! fpsdisplaysink sync=false

For video software generator, the default resolution should be width=320 and height=160.
