Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the MATLAB Coder Support Package for NVIDIA Jetson and NVIDIA DRIVE Platforms add-on.

The Video Read block reads video frames from a multimedia file on the NVIDIA® target platform.

This block uses the GStreamer framework to handle data streaming. You can use the video formats supported by your installed plug-ins for GStreamer 1.0 or higher, as listed on Plugins.

Ports

Output

expand all

Color image or video frame, returned as an M-by-N-by-P array. M and N are the number of rows and columns in each image. P is the number of color channels in each image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Image signal parameter to One multidimensional signal.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32 | Simulink.ImageType

Red color component of the image or video frame, returned as an M-by-N matrix. M and N are the number of rows and columns in the image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Image signal parameter to Separate color signal.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32

Green color component of the image or video frame, returned as an M-by-N matrix. M and N are the number of rows and columns in the image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Image signal parameter to Separate color signal.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32

Blue color component of the image or video frame, returned as an M-by-N matrix. M and N are the number of rows and columns in the image.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Image signal parameter to Separate color signal.

Data Types: single | double | int8 | int16 | int32 | uint8 | uint16 | uint32

End-of-file indicator, returned as a logical scalar for each video frame. The end-of-file indicator is 1 when the block outputs the final video frame from the file, and is 0 otherwise.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Output end-of-file indicator parameter.

Data Types: Boolean

Parameters

To edit block parameters interactively, use the Property Inspector. From the Simulink® Toolstrip, on the Simulation tab, in the Prepare gallery, select Property Inspector.

General Parameters

Name of the multimedia file on the target for the block to read.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

To get the block parameter value programmatically, use the get_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: FileName
Values: ' ' (default) | character vector

Sample time for the block.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

To get the block parameter value programmatically, use the get_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: SampleTime
Values: 1/30 (default) | real positive scalar

Video Parameters

Resolution of the image or video frame, in pixels.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

To get the block parameter value programmatically, use the get_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: ImageSize
Values: '[640, 480]' (default) | [width, height]

How the block outputs the RGB color video. If you select One multidimensional signal, the block outputs the video data using only the Image port. If you select Separate color signal, the block outputs the video data using three separate color channels, divided across the R, G, and B ports.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

To get the block parameter value programmatically, use the get_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: ImageSignal
Values: 'One multidimensional signal' (default) | 'Separate color signal'

Select this parameter to enable the EOF port, which indicates whether the output frame or sample is the final video frame in the multimedia file.

Programmatic Use

To set the block parameter value programmatically, use the set_param (Simulink) function.

To get the block parameter value programmatically, use the get_param (Simulink) function.

Parameter: OutputEOFIndicator
Values: 'off' (default) | 'on'
