Key Features:
-
Digital PTZR Emulation
Simulates camera movement with smooth digital transformations:-
Horizontal and vertical panning
-
Zoom in/out
-
Rotation of the image around its center
-
-
Runtime Configuration
All PTZR properties (position, scale, angle) can be adjusted dynamically using GStreamer. -
GPU-Accelerated Performance
Powered by OpenGL, enabling smooth, real-time transitions even on embedded hardware. -
No Mechanical Components Required
A software solution for motorless PTZ cameras and scene tracking applications.
Example Use Case:
A security system running on Qualcomm RB5 uses GstPTZR to digitally track motion within a 4K video feed, zooming into the subject and rotating the frame based on AI detection. All transformations happen in real time without needing any physical camera repositioning—saving cost, power, and space.
What’s Included:
-
GstPTZR GStreamer plugin
-
Example pipelines for PTZ emulation and integration
-
Developer documentation and runtime configuration guide
-
Optional 11-hour Embedded Software Support package
Supported Platforms:
-
NVIDIA Jetson (Nano, TX2, Xavier NX, AGX Orin)
-
Qualcomm RB5, RB6, C8550
-
NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8
-
x86-64 Linux with OpenGL 3+
-
Any embedded Linux platform with OpenGL ES 3

Customer Reviews
"As a side note: just to let you know, I'm really happy to be working with RidgeRun in general. It's pretty clear that you tell it like you see it, and know what you do and don't know; it's really refreshing. That's super rare on these kinds of technical engagements when everyone seems to either want to claim expertise they don't have, or are so cautious they are don't actually say anything useful"
