  10. For MIPI CSI-2, Insert the LI-IMX274MIPI-FMC image sensor daughter card into the FMC0 connector and set VADJ to 1.2V (See FMC VADJ Voltage Settings).
  11. Set up a terminal session between a PC COM port and the serial port on the evaluation board (See the Determine which COM to use to access the USB serial port on the ZCU106 board for more details).
  12. Switch ON SW1 to power the ZCU106 board.

The figure below shows the ZCU106 board connections for HDMI/MIPI design.


It takes about a minute for Linux to boot. The user may miss the boot sequence while the terminal session is being configured.

FMC VADJ Voltage Settings
VADJ voltage needs to be set to 1.2V for LI-IMX274MIPI-FMC image sensor daughter card. Refer to AR# 67308 for setting VADJ value.

Determine which COM to use to access the USB serial port on the ZCU106 board.
Make sure that the ZCU106 board is powered on and a micro USB cable is connected between ZCU106 board and host PC. This ensures that the USB-to-serial bridge is enumerated by the PC host.

Open your computer's Control Panel by clicking on Start > Control Panel.

Note that the Start button is typically located in the lower left corner of the screen. Occasionally, it is in the upper left corner.
  1. Click Device Manager to open the Device Manager window. Note: You may be asked to confirm opening the Device Manager. If so, click YES.
  2. Expand Ports (COM & LPT).
  3. Locate the Silicon Labs Quad CP210x USB to UART Bridge: Interface 0 (COM#).
  4. Note down the COM Port number for further steps.
  5. Close the Device Manager by clicking the red X in the upper right corner of the window.

Launch any Terminal application like Tera term to view the serial messages
  1. Launch Tera Term and open the COM port that is associated to Silicon Labs Quad CP210x USB to UART Bridge: Interface 0 of the USB-to-serial bridge.
  2. Set the COM port to 115200 Baud rate, 8, none, 1 –Set COM port.
  3. Power ON the board which has SD card. It boots Linux on board.

1.2 Run Flow



Please note that Windows formatter can't be used and partition should be FAT32, not FAT.
  • Copy all the files from the $TRD_HOME/images/vcu_trd/rev-c SD card directory to a FAT32 formatted SD card. For ZCU106 Rev-B board, use $TRD_HOME/images/vcu_trd/rev-b path.
  • Power on the board; make sure INIT_B, done and all power rail LEDs are lit green.
  • After ~30 seconds, the display will turn on and the application will start automatically, targeting the max supported resolution of the monitor (3840x2160).
  • The user can now control the application from the GUI's control bar (top left) displayed on the monitor.
  • The user can quit the application by clicking on exit [X] icon. To restart the application type run_vcu.sh on the shell.
NOTE: The SD card file system is mounted at /media/card. Optional storage medium SATA and USB are mounted at /media/sata and /media/usb respectively.

1.2.1 Graphic User Interface

A QT based graphical user interface (GUI) provides control and monitoring interface. By default, GUI will run on DP only.

Run the below command to launch GUI on Display port when connected.
% run_vcu.sh
The GUI is not supported for HDMI Tx. In HDMI 4kp60 mode, GUI requires additional ~2GB memory bandwidth. If you invoke the GUI cause memory bandwidth issue. So HDMI Tx, use only command line application (vcu_gst_app). Table below provides the supported display interfaces for both GUI and command line application.
Display InterfaceGUICommand Line Application
DisplayPort
HDMINot supported

The figure below shows the home screen of DP when only DP is connected.


GUI only supports single stream playback. Supported resolutions are 1080p and 4kp. The supported frame rate for 1080p is 60 fps and 30fps for 4kp. For all multi-stream use case and 4kp60 single stream, the user has to run command line applications.

QT GUI has following options for the user to select:

Number of Input
This determines the number of active video sources. Only one input source is supported.

Output
This option allows the user to select sink for the pipeline. Supported output sink types is display port, record, and stream. For the Display Port , the available Codec options are either enc-dec or Pass-through. For Record and Stream Out, the available Codec option is Enc.

Input Settings
The below figure shows the input settings window with configuration options.


