Since we're using the Imperx unpack function, we can easily handle packed pixel formats. For performance reasons, we could always support packed pixel formats directly by adding new caps.

Image generation elements
- edtpdvsink: Video sink for EDT PDV Camera Link simulator
- gigesimsink: Video sink for A&B Soft GigESim GigE Vision simulator
Other elements
- sfx3dnoise: Applies 3D noise to video
- videolevels: Scales monochrome 8- or 16-bit video to 8-bit, via manual setpoints or AGC
Dependencies
- GStreamer 1.2.x
- Specific frame grabber SDKs and/or licenses
Installation
- Install GStreamer 1.2.x or newer (latest should work)
- Build project or download a release from Github (ZIP files under Assets)
- Extract files somewhere
- Create an environment variable
GST_PLUGIN_PATHthat points to where you extracted the files
Examples
Capture from a CoaXPress camera via a Kaya Komodo frame grabber, apply AGC to convert it to 8-bit monochrome, then output the video via A&B Software GigESim which generates GigE Vision video:
gst-launch-1.0 kayasrc ! videolevels auto=continuous ! gigesimsink
Then in another command capture the GigE Vision video via Pleora eBUS and display the video to the screen:
gst-launch-1.0 pleorasrc ! autovideoconvert ! autovideosink
