All Implemented Interfaces:
AutoCloseable
Direct Known Subclasses:

public class VideoSource
extends Object
implements AutoCloseable
A source for video that provides a sequence of frames. Each frame may consist of multiple images (e.g. from a stereo or depth camera); these are called channels.

    • getKindFromInt

      public static VideoSource.Kind getKindFromInt​(int kind)
      Convert from the numerical representation of kind to an enum type.
      Parameters:
      kind - The numerical representation of kind
      Returns:
      The kind
    • close

      public void close()
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
    • isValid

      public boolean isValid()
    • getHandle

      public int getHandle()
    • equals

      public boolean equals​(Object other)
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
    • getKind

      Get the kind of the source.
      Returns:
      The kind of the source.
    • getName

      public String getName()
      Get the name of the source. The name is an arbitrary identifier provided when the source is created, and should be unique.
      Returns:
      The name of the source.
    • getDescription

      Get the source description. This is source-kind specific.
      Returns:
      The source description.
    • getLastFrameTime

      public long getLastFrameTime()
      Get the last time a frame was captured.
      Returns:
      Time in 1 us increments.
    • setConnectionStrategy

      Sets the connection strategy. By default, the source will automatically connect or disconnect based on whether any sinks are connected.

      This function is non-blocking; look for either a connection open or close event or call isConnected() to determine the connection state.

      Parameters:
      strategy - connection strategy (auto, keep open, or force close)
    • isConnected

      public boolean isConnected()
      Returns true if the source currently connected to whatever is providing the images.
      Returns:
      True if the source currently connected to whatever is providing the images.
    • isEnabled

      public boolean isEnabled()
      Gets source enable status. This is determined with a combination of connection strategy and the number of sinks connected.
      Returns:
      True if enabled, false otherwise.
    • getProperty

      public VideoProperty getProperty​(String name)
      Get a property.
      Parameters:
      name - Property name
      Returns:
      Property contents (of kind Property::kNone if no property with the given name exists)
    • enumerateProperties

      Enumerate all properties of this source.
      Returns:
      Array of video properties.
    • getVideoMode

      Get the current video mode.
      Returns:
      The current video mode.
    • setVideoMode

      public boolean setVideoMode​(VideoMode mode)
      Set the video mode.
      Parameters:
      mode - Video mode
      Returns:
      True if set successfully.
    • setVideoMode

      public boolean setVideoMode​(VideoMode.PixelFormat pixelFormat, int width, int height, int fps)
      Set the video mode.
      Parameters:

      Set the pixel format.
      Parameters:
      pixelFormat - desired pixel format
      Returns:
      True if set successfully
    • setResolution

    • setConfigJson

      public boolean setConfigJson​(String config)
      Set video mode and properties from a JSON configuration string.

      The format of the JSON input is:

       {
           "pixel format": "MJPEG", "YUYV", etc
           "width": video mode width
           "height": video mode height
