4K Timelapse Resolution still HD ?

I have a RPi3 connected with a Logitech Brio 4K Webcamera, and that all works OK.
I have set the resolution to be 4K in the camera setup i.e. 3840 x 2160 but the JPEG's being shot during a timelaps are still just 1920 x 1080 ?

Any ideas where I need to look etc ?

  • The brio needs to be connected to USB3 (not sure if USB3 was added in pi 3 or 4, you see it when plastic is blue on 2 ports) or it will only deliver full HD as max. resolution hardware side, so maybe that is the reason?

    Please with that resolution reduce framerate to 5FPS or you get issues with amount of data as MJPG stream.

    it was connected to USB3 - Will reduce framerate and re-test etc.
  • How did you do that? According to
    https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/
    pi 3 has only 4 USB2 ports. Using a usb3 switch will downgrade it therefore to USB2.
  • good point, I will rebuild on a Pi4 - I have several around the house !
  • Just switch sd card:-)
  • So I put the latest image on an SD card, set it up with my Pi4, plugged the Brio in to 1 of the blue USB3 sockets.

    Under Printer Settings, webcam I have the resolution set to 4096x2160 and 1FPS

    Now printing and taking images at 1920 x 1080 :-( 
  • FYI running sudo /usr/local/Repetier-Setup/bin/startAllCams

    I get ...


    Start from directory /usr/local/Repetier-Setup/bin

    Testing for active webcams in /dev/v4l/by-path/*

    Best resolution: 4096 x 2160 at 5

    ./watchedCam 8080 /dev/video0 5 4096x2160 

    Webcam does not support MJPG - using slower YUYV instead!

  • I'm quite sure the brio does support mjpg but I have to wait for monday when I'm at the office where we have a brio.
  • Yeh thats my conclusion, it doesnt support mjpg so will only work at 1920 x 1080 ?
    So if I want to shoot 4K timelapse I will need a different camera ?

  • But is supports mjpg. In your output you see

    So will see tomorrow how it behaves with new image now.

  • Please do as I can't work out how to get it to shoot stills at 4k - which is all I want to do for timelapse recording.
  • Checking on my pi I see
    pi@RepetierServer:~ $ ps aux | grep mjpg
    root     28916  3.7  0.9 161288 73580 ?        Sl   07:45   0:02 /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i /usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/input_uvc.so -d /dev/video2 --fps 15 -q 85 -r 4096x2160  -o /usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/output_http.so -p 8081 -w /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer/www

    and still image is 4k. But the webcam is a bit difficult as it seems not to change as wanted. We needed to remove and reinsert usb plug to use new settings. And often on reboot we also need to reconnect it to work.

    The message 
    Webcam does not support MJPG - using slower YUYV instead!
    is independent of that cam. It comes from a test of other listed video devices. When process is listed with input_uvc module it uses mjpg.
  • ah ok, let me try this out and see if i get similar
