mkstill

The mkstill command is used to convert a static picture into a file containing an encoded single H.264 GOP sequence. This is required in order to configure a Makito X stream with a static image that will replace the “real” video stream when streaming is paused.

The supported source formats for the static image are BMP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF. The supported output resolutions are 1920x1080, 1280x720, 720x480 (NTSC), and 720x576 (PAL).

Note

The maximum size of the source image is 2048x2048 pixels.

The resulting still image files are stored on the Makito X file system under /usr/share/haivision/still_images.
