Designed and implemented the HEVC real-time encoding and transmission system on the NVIDIA embedded platform Jetson TX1. Using the Multimedia API provided by NVIDIA company, the video data in YUV420 format of 30 frame rate is collected from the CSI camera ov5693, and then the data is sent to the Tegra X1 hardware HEVC encoder to be encoded. The receiving and decoding programs is developed based on Gstreamer multimedia framework. Finally, we use the same YUV420 video data to feed into x265 encoder on PC (Intel core i5 3230M). The test results show that the system can realize real-time encoding and transmission of ultra high definition 4K video with a frame rate of 30, and under the same compression ratio, the encoding rate of the HEVC hardware encoder on the Tegra X1 is 2 orders of magnitude larger than the PC x265 encoder, and the PSNR is higher 4dB than the PC x265 encoder. It can be used in video surveillance, auxiliary driving and intelligent transportation.
