Validation
After a successful compilation, we can test with Quadra cards.
Check Hardware.
With administrator privileges, open a Windows command terminal. Check the Quadra card presence with the following command:
wmic diskdrive get Name,SerialNumber,Model,Size
Initialize Quadra
With administrator privileges, open a Windows command terminal. Go to C:/msys64/usr/local/bin folder. Initialize the Quadra with the following command.
This process must keep running during transcoding
cd C:/msys64/usr/local/bin init_rsrc.exe
Run FFmpeg
With administrator privileges, open a Windows command terminal. Change to the C:/msys64/usr/local/bin folder. Run the following commands with ffmpeg.exe to perform transcoding.
The following examples use the clips folder C:/msys64/home/nvme/libxcoder/test. Update this path if you wish to run custom clips for decoding or encoding.
cd C:/msys64/usr/local/bin ffmpeg.exe
Test h264 decoder:
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -nostdin -vsync 0 -c:v h264_ni_quadra_dec -i C:/msys64/home/nvme/libxcoder/test/1280x720p_Basketball.264 -c:v rawvideo output_5.yuv
Test h265 decoder:
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -nostdin -vsync 0 -c:v h265_ni_quadra_dec -i C:/msys64/home/nvme/libxcoder/test/akiyo_352x288p25.265 -c:v rawvideo akiyo_352x288p25.yuv
Test h264 encoder:
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -nostdin -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s:v 352x288 -r 25 -i C:/msys64/home/nvme/libxcoder/test/akiyo_352x288p25.yuv -c:v h264_ni_quadra_enc output_7.h264
Test h265 encoder:
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -nostdin -f rawvideo -pix_fmt yuv420p -s:v 352x288 -r 25 -i C:/msys64/home/nvme/libxcoder/test/akiyo_352x288p25.yuv -c:v h265_ni_quadra_enc output_8.h265
Test 264->265 transcoder:
ffmpeg.exe -y -hide_banner -nostdin -vsync 0 -c:v h264_ni_quadra_dec -i C:/msys64/home/nvme/libxcoder/test/1280x720p_Basketball.264 -c:v h265_ni_quadra_enc output_9.h265
On Windows, params must be enclosed with double quotation marks.
For example:
-xcoder-params “out=hw”
Monitoring Load
Open a Windows command terminal with administrator privileges and change to directory
C:/msys64/usr/local/bin
Run the following command:
ni_rsrc_mon.exe
