Typedef Documentation

Defines instance status parameters.

@remarks This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters.  The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the @c size parameter.
Remarks:
The size field must be correctly set by the caller. See https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Extending_data_structures_in_XDM for more details.
@remarks    All fields correspond to latest IVIDDEC1_Fxns::process() call
            on the particular instance of the decoder.

@sa         IVIDDEC1_Fxns::control()

Opaque handle to a VIDDEC1 codec.

This structure defines the parameters necessary to create an instance of a Video Decoder object.

Defines the input arguments for all IVIDDEC1 instance process function.

@remarks This structure may be extended by individual codec implementations allowing customization with vendor specific parameters.  The presence of vendor specific extensions will be detected by the value of the @c size parameter.
Remarks:
The size field must be correctly set by the caller. See https://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Extending_data_structures_in_XDM for more details.
@sa         IVIDDEC1_Fxns::process()

Defines the run time output arguments for all IVIDDEC1 instance objects.

This structure defines the codec parameters that can be modified after creation via control() calls.

@remarks    It is not necessary that a given implementation support all
            dynamic parameters to be configurable at run time.  If a
            particular algorithm does not support run-time updates to
            a parameter that the application is attempting to change
            at runtime, it may indicate this as an error.

Function Documentation

VIDDEC1_Handle VIDDEC1_create ( Engine_Handle  e,
String  name,
VIDDEC1_Params params 
)

Create an instance of a video decoder algorithm.

Instance handles must not be concurrently accessed by multiple threads;
each thread must either obtain its own handle (via VIDDEC1_create) or
explicitly serialize access to a shared handle.

@param[in]  e       Handle to an opened engine.
@param[in]  name    String identifier of the type of video decoder
                    to create.
@param[in]  params  Creation parameters.

@retval     NULL            An error has occurred.
@retval     non-NULL        The handle to the newly created video decoder
                            instance.

@remarks    @c params is optional.  If it's not supplied, codec-specific
            default params will be used.

@remark     Depending on the configuration of the engine opened, this
            call may create a local or remote instance of the video
            decoder.

@remarks In general, @c name is the name of the codec configured by the system integrator. However, an optional "argument string" may be appended to the codec name, to allow the codec's configured priority and/or the heaps where its memory will be allocated, to be overridden.  This optional argument string is of the form <b>":priority"</b>, <b>":priority:flag"</b>, or <b>"::flag"</b>.
Remarks:
priority is the new priority to create the codec with.
The flag must be either 0 or 1, and if 1, all memory allocated for the codec will be in the heap that corresponds to IALG_EXTERNAL. If flag is 0, the memory for the codec will be allocated from the heaps it has requested. For example, if a codec named "mp3" has been configured into the system, setting name to "mp3:4" would cause the codec to be created at priority 4, instead of whatever priority was configured. This feature is useful if more than one instance of the codec are to be created at different priorities.
The flag can be used to prevent the codec from using any internal memory, for example, if it is to be run at the same time as another codec that must use internal memory, and there is insufficient internal memory for both.
@sa         Engine_open()
@sa         VIDDEC1_delete()
Int32 VIDDEC1_process ( VIDDEC1_Handle  handle,
XDM1_BufDesc inBufs,
XDM_BufDesc outBufs,
VIDDEC1_InArgs inArgs,
VIDDEC1_OutArgs outArgs 
)

Execute the process() method in this instance of a video decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created video decoder instance.
[in]inBufsA buffer descriptor containing input buffers.
[out]outBufsA buffer descriptor containing output buffers.
[in]inArgsInput Arguments.
[out]outArgsOutput Arguments.
Precondition:
handle is a valid (non-NULL) video decoder handle and the video decoder is in the created state.
Return values:
VIDDEC1_EOKSuccess.
VIDDEC1_EFAILFailure.
VIDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTEDUnsupported request.
Remarks:
Since the VIDDEC1 decoder contains support for asynchronous buffer submission and retrieval, this API becomes known as synchronous in nature.
This is a blocking call, and will return after the data has been decoded.
The buffers supplied to VIDDEC1_process() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.

Int32 VIDDEC1_control ( VIDDEC1_Handle  handle,
VIDDEC1_Cmd  id,
VIDDEC1_DynamicParams params,
VIDDEC1_Status status 
)

Execute the control() method in this instance of a video decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created video decoder instance.
[in]idCommand id for XDM control operation.
[in]paramsRuntime control parameters used for decoding.
[out]statusStatus info upon completion of decode operation.
Precondition:
handle is a valid (non-NULL) video decoder handle and the video decoder is in the created state.
Return values:
VIDDEC1_EOKSuccess.
VIDDEC1_EFAILFailure.
VIDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTEDUnsupported request.
Remarks:
This is a blocking call, and will return after the control command has been executed.
If an error is returned, status->extendedError may indicate further details about the error. See VIDDEC1_Status::extendedError for details.

Void VIDDEC1_delete ( VIDDEC1_Handle  handle)

Delete the instance of a video decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created video decoder instance.
Remarks:
Depending on the configuration of the engine opened, this call may delete a local or remote instance of the video decoder.
Precondition:
handle is a valid (non-NULL) handle which is in the created state.
Postcondition:
All resources allocated as part of the VIDDEC1_create() operation (memory, DMA channels, etc.) are freed.

XDAS_Int32 VIDDEC1_processAsync ( VIDDEC1_Handle  handle,
XDM1_BufDesc inBufs,
XDM_BufDesc outBufs,
VIDDEC1_InArgs inArgs,
VIDDEC1_OutArgs outArgs 
)

Perform asynchronous submission to this instance of a video decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created video decoder instance.

Return values:
VIDDEC1_EOKSuccess.
VIDDEC1_EFAILFailure.
VIDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTEDUnsupported request.
Remarks:
This API is the asynchronous counterpart to the process() method. It allows for buffer and argument submission without waiting for retrieval. A response is retrieved using the VIDDEC1_processWait() API.
The buffers supplied to VIDDEC1_processAsync() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.

VIDDEC1_EFAILFailure.
VIDDEC1_EUNSUPPORTEDUnsupported request.
VIDDEC1_ETIMEOUTOperation timed out.
Remarks:
This is a blocking call, and will return after the data has been decoded.
"Polling" is supported by using a timeout of 0. Waiting forever is supported by using a timeout of VIDDEC1_FOREVER.
There must have previously been an invocation of the VIDDEC1_processAsync() API.
The buffers supplied to VIDDEC1_processAsync() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.
