NVIDIA Jetson Orin Reference Designs – Panoramic Stitching and WebRTC Streaming
Reference designs are powerful tools to help developers prototype products quickly and accelerate time to market. A reference design provides a tested hardware and software blueprint that demonstrates how specific features of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin can be used in real-world applications. By starting with a working design, engineers can focus on adapting and customizing functionality rather than building everything from scratch, reducing both cost and development risk.
What is a Jetson Orin Reference Design?
RidgeRun creates optimized reference designs that showcase the advanced multimedia and AI capabilities of the Jetson Orin AGX. These designs integrate hardware accelerators such as the VIC (Video Image Compositor), NVENC (hardware video encoder), and GPU to demonstrate high-performance video processing, computer vision, and streaming applications. In practice, this means developers can evaluate cutting-edge use cases like intelligent video analytics, robotics perception, or remote collaboration without needing to first assemble the entire software stack.
Panoramic Stitching and WebRTC Streaming
One of RidgeRun’s featured reference designs focuses on panoramic video stitching combined with WebRTC streaming. In this solution, multiple video streams are received via RTSP, then stitched together in real time into a seamless panoramic image. The resulting wide-angle view is streamed using WebRTC, enabling low-latency video communication that is ideal for remote monitoring, robotics, surveillance, and immersive applications such as AR/VR.
This reference design highlights:
- Efficient use of Jetson Orin hardware accelerators for real-time video stitching.
- Integration of RTSP video sources into a single panoramic output.
- Low-latency, high-quality WebRTC streaming optimized for edge AI deployments.
Benefits for Developers
By leveraging RidgeRun’s reference designs, developers reduce risk and accelerate development cycles. These blueprints demonstrate best practices for integrating NVIDIA Jetson Orin multimedia features with GStreamer and real-time networking protocols. Whether you are building a computer vision product, a robotics application, or a video streaming platform, reference designs provide a strong foundation to build upon and shorten the path from idea to production.
