Abstract:In order to solve the problems such as video information redundancy, high cost of video transmission system, low efficiency of video codec and other defects, a video transmission system based on H.264 hard codec is studied;The system adopts S3C6410 which based on the ARM11 core and includes a multimedia hard codec MFC as the processor, uses CMOS camera to collect real-time data, a live555 RTSP server is built on the embedded Linux operating system to listen to client requests;This paper focuses on the H.264 hardware compression coding of the multimedia hard codec MFC and the RTP encapsulation of the data packet, and then forwards it to the PC via the live555 streaming media server.Finally, the received data stream is decoded on the PC , after testing, the video transmission system is stable and reliable with strong scalability, high performance, low cost, low power consumption and other advantages.it can effectively achieve real-time video transmission, image quality and video delay can meet the application requirements.
