Looking to build a AVB packetizer for streaming encoded vide

Post by techletsdoit »

I want to work on a HW where the only I/O available to stream video is through ethernet. Since we want to try AVB, is it possible if we use a starter kit along with ethernet slice card to implement a AVB talker to stream encoded video. The HW we have currently will be used a AVB listener.Note: Since I see currently AVB solution by XMOS is demoed for audio, I expect it should not be a huge effort to do the same for video, please correct me if this assumption is incorrect and highlight what would be the pain points if any.

It should be possible to implement transport of endcoded video over AVB in the existing version of the software.

 

sliceKIT is the right hardware platform to use. The required slices are Ethernet (XA-SK-E100) and a custom slice for interfacing to a video source, if required. Audio slice (XA-SK-AUDIO-PLL) is recommended for reference, enabling you to experiment using the standard AVB audio design.

 

Video is not supported in the lastest AVB software stack, however there is an older version available (5.1.2) for reference that has experimental support for MPEG-TS ensapsulation.
