Channel count for Ultra Low Latency MPSoC-EV encode/decode solution

[dje666]

Dear Forum,

I understand that the MPSoC-EV devices can encode/decode 8 x 1080p30 sources simultaneously. However, the Ultra-Low Latency solutions documented in the VCU-TRD reference designs, appear to be limited to 2 x 1080p60 sources.

What is the actual number of 1080p30 video streams that the ULL architecture can support? 2, 4 or 8....?

NB. I only need to encode or decode in the one chip, never both for this application.

Regards,

HI @dje666 

In 2020.1 you can now support up to 4 streams for encoding (still 2 for decoding) for Ultra Low Latency. This means that the architecture can support more.

However there are multiple dependencies (memory, resource utilisation, timing) thus it might be complicated to give a answer of the architecture can support. This is a full system so it has to be validated.
