KNOWN ISSUES

Sl.No. |
SDOCM ID |
Description |
Issues/Workaround |
|
1 |
SDOCM00058962 |
JPEG Image Encode -
when qfactor above 96 is used, jpeg compressed
output is incorrect |
The documentation
says Q factor till 100 is supported. But when system test used high Q
factor (97 to 100) for boundary condition testing, the images are distorted.
The documentation regarding q factor
has to be corrected. |
|
2 |
SDOCM00058964 |
JPEG Image Encode -
bottom part of output for 88x72 422p images for is incorrect |
The codec user guide
mentions "arbitrary size allowed", documentation needs to be
corrected accordingly. |
|
3 |
SDOCM00059735 |
The g711enc and g711dec
RTSC packages share a common symbol (mentioned below). When a codec server is
built with both the libraries, the below warning is seen. Warning 1 >>
package/cfg/bin/cs_x64P.xdl, line 313: warning: multiple definitions of
SECTION named '.const:_G711_TII_CODER_version' |
This does not impact
any functionality of G711. This can be safely ignored. |