Different configuration options available in the QT pop up window are:

Input Source (Input 1)
The following video sources (4K) are available as part of input video selection:
  • HDMI-Rx: GooBang Doo ABOX 2017 (Android 6.0 TV Box) with an optional splitter
  • File: Mp4 streams reside in SD-Card/USB/SATA.
  • Test Pattern Generator (TPG): Implemented in the PL
  • MIPI: LI-IMX274 MIPI-FMC v1.1.
  • SDI Receiver - Black Magic Teranex Mini HDMI to 12G converter

Codec
The following options are available as part of Codec functionality
  • Enc-Dec: This option is to select encode and decode in the pipeline.
  • Enc: This option is to select encode only in the pipeline for record or stream out use case.
  • Pass-through: This option is to display raw video.

Preset
There are six predefined presets. If the user edits any control options preset mode switches to “Custom”.
  • AVC Low Encoder type = H264, bitrate = 10Mbps
  • AVC Medium Encoder type = H264, bitrate = 30Mbps
  • AVC High Encoder type = H264, bitrate = 60Mbps
  • HEVC Low Encoder type = H265, bitrate = 10Mbps
  • HEVC Medium Encoder type = H265, bitrate = 30Mbps
  • HEVC High Encoder type = H265, bitrate = 60Mbps

Profile = Main, Rate Control= CBR, Filler Data = true, QP=uniform, L2 Cache = true, Latency mode = Normal, Low Bandwidth = true, Gop Mode = Basic, B-frame = 0, Slice = 4 and GoP Length = 30 common for all above options.
  • Custom User specific options

Please refer to the Supported Encoder Format section for the supported encoder format in this release.

Settings
A user can control the encoder, record and stream out configuration from the GUI, Settings option are enabled when the pipeline is in the stop state. User can control the encoder parameters when output option is selected as Display port/Record/Stream.

Encoder
This can be either H264 or H265.

Profile
The standard defines a set of capabilities, which are referred to as profiles, targeting specific classes of applications. These are declared as a profile code (profile_idc) and a set of constraints applied in the encoder. This allows a decoder to recognize the requirements to decode that specific stream.
H264 supports baseline, main and high profile. In H265 only main profile is supported.

QP
Quantization in an encoder is controlled by a quantization parameter. It specifies how to generate the QP per coding unit (CU). Two modes are supported-
  • Uniform: All CUs of the slice using the same QP
  • Auto: VCU encoder changes the QP for each coding unit according to its content.

Rate Control
Constant bitrate (CBR), variable bitrate (VBR) and low-latency are supported. CBR mode generates a constant bitrate that you can predefine. CBR is recommended for limited bandwidth use cases.

Bitrate
Encoding bit rate. In digital multimedia, bit rate often refers to the number of bits used per unit of playback time to represent a continuous medium such as audio or video after source coding (data compression).

B-frame
Short for bi-directional frame, or bi-directional predictive frame, a video compression method used by the MPEG standard. It ranges from 0 to 4.

Slice
The number of slices produced for each frame. Each slice contains one or more complete macroblock/CTU row(s). Slices are distributed over the frame as regularly as possible. If slice-size is defined as well more slices may be produced to fit the slice-size requirement
Range:
4-22 4kp resolution with HEVC codec
4-32 4kp resolution with AVC codec
4-32 1080p resolution with HEVC codec
4-32 1080p resolution with AVC codec

GoP Length
In video coding, a group of pictures, or GOP structure, specifies the order in which intra and inter-frames are arranged. And GoP-length is a length between two Intra frames. The GOP is a collection of successive pictures within a coded video stream. Each coded video stream consists of successive GOPs, from which the visible frames are generated. Its range is from 1 to 1000. NOTE: the GoP-length must be a multiple of B-Frames+1 AR71253)

Filler Data
Filler Data NAL units for CBR rate control to maintain constant bitrate throughout the playback. It can be enabled or disabled. It is applicable to CBR mode only.

L2 Cache
Enable or Disable L2Cache buffer in encoding process.

Latency Mode
Encoder latency mode. It can be normal or sub_frame mode.

Low Bandwidth
If enabled, decrease the vertical search range used for P-frame motion estimation to reduce the bandwidth.

Gop Mode
Group of Pictures mode. It can be Basic, low_delay_p, or low_delay_b.

Record
When Output option is selected as Record, A tab will be enabled in settings window through which user can record the video into the storage medium.




