SoftwareReadableFrame

A frame whose pixels can be read, for the cases that genuinely need them: a screenshot, a software renderer of last resort, a video thumbnail strip.

This is not the render path. Every method here copies.

Properties

Link copied to clipboard

The closed captions this picture carried, the cc_data of its ATSC A/53 data, three bytes per caption pair, as broadcast H.264, HEVC and MPEG-2 carry them inside the video, or null when it carried none (#236). Read once by the engine as the frame leaves its decoder, so a decoder hands out frames in the order they are shown, which is the order the captions were written in.

The colour metadata a renderer must honour.

open val crop: PictureCrop?

The edges of the stored picture that are not part of the image, as its container states, or null when it states none (#497). See PictureCrop.

abstract val duration: Pts?

The decoder's own duration for this frame, when it has one.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract val generation: Generation

The epoch this frame belongs to. A frame from a superseded generation is never presented.

Link copied to clipboard

Set when the frame lives in GPU or hardware memory and needs a matching renderer.

Link copied to clipboard

The static HDR metadata of this frame, or of its stream when the frame carries none, or null. A renderer that tone maps reads the content's peak from it.

Link copied to clipboard
open val mirrored: Boolean

True when the display matrix also mirrors the picture, as a front camera can record it.

Link copied to clipboard

How the pixels are laid out in memory.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract val planeCount: Int

How many planes copyPlane can read.

Link copied to clipboard

The pixel format of the planes copyPlane reads.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract val pts: Pts

The media time at which this frame is shown.

Link copied to clipboard

Clockwise rotation a renderer applies before the picture is shown, in degrees.

Link copied to clipboard
open val sceneMaxNits: Float?

The brightest level of this frame's scene in nits, from dynamic HDR metadata that travels with the frame, such as Dolby Vision's level 1, or null when the frame carries none.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract val size: VideoSize

The size the frame is stored at, before rotationDegrees turns it.

Link copied to clipboard

The content peak a tone mapper rolls this frame off from, in nits: the scene's brightest level when the frame carries one between 100 and 10000 nits, held at most at the title's own peak, else the title's peak from VideoFrame.hdr, else null for the 1000 nits a PQ master is assumed to have.

Link copied to clipboard

The size of the picture this frame shows: VideoFrame.size with VideoFrame.crop's edges taken away, before the turn, which still swaps width and height for a renderer.

Functions

expect abstract fun close()
Link copied to clipboard
abstract fun copyPlane(index: Int, into: ByteArray, offset: Int = 0)

Copies plane index into into from offset: planeStride times planeHeight bytes.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract fun planeHeight(index: Int): Int

Rows in plane index. A subsampled chroma plane has fewer rows than the picture.

Link copied to clipboard
abstract fun planeStride(index: Int): Int

Bytes per row of plane index, which is at least the plane's width in bytes and usually more.
