Raspberry Pi camera sources¶

kind = RPICam — captures video from a Raspberry Pi camera module using the rpicamsrc GStreamer element. This source is video-only; use a separate PulseAudio sources or ALSA sources source for audio.

Configuration options¶

device

Camera device node. Default: /dev/video0.

width

Capture width in pixels. Default: 1920.

height

Capture height in pixels. Default: 1080.

format

Pixel format. Default: YUY2.

framerate

Capture frame rate as numerator/denominator. Default: 25/1.

type

GStreamer media type string. Default: video/x-raw.

crop

Crop the captured frame, given as four space-separated pixel values: bottom left right top. Omit to disable cropping.

Example: crop = 8 0 0 0 removes 8 pixels from the bottom.

annotation

Enable camera annotation mode (e.g. burn-in timestamp). Passed directly to the annotation-mode property of rpicamsrc. Example: annotation = time

Example¶

[mix]
sources = cam1

[source.cam1]
kind = RPICam
width = 1920
height = 1088
crop = 8 0 0 0
framerate = 25/1
format = I420
type = video/x-raw
annotation = time
