This section presents GStreamer pipelines to capture from a USB camera and render the video to the display connected to the Orin NX. Key performance indicators are measured using three power profiles (operation modes): MaxN, 25W, and 10W. Check our GStreamer Pipelines section to find more information about how we extracted the performance metrics presented in this section.

USB PTZ Fomako Camera

For the pipelines in this section, we used a PTZ Fomako USB camera.

1920x1080@30 using xvimagesink

The pipeline below captures and renders the video to the display connected to the Orin NX using the xvimagesink element. Table 3 shows the performance metrics for this pipeline.

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! nvvidconv ! xvimagesink

Table 3: Performance of USB pipeline at 1920x1080@30 using xvimagesink

Operation Mode	CPU (%)	GPU (%)	FPS	Latency (ms)
MaxN	4.23	26.69	28.997	0.369
25W	7.54	26.07	28.998	0.388
10W	10.19	27.86	29.001	0.487

1920x1080@30 using nv3dsink

The pipeline below captures and renders the video to the display connected to the Orin NX using the nv3dsink element. Table 4 shows the performance metrics for this pipeline.

gst-launch-1.0 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! nvvidconv ! 'video/x-raw(memory:NVMM),format=NV12' ! nv3dsink

Table 4: Performance of USB pipeline at 1920x1080@30 using nv3dsink

Operation Mode	CPU (%)	GPU (%)	FPS	Latency (ms)
MaxN	7.68	28.22	29.064	10.878
25W	8.91	26.63	29.053	11.023
10W	13.37	33.52	29.061	11.698
