Description
USB cameras are commonly used in desktops and laptops for streaming video or
participating in video conferences. Thus, USB is more or less the standard for
connecting a camera to a PC.
Linux allows to turn hardware that has a USB device controller (UDC), for example the
Rapsberry Pi 4, into a USB peripheral. The kernel provides a number of
different USB gadgets to implement various USB device classes. One of them is
the UVC (USB Video Class) gadget to implement an USB camera.
However, correctly configuring such a system and passing a video stream to the
USB gadget is not that easy. Fortunately, the new uvcsink element allows you to
easily stream an arbitrary GStreamer video pipelines into the UVC gadget and,
thus, to any USB host system.
Michael will show you how to prepare a system as a UVC gadget and stream video
data to an UVC host using a simple GStreamer pipeline like "gst-launch-1.0
videotestsrc ! uvcsink". He will also give some insight into the implementation
details of the uvcsink element.
