Re: CM4 + Lithium Ion
I have only used a hdmi capture card but replacing libx264 with h264_omx should work? At least that is the old rpi3 style, I think there is more modern ways now. Can test on my rpi4 later. Thanks for the heads up regarding h264_omx. This uses the GPU for encoding I assume? I did try it quickly and ...

Re: CM4 + Lithium Ion
Seems like you are using software to do the encoding? Use the HW accelerator instead if you want better efficiency. Probably 5-10x better in terms of power. Also the ultra fast preset is not really a good use of libx264 (see https://dev.beandog.org/x264_preset_reference.html, you are missing out on...

Re: CM4 + Lithium Ion
Based on the [ TECHNICAL ] details in my first post, does the Linear LTC3533 look like a good candidate to boost the LiPo?

Re: CM4 + Lithium Ion
You need to rework your design. BQ24075 doesn't have a boost regulator to step up the battery voltage. The output varies between 5V when charging and the battery voltage when it isn't charging. The CM4 PMIC will trigger the undervoltage lockout and shutdown because you're far below the minimum volt...

Re: CM4 + Lithium Ion
Thanks Stuart. It looks like the problem may be related to the absence of a LiPo boost converter on the board. You agree? Quite possibly in this situation, but as W. H. Heydt also posted above, even with that fixed you need to look at your actual power usage for your application. The calculation us...

Re: CM4 + Lithium Ion
When you are running off USB-C with the video recording running how much current is being pulled from the 5V input? Is there a software utility that lets me monitor this via CLI? No, this is information you need to get from where the power is coming from - the Pi has no way of knowing (you want tot...

CM4 + Lithium Ion
[ BACKGROUND ] We’ve developed a custom CM4 carrier board that can be powered by either a direct USB-C connection or an internal 1700mAh Lithium ION Polymer battery. Our device is designed to record video and audio synchronously. We accomplish this via the following CLI command: raspivid -t 0 -n -w...

Re: CM4 Carrier Board = 1080p encode limit
From what I understand, if I design a carrier board for the CM3+ now, it will not directly support the CM4 (or whatever it's called). Is this not correct? Looks like CM4 is way down the road. Summer probably. Such a shame. I've been waiting for its release to begin my new company's VR hardware. As t...

Such a shame. I've been waiting for its release to begin my new company's VR hardware.
As the next iteration of the CM will undoubtedly require a new carrier board design, designing for the current CM3+ seems impractical at this point.

Re: CM4 Carrier Board = 1080p encode limit
@6by9
Thanks for clarifying that. I believe the general conclusion is that -w 1792 -h 896 is the largest stereo recording I can current accomplish using Raspivid (keeping with the law of 128). After the initial recording I could then upscale it to, say, 1920 x 960.

Re: CM4 Carrier Board = 1080p encode limit
Yes, I actually mean 1080x1080 (or 1024x1024) @ 30fps. The goal is to make a single file comprising the two images combined horizontally ---> to make, for example, a 2048x1024 file. I know currently recording stereo imagery via Raspivid cannot exceed 1920x1080. (actually Raspivid is restricted to -w...

Re: So, what's the big new thing for this year's Pi Day (8th anniversary) ?
While 4k would certainly be nice, I would be happy with any real improvement to the 1920x1080 encoding limit. Even 2.5k or 3k h264 @30fps would be great!

Re: So, what's the big new thing for this year's Pi Day (8th anniversary) ?
Did you see any mention of a display company in my post? No. (Somebody else's post, yes) Mentioning a need for better encoding is just that and has nothing to do with anything else you add to it. Nothing to do with a display company or anything else. Better, higher encoding resolution would be nice....

4k encoding is not possible on the current SOC.

Not on the Pi4, it would require changing the SOC (or the SoC being redesigned to have an encoder).
In fact H265 encode in HW is VERY difficult.

Re: So, what's the big new thing for this year's Pi Day (8th anniversary) ?
Too bad "4K video support" means decoding support. What's needed is 4k encoding! Anything beyond the Raspberry Pi's existing 1080p encoding limitation would be nice at this point.

Re: CM4 Carrier Board = 1080p encode limit
Yes, ahem.... is the Rpi4 capable of recoding two 1080x1080 videos simultaneously at, say, 30fps (via FFMPEG perhaps)?

CM4 Carrier Board = 1080p encode limit
I assume that a theoretical CM4 would also be limited to 1080p encoding. If so, would the theoretical CM4 be capable of recoding two 1080x1080 videos simultaneously at, say, 30fps (via FFMPEG perhaps)?
