Function Documentation

NvMediaVideoMixer* NvMediaVideoMixerCreate ( NvMediaDevice device,
NvMediaSurfaceType  surfaceType,
uint16_t  mixerWidth,
uint16_t  mixerHeight,
float_t  sourceAspectRatio,
uint16_t  videoWidth,
uint16_t  videoHeight,
uint32_t  features 
)

The principle job of the video mixer is to convert YUV data to RGB, and perform other post-processing at the same time, such as deinterlacing.

Parameters
[in]deviceThe device this video mixer will use.
[in]surfaceTypeSurface type of the input surface.
[in]mixerWidthVideo mixer width.
[in]mixerHeightVideo mixer height.
[in]sourceAspectRatioAspect ratio of the source video. This determines how the video is going to be presented on the output surface.
[in]videoWidthVideo width.
[in]videoHeightVideo height.
[in]featuresThis selects which features this NvMediaVideoMixer will support. This determines the internal scratch surfaces this function initially creates. At present, the following features are supported and may be OR'd together:
Returns
NvMediaVideoMixer The new video mixer's handle or NULL if unsuccessful.
void NvMediaVideoMixerDestroy ( NvMediaVideoMixer mixer)

Destroys a mixer created by NvMediaVideoMixerCreate.

Parameters
[in]mixerThe mixer to be destroyed.
NvMediaStatus NvMediaVideoMixerGetVersion ( NvMediaVersion version)

Returns the version information for the Video Mixer library.

Parameters
[in]versionA pointer to a NvMediaVersion structure filled by the Video Mixer library.
Returns
NvMediaStatus The status of the operation. Possible values are:
NvMediaStatus NvMediaVideoMixerRenderSurface ( NvMediaVideoMixer mixer,
NvMediaVideoSurface outputSurface,
NvMediaBackground background,
NvMediaVideoDesc video 
)

Performs a video post-processing and compositing operation to a surface.

Parameters
[in]mixerThe mixer object that will perform the mixing/rendering operation.
[in]outputSurfaceDestination surface.
[in]backgroundA background color or image. If set to any value other than NULL, the specific color or surface will be used as the first layer in the mixer's compositing process.
[in]videoVideo input descriptor structure.
Returns
NvMediaStatus Status of the mixing operation. Possible values are:
NvMediaStatus NvMediaVideoMixerRenderSurfaceWithAlpha ( NvMediaVideoMixer mixer,
NvMediaVideoSurface outputSurface,
NvMediaBackground background,
NvMediaVideoDesc video,
NvMediaAlphaSurface alpha 
)

Performs post-processing and compositing with alpha channel replacement.

More specifically, this function does the following:

  1. Performs video post-processing and composites to a surface. For more information, see NvMediaVideoMixerRenderSurface().
  2. Uses the alpha surface to replace the alpha channel in the output of step 1. If NVMEDIA_VMP_ATTR_DESTINATION_PREMULTIPLY_ALPHA is enabled, the output is pre-multiplied by the alpha surface.
Parameters
[in]mixerA pointer to the mixer object that performs the mixing/rendering operation.
[in]outputSurfaceA pointer to the destination surface. This surface type must obtained by /ref NvMediaSurfaceFormatGetType with NVM_SURF_FMT_SET_ATTR_RGBA(attr, RGBA, UINT, 8, PL/BL).
[in]backgroundA pointer to a background color or image. If set to any value other than NULL, the specific color will be used as the background layer.
[in]videoA pointer to the video descriptor structure. This function only supports progressive video.
[in]alphaA pointer to the alpha surface used to replace the alpha channel.
Returns
NvMediaStatus Status of the mixing operation. Possible values are:
void NvMediaVideoMixerSetAttributes ( NvMediaVideoMixer mixer,
uint32_t  attributeMask,
NvMediaVideoMixerAttributes attributes 
)

Sets NvMediaVideoMixer attributes.

Parameters
[in]mixerThe mixer object that will perform the mixing/rendering operation.
[in]attributeMaskDetermines which attributes are set. The value can be any combination of the binary OR of the following attributes:
[in]attributesA pointer to a structure that holds all the attributes but only those are used which are indicated in the attributeMask.
