Streaming Camera Data through Ethernet

Instead of streaming to a display connected to the same SoC, the camera data can also be streamed through the Ethernet. The receiving side can be either another AM62A/AM62P processor or a host PC. The following is an example of streaming the camera data through the Ethernet (using two cameras for simplicity) (note the encoder plugin used in the pipeline):

gst-launch-1.0 \
v4l2src device=/dev/video-imx219-cam0 io-mode=5 ! video/x-bayer,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1,format=bggr ! queue leaky=2 ! \
tiovxisp sensor-name=SENSOR_SONY_IMX219_RPI dcc-isp-file=/opt/imaging/imx219/dcc_viss_1920x1080.bin \
sink_0::dcc-2a-file=/opt/imaging/imx219/dcc_2a_1920x1080.bin sink_0::device=/dev/v4l-imx219-subdev0 ! queue ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! v4l2h264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink port=5000 host=<receiving IP address> \
v4l2src device=/dev/video-imx219-cam1 io-mode=5 ! video/x-bayer,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1,format=bggr ! queue leaky=2 ! \
tiovxisp sensor-name=SENSOR_SONY_IMX219_RPI dcc-isp-file=/opt/imaging/imx219/dcc_viss_1920x1080.bin \
sink_0::dcc-2a-file=/opt/imaging/imx219/dcc_2a_1920x1080.bin sink_0::device=/dev/v4l-imx219-subdev1 ! queue ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080,framerate=30/1 ! v4l2h264enc ! rtph264pay ! udpsink port=5001 host=<receiving IP address>

The following is an example of receiving the camera data and streaming to a display on another AM62A/AM62P processor:

gst-launch-1.0 -v \
udpsrc port=5000 ! 'application/x-rtp, encoding-name=H264, payload=96' ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! queue ! videoconvert ! queue ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080 ! queue ! mosaic.sink_0 \
udpsrc port=5001 ! 'application/x-rtp, encoding-name=H264, payload=96' ! rtph264depay ! avdec_h264 ! queue ! videoconvert ! queue ! \
video/x-raw,format=NV12,width=1920,height=1080 ! queue ! mosaic.sink_1 \
