I'm reading a v4l2 format input video with pixel format gray16le from a USB camera connected to my computer. I can display it without problems.



My question is that I want to read that video with ffmpeg (on /dev/video0) and stream it to a websocket. If I read a "normal" rgb video, this is the command that I'm using to accomplish it:



ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -framerate 9 -c:v mpeg1video -f mpegts https://......


When I try to read from the gray16le format camera, I've tried lots of commands but the output is always in grayscale. For example:



ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -framerate 9 -pix_fmt yuyv422 -c:v mpeg1video -f mpegts https://......
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -framerate 9 -pix_fmt rgb24 -c:v mpeg1video -f mpegts https://......


Is there an option in ffmpeg to apply a colormap or a LUT to the input video before streaming it?



Thanks!

  • You can convert grayscale to RGB. But the gray-scale has single value of brightness. So, when converting to RGB the single value is repeated 3 times. That's why I don't think so that's possible!
