1 - REST API v2

The following is a rendering of the OpenAPI for the Agile Live System Controller using Swagger. It does not have a backend server, so it cannot be run interactively.

This API is available from the server at the base URL /api/v2.

2 - Agile Live Rendering Engine command documentation

This page describes all the commands available in the Agile Live Rendering Engine.

Command protocol

All commands to the Agile Live Rendering Engine is sent as human readable strings and are listed below. The Rendering Engine expect no line termination, meaning that you do not need to append any type of new line (\n) characters, or string termination (\0) characters.

Video commands

Background

The data path of the video mixer in the Rendering Engine looks as follows:

There are eight different node types used in this mixer.

• The Transition node is used to pick which input slots to use for the program and preview output. The node also supports making transitions between the program and preview.
• The Select node simply forwards one of the available sources to its output.
• The Transform node takes one input stream and transforms it (scaling and translating) to one output stream.
• The Alpha combine node is used to pick two input slots (or the same input slot) to copy the color from one input and combine it with some information from the other input to form the alpha. The color will just be copied from the color input frame, but there are several modes that can be used to produce the alpha channel in the output frame in different ways. This is known as “key & fill” in broadcasting.
• The Alpha over node is used to perform an “Alpha Over” operation, that is to put the overlay video stream on top of the background video stream, and let the background be seen through the overlay depending on the alpha of the overlay. The node also features fading the graphics in and out by multiplying the alpha channel by a constant factor.
• The Chroma Key node takes one input stream, and by setting appropriate parameters for the keying, it will remove areas with the key color from the incoming video stream both affecting the alpha and color channels
• The Fade to black node takes one input stream, which it can fade to or from black gradually, and then outputs that stream.
• The Output node has one input stream and will output that stream out from the video mixer, back to the Rendering Engine

There are six different flows into this mixer. There is the one starting with the Transition node, which represents the main program that is being produced. Overlaying on top of that is one key+fill graphics overlay (starting with an Alpha Combine node which can combine two video inputs with key form one and fill from another, or both from the same source), then there is a chroma key overlay, which can be used to add green screen effects (Starting with a Select node), then there are two instances of picture-in-picture flows (also starting with select nodes) and on top of that another graphics overlay, called HTML graphics in the illustration, but which can be used with any source where the key and fill comes from the same source. The overlay flows are inserted into the main program using Alpha over nodes.

Each video command in the Rendering Engine command protocol targets one of these nodes.

Transitions

The main flow of the video mixer can be controlled with the following commands:

• transition cut <input_slot> - Cut (hot punch) the program output to the given input slot. This won’t affect the preview output.
• transition preview <input_slot> - Preview the given input slot. This won’t affect the program output.
• transition cut - Cut between the current program and preview outputs, effectively swapping their place.
• transition panic <input_slot> - Cut (hot punch) both the preview and program output to the given input slot.

Some transition commands last over a duration of time, for example wipes. These can be performed either automatically or manually. The automatic mode works by the operator first selecting the type of transition, for instance a fade, setting the preview to the input slot to fade to and then trigger the transition at the right time with a set duration for the transition. In manual mode the exact “position” of the transition is set by the control panel. This is used for implementing T-bars, where the T-bar repeatedly sends the current position of the bar. In the manual mode, the transition type is set before the transition begins, just as in the automatic mode. Note that an automatic transition will be overridden in case the transition “position” is manually set, by interrupting the automatic transition and jumping to the manually set position.

• transition type <type> - Set the transition type to use for transitions hereafter. Valid modes are:
  • fade - Fade (mix) from one source to the next
  • wipe_left - Wipe from one source to the next, wipe going from right side of the screen to the left
  • wipe_right - Wipe from one source to the next, wipe going from left side of the screen to the right
• transition auto <duration_ms> - Perform an automatic transition from the current program output to the current preview output, lasting for <duration_ms> milliseconds. The currently set transition type is used.
• transition factor <factor> - Manually set the position/factor of the transition. <factor> should be between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 is the value before the transition starts and 1.0 is the end of the transition. Note that setting this value to 1.0 will effectively swap place of program and preview output, resetting the transition factor to 0.0 internally. Control panels using this command must take this into consideration to not cause a sudden jump in the transition once the physical control is moved again. Sending this command will interrupt any ongoing automatic transition.

Key and fill

The key and fill graphics flow will be inserted before the picture-in-picture flows, and will therefore be rendered under them. The graphics flow can be controlled with these commands:

• alpha_combine color <input_slot> - Set which input slot to copy the color data from in the Alpha combine node
• alpha_combine alpha <input_slot> - Set which input slot to use to create the alpha channel of the output frame in the Alpha combine node
• alpha_combine mode <mode> - Set which way the alpha channel of the output frame will be produced. Valid modes are:
  • copy-r - Copy the R-channel of the input “alpha frame” and use it as alpha for the output
  • copy-g - Copy the G-channel of the input “alpha frame” and use it as alpha for the output
  • copy-b - Copy the B-channel of the input “alpha frame” and use it as alpha for the output
  • copy-a - Copy the A-channel of the input “alpha frame” and use it as alpha for the output
  • average-rgb - Take the average of the R, G and B channels of the input “alpha frame” and use it as alpha channel for the output
• alpha_over factor <factor> - Manually set the transparency multiplier for the Alpha over node. The value <factor> should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 means that the overlay is completely invisible and 1.0 means that the overlay is fully visible (where it should be visible according to the overlay image’s alpha channel). Default is 0.0.
• alpha_over fade to <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully visible overlay over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.
• alpha_over fade from <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully invisible overlay over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.

