GstRtspSink - NVIDIA Jetson

This wiki presents some performance measurements of a typical GstRtspSink pipeline on the NVIDIA Platforms (Nano, TX2, Xavier, and Orin).

Problems running the pipelines shown on this page? Please see our GStreamer Debugging guide for help.

The pipeline ran without clients, after 1h one client is connected to the stream.

GstRtspSink Pipeline

The following GstRtspSink pipeline generates video with a videotestsrc, encodes it using NVIDIA HW accelerated H264 encoder, and streams it using GstRtspSink.
