Video Rotation - themactep/thingino-firmware GitHub Wiki

Video rotation is a software-based feature available in Thingino with limited platform support. Currently, rotation functionality is only available on T31 platform devices.

Platform Support

• T31 - Supported (Limited)
• Xburst 2 - Planned future support
• Others - Not supported

Note: Full support is planned for Xburst 2 targets in the future.

Configuration

Video rotation can be manually enabled by editing the Prudynt configuration file. Rotation configuration is not currently supported in the Web-UI.

Configuration Parameters

rotation
  Default: 0
  Options: 
    - 0: No rotation
    - 1: 90 degrees clockwise
    - 2: 270 degrees clockwise (90 degrees counter-clockwise)
  Description: Software rotation of the video stream

⚠️ Important: Rotation is ONLY supported on T31 platform

Technical Requirements

Memory Requirements

• Video rotation is performed in software by the Ingenic libimp library
• Increased RMEM required: You must increase rmem allocation to accommodate the rotation processing
• Minimum RAM: Rotation does not perform well on SoCs with less than 128MB of memory

Resolution Alignment

• The rotated resolution must be 16-bit aligned
• This alignment requirement is critical for proper operation

Limitations

1. Software-based rotation (not hardware accelerated)
2. Increased memory consumption
3. Performance impact on lower-spec devices
4. Limited to T31 platform currently
5. Not recommended for devices with < 128MB RAM
