This section presents GStreamer pipelines to capture from MIPI CSI-2 and USB cameras and render the video to the display connected to the Orin. Key performance indicators are measured using three power profiles (operation modes). Check our GStreamer Pipelines section to find more information about how we extracted the performance metrics presented in this section.

MIPI CSI-2 Camera

For the pipelines in this section, we used the IMX477 camera.