Picture-in-Picture

The two picture-in-picture boxes can be controlled with these commands:

• pip1_select cut <input_slot> - Choose which input slot to forward. Changing looks like a cut.
• pip1_transform scale <factor> - Set the scale of the picture-in-picture box, relative the original size. Parameter factor must be > 0. Default is 1.0.
• pip1_transform x <position> - Set the X offset of the top left corner of the picture-in-picture box, relative the top left corner of the frame. Position is measured in percent of frame width, where 0.0 is the left side of the frame and 1.0 is the right side of the frame. Values outside of the range 0, 1 are valid. Default is 0.0.
• pip1_transform y <position> - Set the Y offset of the top left corner of the picture-in-picture box, relative the top left corner of the frame. Position is measured in percent of frame height, where 0.0 is the top of the frame and 1.0 is the bottom of the frame. Values outside of the range 0, 1 are valid. Default is 0.0.
• pip1_alpha_over factor <factor> - Manually set the transparency multiplier for the picture-in-picture 1 Alpha over node. The value <factor> should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 means that the picture-in-picture box is completely invisible and 1.0 means that the box is fully visible. Default is 0.0.
• pip1_alpha_over fade to <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully visible picture-in-picture box over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.
• pip1_alpha_over fade from <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully invisible picture-in-picture box over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.

For the second picture-in-picture flow, replace pip1 with pip2.

Chroma Key

The nodes of the chroma key branch of the graph can be controlled with these commands:

• chroma_key_select cut <input_slot> - Choose which input slot to forward. Changing looks like a cut.
• chroma_key r <value> - Set the red component of the chroma key color. Should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0.
• chroma_key g <value> - Set the green component of the chroma key color. Should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0.
• chroma_key b <value> - Set the blue component of the chroma key color. Should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0.
• chroma_key distance <value> - Set the distance parameter, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, telling how far from the key color is also considered a part of the key. Larger values will result in more colors being included, 0.0 means only the exact key color is considered.
• chroma_key falloff <value> - Set the falloff parameter, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, which makes edges smoother. A lower value means harder edges between the key color and the parts to keep, a higher value means a more smooth falloff between removed and kept parts.
• chroma_key spill <value> - Set the color spill reduction parameter, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, which will desaturate the key color in the parts of the image that are left. Useful for hiding green rims around objects in from of a green screen etc. 0.0 means off and a higher value means more colors further away from the chroma key color will be desaturated.
• chroma_key color_picker <x_factor> <y_factor> <square_size> - Set the chroma key by sampling the pixels covered by the square area of size square_size x square_size. The position x,y is set by <x_factor> * width of video and <y_factor> * height of video. <x_factor> & <y_factor> should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0. The <square_size> should be an integer > 0.0.
• chroma_key alpha_as_video <value> - Instead of writing an alpha mask, set the alpha value as the RGB value, creating a grayscale image of the mask. Value should be 0.0 or 1.0.

Position is measured in percent of frame width, where 0.0 is the left side of the frame and 1.0 is the right side of the frame. Values outside of the range 0.0, 1.0 are valid. Default is 0.0.
• chroma_key_transform y <position> - Set the Y offset of the top left corner of the chroma key output, relative the top left corner of the frame. Position is measured in percent of frame height, where 0.0 is the top of the frame and 1.0 is the bottom of the frame. Values outside of the range 0.0, 1.0 are valid. Default is 0.0.
• chroma_key_alpha_over factor <factor> - Manually set the transparency multiplier for the chroma key Alpha over node. The value <factor> should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 means that the chroma key output is completely invisible and 1.0 means that the chroma key output is fully visible. Default is 0.0.
• chroma_key_alpha_over fade to <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully visible chroma key output over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.
• chroma_key_alpha_over fade from <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully invisible chroma key output over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.

Graphics overlay (HTML)

The overlay graphics flow, marked with HTML in the illustration. This will be inserted on top of both the key and fill and picture-in-picture. It can be controlled with these commands:

• html_select cut <input_slot> - Choose which input slot to use for the graphics. It must contain both fill and key (such as the HTML graphics), otherwise, no parts of the layer will be transparent. Changing looks like a cut.
• html_alpha_over factor <factor> - Manually set the transparency multiplier for the graphics overlay Alpha over node. The value <factor> should be a float between 0.0 and 1.0, where 0.0 means that the graphics is completely invisible and 1.0 means that it is fully visible. Default is 0.0.
• html_alpha_over fade to <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully visible graphics over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.
• html_alpha_over fade from <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade from the current factor to a fully invisible graphics over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.

