One Line Summary

Support for live/stream-based sources and sinks within KMS

Abstract

DRM and KMS have always dealt very specifically in terms of buffers and frames, rather than connecting arbitrary streams together. Dealing in streams has always been the domain of userspace, with frameworks such as GStreamer and OpenMAX IL.

Unfortunately some hardware can only work in a stream-based manner, such as media decode engines (or cameras) to display engines, and also ‘writeback’ from display engine outputs back to media encode engines.

This session will look at the work required to support live sources and sinks within KMS.
