CVideoEncoderInfo Class Reference

class CVideoEncoderInfo : public CBase

This class contains information about a video encoder hardware device and its capabilities. Although it mainly contains static data, it is defined as a complete CBase-derived class since the data is relatively complex and proper memory management is necessary.

The objects are created by the encoder devices, and used by the MSL video client code.

const

Returns the data unit types supported by the encoder.

IMPORT_C TUint32

SupportedPictureOptions

(

)

const

Returns the input picture options that the encoder supports.

SupportsDirectCapture()

IMPORT_C TBool

SupportsDirectCapture

(

)

const

Returns whether the encoder supports direct capture. Encoders supporting direct capture can get the input pictures directly from a camera, possibly using an efficient hardware-dependent data path.

SupportsInputFormat(const TUncompressedVideoFormat &)

IMPORT_C TBool

SupportsInputFormat

(

const TUncompressedVideoFormat &

aFormat

)

const

Returns whether the encoder supports the given input format.

Parameters

const TUncompressedVideoFormat & aFormat

"The format to check."

SupportsOutputFormat(const CCompressedVideoFormat &)

IMPORT_C TBool

SupportsOutputFormat

(

const CCompressedVideoFormat &

aFormat

)

const

Returns whether the encoder supports the given output format.

Parameters

const CCompressedVideoFormat & aFormat

"The format to check."

SupportsPictureLoss()

IMPORT_C TBool

SupportsPictureLoss

(

)

const

Returns whether the encoder supports picture loss indications. If true, the encoder implements PictureLoss(), and recovers lost picture contents when it receives the indication.

SupportsSliceLoss()

IMPORT_C TBool

SupportsSliceLoss

(

)

const

Returns whether the encoder supports slice loss indications. If true, the encoder implements SliceLoss(), and recovers lost or damaged macroblocks when it receives the indication.

SupportsSupplementalEnhancementInfo()

IMPORT_C TBool

SupportsSupplementalEnhancementInfo

(

)

const

Returns whether the encoder implements SendSupplementalInfoL(). If SendSupplementalInfoL() is implemented, the client can send supplemental enhancement information messages as binary strings using that method. If SendSupplementalInfoL() is not implemented, this is not possible, but the encoder can still generate and send coding standard or implementation specific supplemental enhancement information automatically.

Uid()

IMPORT_C TUid

Uid

(

)

const

Returns the encoder UID.

Version()

IMPORT_C TVersion

Version

(

)

const

Returns the encoder version.
