1.3. Known Issues

D3 Embedded is aware of the following issues with this release:

  • #24875 - nvarguscamerasrc defaults to 30fps instead of the sensor mode’s default framerate when framerate is not specified. This behavior can be worked around with a ghost pad such as ... ! "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), framerate=60/1" ! ...

  • #31691 - Argus fails to stream if a camera of a different format is already streaming on the same deserializer. V4L2 is unaffected.

  • #34290 - IMX728 frame_rate control works in Argus but not V4L2.

  • #34599 - IMX728 gain and exposure controls are not currently supported in HDR modes.
