VCU encoder and decoder supports encoding and decoding of YUV444 Full chroma 8-bit and 10-bit format support at gstreamer level from the 2022.1 release onwards.
- Enables the capture of YUV444 Full chroma 8-bit and 10-bit video from HDMI-RX.
- The video can be displayed on HDMI-TX or DisplayPort and recorded on SD cards or USB/SATA drives.
- The module can stream-in or stream-out encoded data through an ethernet interface.
- This module supports up to single-stream 4kp30 YU24 (3 Planar YUV 4:4:4 8-bit image data in a single contiguous buffer) and X403 (3 Planar YUV 4:4:4 10-bit image data in a single contiguous buffer) formats.
Zynq UltraScale+ VCU HW does not support YUV444 Full chroma encode/decode processing. Only YUV 4:0:0, 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 sub-sampling modes are supported. This feature enables encoding YUV444 Full chroma p (3 Planar data in a single contiguous buffer) video frames using VCU, reading them as YUV4:0:0 of Width x 3*Height buffer. Similarly for the decoder, the VCU Decoder outputs Width x 3*Height YUV4:0:0 raw video frame, but the display will treat that buffer as YUV444 Full chroma planar buffer. This feature also includes enhancing FB_RD, FB_WR IP/Drivers and V4l2 and DRM frameworks to support YUV444 Full chroma planar buffer format.
