Interface PiCapture SD1 with Nvidia Jetson Nano

[bjtomasic]

Trying to input analog component video to Jetson Nano using the CSI port. Was successfully able to get Raspberry Pi camera V2 to work. When trying to use PiCaptue SD 1 Camera shown as unavailable when running CSI-Camera “simple_camera.py”.

Thank you for posting your experience with Jetson. That is a configuration we have not tried. Unfortunately, your post with the error message can’t be seen – if you could post the message we can take a look and see if there is anything we can think of to resolve the issue.

Thanks for the additional detail. The SD1 outputs 640×480 (4:3) video, and I see that you have specified 1280×720 (16:9) as the resolution (which seems to be the default). It is important to make sure that the system is expecting the same resolution and format, and I would start there to resolve the error.
