Case Studies

Latency improvement in embedded devices

The client’s system featured a digital microscope utilizing custom GStreamer filters to enhance video quality. However, enabling these filters introduced latency issues that impacted real-time performance. We analyzed the contribution of each filter to the overall pipeline delay and applied optimization techniques to reduce their processing time. Leveraging new NVIDIA® resource management and optimized internal color conversions, we successfully reduced pipeline latency by 20%, improving it from 37 ms to 30 ms.

Cutting latency with smarter pipelines

Optimizing custom CUDA filters for real-time performance

We optimized the custom CUDA filters integrated as GStreamer plugins to reduce their processing latency, resulting in a more efficient video pipeline.
