Video Decoding MP4 Format

rachitjuthani · ‎2026-06-02

Hello,

I have an 1024x600 resolution 7 inch TFT screen.

I will be taking data from my GSM module and storing it in eMMC memory.

I want to display videos playing on the 7 inch display.

The raw frames even of 10sec becomes huge in size . So we are planning to use MP4 format. The size of the file reduces drastically. We want to decode these files and display the data.

If I am correct I should use H.264 decoder for this right?

Is there any ST MCU THAT CAN DO THIS?

We want the device to start quickly when powered. Is there any crossover series that has H.264 DECODER IN MCU itself will be useful.

Any suggestion are welcome.

Some ideas here: STM32F746G-DISCO, TouchGFX, play video ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
