QVideoSurfaceFormat

Synopsis

Functions

Detailed Description

The PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat class specifies the stream format of a video presentation surface.

A video surface presents a stream of video frames. The surface’s format describes the type of the frames and determines how they should be presented.

The core properties of a video stream required to setup a video surface are the pixel format given by PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.pixelFormat() , and the frame dimensions given by PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.frameSize() .

If the surface is to present frames using a frame’s handle a surface format will also include a handle type which is given by the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.handleType() function.

The region of a frame that is actually displayed on a video surface is given by the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.viewport() . A stream may have a viewport less than the entire region of a frame to allow for videos smaller than the nearest optimal size of a video frame. For example the width of a frame may be extended so that the start of each scan line is eight byte aligned.

Other common properties are the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.pixelAspectRatio() , PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.scanLineDirection() , and PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.frameRate() . Additionally a stream may have some additional type specific properties which are listed by the dynamicPropertyNames() function and can be accessed using the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.property() , and PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.setProperty() functions.

Return type:PySide.QtCore.qreal

Returns the frame rate of a video stream in frames per second.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.frameSize()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.QSize

Returns the size of frames in a video stream.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.frameWidth()

Returns the width of frames in a video stream.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.handleType()
Return type:PySide.QtMultimedia.QAbstractVideoBuffer.HandleType

Returns the type of handle the surface uses to present the frame data.

If the handle type is QAbstractVideoBuffer.NoHandle buffers with any handle type are valid provided they can be mapped with the QAbstractVideoBuffer.ReadOnly flag. If the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.handleType() is not QAbstractVideoBuffer.NoHandle then the handle type of the buffer be the same as that of the surface format.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.isValid()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Identifies if a video surface format has a valid pixel format and frame size.

Returns true if the format is valid, and false otherwise.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.__ne__(format)
Parameters:formatPySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if other is different to a video format, and false if they are the same.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.__eq__(format)
Parameters:formatPySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if other is the same as a video format, and false if they are the different.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.pixelAspectRatio()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.QSize

Returns a video stream’s pixel aspect ratio.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.pixelFormat()
Return type:PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame.PixelFormat

Returns the pixel format of frames in a video stream.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.property(name)
Parameters:name – str

Returns the value of the video format’s name property.

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoSurfaceFormat.propertyNames()
