Spherical Video PTZ – Real-Time 360° Navigation with GPU Acceleration

RidgeRun’s Spherical Video PTZ plugin transforms immersive 360° equirectangular video into an interactive experience, providing real-time pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) functionality through GPU-accelerated image projection. Whether you’re building surveillance systems, robotic vision solutions, or VR media players, this GStreamer-based tool gives users the ability to explore panoramic video as if they were physically present—with minimal latency and high responsiveness.

Built for NVIDIA Jetson and x86 with NVIDIA dGPU, Spherical Video PTZ makes navigating live or recorded 360° content intuitive, smooth, and production-ready.

Key Features:

  • 360° to Rectilinear Projection
    Converts equirectangular (spherical) input into a flat, camera-like perspective in real time.

  • Real-Time PTZ Control
    Dynamically adjust view direction and zoom level while streaming or analyzing spherical video.

  • GPU-Accelerated Processing
    Leverages NVIDIA CUDA for efficient, low-latency rendering—even at high resolutions.

  • GStreamer Plugin and Library Integration
    Use via a GStreamer element or directly integrate through RidgeRun’s libpanorama for advanced control.

  • Optimized for Embedded Systems
    Supports performance-critical platforms for robotics, automotive, surveillance, and VR.

Example Use Case:

A robotic telepresence system uses RidgeRun’s Spherical Video PTZ plugin to provide operators with a 360° video stream from a remote robot. As the robot moves through a warehouse, the operator can dynamically pan, tilt, or zoom into any region of the video feed—giving them full situational awareness without needing to control the robot’s physical orientation. The system runs on a Jetson Xavier NX, taking advantage of CUDA acceleration to ensure real-time responsiveness.

What’s Included:

  • GStreamer plugin with PTZ control functionality

  • Standalone library (libpanorama) for deeper integration

  • Sample GStreamer pipelines and control examples

  • Optional 11-hour Embedded Software Support package

Supported Platforms:

  • NVIDIA Jetson Nano, TX2, Xavier NX, AGX Orin

  • x86-64 Linux with NVIDIA discrete GPUs (CUDA support)

  • Compatible with any system supporting CUDA-based acceleration and GStreamer
