simaaidecoder
This section talks about the GStreamer plugin named simaaidecoder.
Description
simaaidecoder
is used for decoding the incoming stream using Allegro Decoder
.
Supports the H.264 compression standards HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) with support for baseline/main/high profiles, 4:2:0 pixels and 8-bit precision. The
encoder supports rates up to 4KP30, while the decoder supports up to 4KP60.
The standalone configuration of plugin through its individual parameters.
The configuration manager method, which only needs the
config``and ``node-name
properties.
The SiMa.ai decoder plugin supports the following:

Config JSON Parameters
Config JSON is not needed for this plugin.