Storage
This option specifies storage device for the recorded file. The list is dynamically populated based on mounted storage devices. Supported storage devices are SD, USB, and SATA.

Output File Name
Name of the output file. For H264, recorded file get saved as <Source name>_H264_rec_<timestamp>.mp4 and for H265 it will be <Source name>_H265_rec_<timestamp>.mp4

Duration
This option will specify the Recording time duration. It ranges from 1-3 mins.

NOTE: Due to speed and storage constraints it is recommended to use USB/SATA storage devices for the record.

Stream-out
The stream-out panel allows the user to configure streaming parameters.

Stream-out Prerequisites:
  • Host server machine (with GPU) capable of playing 4K60 stream.
  • Setup Ethernet connection between ZCU106 board and the host machine. Ensure connection is alive by doing a ping from the board to host machine.
  • VLC player installed on the host machine.
  • Firewall is turned off on the host machine.
  • Start VLC player on the host before streaming from GUI.



Sink
Provides sink option for the stream-out. It is set to PS Ethernet.

Host IP
IP address of a computer or other Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC board in which streaming video will be played on. It is set to 192.168.25.89 by default.

IP
This option will show the IP address of the board if the Ethernet link is up. If no Ethernet link is connected then it will show “Not Connected”.

Port
Port number of the Ethernet link. By default, it is set to 5004.

Steps for Stream Out
Here are the steps to get the ZCU106 TRD to play out to VLC.
  • Make sure that your machine can play 4Kp60 streams and turned off the Firewall.
  • Connect your PC to the ZCU106 board. It is recommended a direct connection between ZCU106 board and PC to minimize the network traffic.
  • Set the IP address for the ZCU106 board and PC to use the same subnet (i.e. ZCU106 - ifconfig eth0 192.168.25.90 and PC - 192.168.25.89).
  • Create .sdp file on host. For H265 RTP client, add below configs in host_h265.sdp file.
v=0 c=IN IP4 192.168.25.90 m=video 5004 RTP/AVP 96 a=rtpmap:96 H265/90000 a=framerate=30
Depending on the network, change IP address and port number. IP address given in .sdp is ZCU106 board's IP. For H264 RTP client, change encoder to H264.
  • Launch VLC on your PC and open the SDP file (Click on media -> Open File. Select host_h265.sdp file and click on open.)
  • Setup output option to “Stream” in the ZCU106 VCU TRD GUI.
  • Configure the Stream out settings and make sure that the ZCU106 VCU TRD GUI is pointing to the IP address of your PC.
  • Select the HDMI-Rx/MIPI or the TPG as an input.
  • Press play in VLC on your PC. (The Client must start first, but VLC times out if you wait too long before starting the ZCU106 VCU TRD Stream).
  • Press play on the ZCU106 VCU TRD GUI

NOTE: In video streaming use case it is recommended to set b-frame=0

1.2.2 GStreamer Application (vcu_gst_app)

The vcu_gst_app is a command line multi-threaded Linux application that uses the vcu_gst_lib interface similar to vcu_qt. The command line application requires an input configuration file (input.cfg) to be provided in the plain text. Refer to the Appendix A - Input Configuration File (input.cfg) for the file format and description.

Before execution of vcu_gst_app, we need to check the HDMI-Rx link status. Refer Appendix B for how to check the HDMI Link Status
  • Execution of the application is shown below:
% vcu_gst_app < path to *.cfg file>

Note: Required Storage medium SATA and USB are mounted at /media/sata and /media/usb respectively.

configuration files(input.cfg) for various Resolutions are placed in the following directory structure in /media/card/
config/
├── 1-4kp60
│   ├── Display
│   ├── Record
│   └── Stream
├── 2-4kp30
│   ├── Display
│   ├── Record
│   └── Stream
├── 4-1080p60
│   ├── Display
│   ├── Record
│   └── Stream
└── input.cfg

Ex: 4kp60 HEVC_HIGH Display Pipeline execution

% vcu_gst_app /media/card/config/1-4kp60/Display/Single_4kp60_HEVC_HIGH.cfg
  • 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

1.2.3 Multistream

When the number of input is more than one in the command line application, it is a multi-stream use case. The command line application supports multi-streaming, multi-recording, or multi-display.
The input source type can be HDMI and MIPI. For multi-streaming/multi-recording, the source type can be HDMI and MIPI.
