# Camera and video encode

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/camera-and-video-encode.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/camera-and-video-encode.html)

The camera and video encode use cases demonstrate various scenarios for encoding and
        processing live 4K and 1080p camera streams.

Before you begin executing the use cases, ensure that you complete the preconditions
            mentioned in [Multimedia use cases](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/multimedia-use-cases.html).

The pipeline shows one 1080p stream taken from the camera and sent to encoder. The         encoded stream is sent over the network using RTSP streaming.
- **[Two streams – 4K AVC and 480p AVC from live source](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/two-streams-4k-avc-and-480p-avc-from-live-source.html)**  

The pipeline shows one 4k stream and one 1080p stream taken from the camera and sent         to encoder. Each encoded stream is multiplexed into a different file.
- **[Three 1080p AVC streams from live source](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/three-1080p-avc-streams-from-live-source.html)**  

The pipeline shows three 1080p streams taken from the camera and sent to encoder.         Each encoded stream is multiplexed into a different file.
- **[Three streams - 1080p AVC, 1080p HEVC, and 1080p YUV from live source](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/three-streams_1080p-avc-1080p-hevc-and-1080p-yuv-from-live-source.html)**  

The pipeline shows three 1080p stream taken from the camera. Two streams are sent to         encoder with one stream encoded as H.264 and the other as HEVC. These streams are         multiplexed into different files. The third stream is sent to display.
- **[Three streams - 1080p AVC MP4, 1080p AVC MPEGTS, and 1080p AVC MP4 from live source](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/three-streams-1080p-avc-mp4-1080p-avc-mpegts-and-1080p-avc-mp4-from-live-source.html)**  

The pipeline shows three 1080p streams taken from the camera and sent to encoder.         Each stream is encoded as H.264 and multiplexed – two as MP4 and one as MPEGTS into         different files.
- **[Three streams – 1080p AVC file save , 1080p AVC RTSP, and 1080p YUV from live source](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/three_streams-1080p-avc-file-save-1080p-avc-rtsp-and-1080p-yuv-from-live-source.html)**  

The pipeline shows three 1080p streams from the camera. Two are sent to encoder with         each stream encoded as H.264. The first stream is multiplexed and saved to a file. The         second stream is sent over network through RTSP streaming. The third stream is sent to         display.
- **[Three stream – 4K JPEG snapshot, 1080p AVC MP4, 1080p YUV from live source](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/three-stream_4k_jpeg_snapshot_1080p_avc_mp4_1080p_yuv_from_live_source.html)**  

The pipeline shows three streams taken from the camera. The first stream is a 4k         stream for JPEG snapshot. The second stream, a 1080p stream, is H.264 encoded and         multiplexed. The third 1080p stream is sent to display.
- **[Two stream - 1080p MJPEG encoder](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/1080p-mjpeg-encoder.html)**  

The MJPEG encoder encodes and writes the captured video stream in a MJPEG         format.
- **[Slice-based encoding](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-50/topic/slice-based-encoding.html)**  

With slice support for video encoding, the video stream is divided or sliced into         multiple separate sections so that you can encode them in parallel.
