Documentationholoscan::ops::VideoStreamRecorderOp
Operator class to record a video stream to a file.
==Named Inputs==
nvidia::gxf::Tensor
A message containing a video frame to serialize to disk. The input tensor can be on either the CPU or GPU. This data location will be recorded as part of the metadata serialized to disk and if the data is later read back in via VideoStreamReplayerOp, the tensor output of that operator will be on the same device (CPU or GPU).
VideoStreamReplayerOp, the tensor output of that operator will be on the same device (CPU or GPU).==Parameters==
true. Optional (default: false).Inherits from: holoscan::Operator (public)
Define the operator specification.
Parameters
The reference to the operator specification.

This function is called when the fragment is initialized by Executor::initialize_fragment().
Implement the compute method.

The output context of the operator.
The execution context of the operator.
Implement the shutdown logic of the operator.
This method is called multiple times over the lifecycle of the operator according to the order defined in the lifecycle, and used for heavy deinitialization tasks such as deallocation of all resources previously assigned in start.

Get the current message label for a given input port.
This method retrieves the MessageLabel associated with data received on the specified input port. The MessageLabel contains timing and path information for data flow tracking.
This method should ideally be called after receiving data on the input port.
If the input_port_name is invalid (not found in the operator’s input ports), an error is logged and an empty MessageLabel is returned.
Returns: MessageLabel The current message label for the input port. Returns an empty MessageLabel if the port does not have a message label or if the port does not exist (logs an error in the latter case as well).
Throws: std::runtime_error If the operator backend is not GXF-compatible.
Throws: std::runtime_error If fragment is not set.
Throws: std::runtime_error If operator spec is not set.
Throws: std::runtime_error If fragment flow tracking is not enabled.
Parameters
The name of the input port.
Get a shared pointer to the dynamic metadata of this operator.
Note: currently this metadata dictionary is only active if explicitly enabled for the application by setting Fragment::is_metadata_enabled(true). When metadata is disabled the dictionary will not be populated by receive calls and will not be emitted on emit calls.
This metadata dictionary is always empty at the start of each compute call. It is populated by metadata received on input ports during InputContext::receive() calls and can be modified as desired by the operator during the compute call. Any metadata corresponding to this object will be sent on the output ports by any OutputContext::emit() calls.
Returns: The metadata dictionary for this operator.
Determine if metadata is enabled for this operator.
Returns: Boolean indicating if metadata is enabled (returns fragment()``->``is_metadata_enabled() if enable_metadata was not explicitly called for the operator.
Enable or disable metadata for this operator.
If this method has not been used to explicitly enable or disable metadata, the value for is_metadata_enabled() will be determined by Fragment::is_metadata_enabled() when the operator is initialized.
Parameters
Boolean indicating if metadata should be enabled.
Set the metadata update policy used by this operator.
The metadata policy determines how metadata is merged across multiple receive calls:
MetadataPolicy::kUpdate: Update the existing value when a key already exists.MetadataPolicy::kInplaceUpdate: Update the existing MetadataObject’s value in-place when a key already exists.MetadataPolicy::kReject: Do not modify the existing value if a key already exists.MetadataPolicy::kRaise: Raise an exception if a key already exists (default).Parameters
The metadata update policy to be used by this operator.
If no CudaStreamPool parameter or argument already exists, add a default one.
This method is available to be called by derived classes to add a default CudaStreamPool in This method is available to be called by derived classes to add a default CudaStreamPool inthe case that the user did not pass one in as an argument tomake_operator`.
This function will not add an additional CUDA stream pool if one was already passed in as an argument to make_operator (i.e. it is in resources_) or if a “cuda_stream_pool” parameter already exists in the operator spec.

This is the programmatic override path for topic-mapped ports and takes precedence over any lower-priority IOSpec::topic() default configured in setup().
Parameters
The output port to bind.

Optional QoS profile override. When nullopt, any QoS already configured on the port (e.g. in setup()) is preserved.
If true, replace an explicitly non-PubSub connector on this port with a Pub/Sub connector.

Returns: A shared pointer to a vector of FlowInfo objects representing the dynamic flows.
Locate a flow info in the operator’s next flows based on a given predicate.
Returns: Shared pointer to the matching FlowInfo, or nullptr if not found.
Parameters

Returns: A vector of shared pointers to the matching FlowInfo objects.
Parameters

Get the internal asynchronous condition for the operator.
Note: This object is only accessible after the executor has called Operator::initialize() via run() or run_async(). If accessed during Application::compose(), it will return nullptr.
Returns: A shared pointer to the internal asynchronous condition.
Stop the execution of the operator.
This method is used to stop the execution of the operator by setting the internal async condition to EVENT_NEVER state, which sets the scheduling condition to NEVER. Once stopped, the operator will not be scheduled for execution (the compute() method will not be called).
Note that executing this method does not trigger the operator’s stop() method. The stop() method is called only when the scheduler deactivates all operators together.
Get the ExecutionContext object.
Returns: The shared pointer to the ExecutionContext object.
Ensure the contexts (input/output/execution) for the operator.
This method is called by the GXFExecutor when the operator is initialized.
Internal method to clean up operator resources and prevent circular references.
This is an internal method called automatically by the GXFWrapper during operator shutdown (in GXFWrapper::stop() method). It resets std::shared_ptr fields and std::function objects such as input_exec_spec_, output_exec_spec_, next_flows_, dynamic_flows_, and dynamic_flow_func_ to break potential circular references between connected Operator objects.
This is an internal method that should never be called directly by user code. Improper use can lead to undefined behavior.

Returns: The vector of arguments.
Get a description of the component.
Returns: YAML string.

Register the argument setter for the given type.
If an operator or resource has an argument with a custom type, the argument setter must be registered using this method.
The argument setter is used to set the value of the argument from the YAML configuration.
This method can be called in the initialization phase of the operator/resource (e.g., initialize()). The example below shows how to register the argument setter for the custom type (Vec3):
It is assumed that YAML::convert<T>::encode and YAML::convert<T>::decode are implemented for the given type. You need to specialize the YAML::convert<> template class.
For example, suppose that you had a Vec3 class with the following members:
You can define the YAML::convert<Vec3> as follows in a ‘.cpp’ file:
Please refer to the yaml-cpp documentation for more details.
