Features of the Evaluation

The Spherical Video PTZ evaluation version contains all the features of the plug-in, with with some limitations. Also, it is provided in binary form, so you won't have access to the source code.

The following table summarizes the features available in both the professional and evaluation version of the element.

├── environment.sh
├── example
...

Execute the test environment configuration script:

cd gst-rr-panoramaptz-eval
./configuration.sh

Clean the GStreamer registry

rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/*

Finally validate that the installation was successful with the following command, you should see the inspect output for the evaluation binary.
