Detailed Description

The PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame class provides a representation of a frame of video data.

A PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame encapsulates the data of a video frame, and information about the frame.

The contents of a video frame can be mapped to memory using the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame.map() function. While mapped the video data can accessed using the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame.bits() function which returns a pointer to a buffer, the total size of which is given by the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame.mappedBytes() , and the size of each line is given by PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame.bytesPerLine() . The return value of the PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame.handle() function may be used to access frame data using the internal buffer’s native APIs.

The video data in a PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame is encapsulated in a PySide.QtMultimedia.QAbstractVideoBuffer . A PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame may be constructed from any buffer type by subclassing the PySide.QtMultimedia.QAbstractVideoBuffer class.

Note

PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame is explicitly shared, any change made to video frame will also apply to any copies.

class PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame(other)
class PySide.QtMultimedia.QVideoFrame(bytes, size, bytesPerLine, format)
Parameters:

Constructs a null video frame.

Constructs a video frame from a buffer of the given pixel format and size in pixels.

Note

This doesn’t increment the reference count of the video buffer.

Constructs a video frame from an image .

Note

This will construct an invalid video frame if there is no frame type equivalent to the image format.

Constructs a copy of other .

Constructs a video frame of the given pixel format and size in pixels.

The bytesPerLine (stride) is the length of each scan line in bytes, and bytes is the total number of bytes that must be allocated for the frame.

Identifies if a video frame’s contents are currently mapped to system memory.

This is a convenience function which checks that the QAbstractVideoBuffer.MapMode of the frame is not equal to QAbstractVideoBuffer.NotMapped .

Returns true if the contents of the video frame are mapped to system memory, and false otherwise.

Note

The result of altering the data of a frame that is mapped in read-only mode is undefined. Depending on the buffer implementation the changes may be persisted, or worse alter a shared buffer.