Fade to black

The fade to black node can be controlled via the following commands:

• fade_to_black factor <factor> - Manually set the blackness factor on a scale from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 means not black and 1.0 means fully black output.
• fade_to_black fade to <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade to a fully black output over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.
• fade_to_black fade from <duration_ms> - Start an automatic fade to a fully visible (non-black) output over the duration of <duration_ms> milliseconds.

Audio Router commands

The same audio router is used to route specific audio channels from an input slot of the Rendering Engine to an input channel strip on the audio mixer. By default, it has no audio routes set up. The router can be controlled with the following commands:

• audio map <input_slot> <channel> mono <input_strip> - Map the <channel> from input slot <input_slot> as a mono channel into input strip <input_strip> of the audio mixer
• audio map <input_slot> <left_channel> stereo <input_strip> - Map the <left_channel> and <left_channel> + 1 from input slot <input_slot> as a stereo pair into input strip <input_strip> of the audio mixer ’ audio map reset <input_strip> - Remove the current mapping from <input_strip> of the audio mixer.

Audio commands

The audio mixer and audio router have the following data path:

In the example picture above, three sources are connected to the input slots and four mono or stereo audio streams are picked as input to the audio mixer. The audio mixer is completely separate from the video mixer, so switching image in the video mixer will not change the audio mixer in any way. The internal audio mixer can be controlled using the following commands:

To control the pre-gain of each input strip use:

• audio gain <input_strip> <level_dB> - Set the pre-gain level of a specific input in dB. Parameter <level> should be a floating point number. Default is 0.0.

To control the low-pass filter of each input strip use:

• audio lpf <input_strip> freq <value> - Set the cutoff frequency for the low-pass filter in an input strip. <value> is the frequency in Hz as a floating point number. The frequency range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Setting a value of 20 kHz or higher will bypass the filter.
• audio lpf <input_strip> q <value> - Set the q-value for the low-pass filter in an input strip. The q-value controls the steepness of cutoff curve with a higher value being a steeper slope. The value is a floating point number ranging from 0.4 to 6.0. The default value is 0.7.

To control the high-pass filter of each input strip use:

• audio hpf <input_strip> freq <value> - Set the cutoff frequency for the high-pass filter in an input strip. <value> is the frequency in Hz as a floating point number. The frequency range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Setting a value of 20 Hz or lower will bypass the filter.
• audio hpf <input_strip> q <value> - Set the q-value for the high-pass filter in an input strip. The q-value controls the steepness of cutoff curve with a higher value being a steeper slope. The value is a floating point number ranging from 0.4 to 6.0. The default value is 0.7.

To control the parametric equalizer of each input strip use (the equalizer has three bands):

• audio eq <input_strip> <band> freq <value> - Set the frequency of a specific band in the parametric equalizer. Here <band> is a zero based index of the band, where 0 is the first band with the lowest frequency. <value> is a floating point number with the frequency in Hz
• audio eq <input_strip> <band> gain <value> - Set the gain of a specific band in the parametric equalizer. Here <band> is a zero based index of the band, where 0 is the first band with the lowest frequency. <value> is a floating point number with the gain in dB.
• audio eq <input_strip> <band> q <value> - Set the q-value of a specific band in the parametric equalizer to shape the falloff of the band. Here <band> is a zero based index of the band, where 0 is the first band with the lowest frequency. <value> is a floating point number with the q-value where a higher value means a more pointy curve. Default value is 0.7.
• audio eq <input_strip> <band> type <type> - Set the type of falloff to use for a specific band in the parametric equalizer. Here <band> is a zero based index of the band, where 0 is the first band with the lowest frequency. <type> is either of low, band or high, where low and high is a low and high shelf filter and band is a band pass filter. By default, the first band is low shelf, the last band is high shelf and any bands inbetween are band pass.

To control the panning of each input strip use:

• audio pan <input_strip> <factor> - Pan the mono or stereo input of an input strip to the left or right. The range of <factor> is between -1.0 and +1.0, where 0.0 means center (no panning), negative values means more to the left and positive value more to the right. Values outside this range will be clamped. A value of +/- 1.0 means that there will only be audio in the left/right channel.

To control the dynamic range compressor of each input strip use:

• audio comp <input_strip> threshold <value> - Set the threshold for activation of the compressor. The threshold is a negative dB value ranging from -30 dB to 0 dB. The volume of audio which is above the threshold value will be reduced (compressed). The default value is 0 dB, i.e. only compression if the audio signal is overloaded.
• audio comp <input_strip> ratio <value> - Set the compression ratio for audio exceeding the loudness threshold. The value is the numerator in the compression ratio <value>:1. For instance, if the value is set to 4, the compression ratio is 4:1 and volume overshoot above the threshold will be scaled down to 25 %. The ratio numerator is a floating point number in the range from 1.0 to 24.0, with 4.0 as the default value.
• audio comp <input_strip> knee <value> - Set the width of the soft knee in decibels. Instead of simply turning the compression completely on or off at the threshold, the knee defines a volume range in which the compression ratio follows a curve, the “knee”. The knee is a floating point number between 0 dB and 30 dB, with a default value of 2.5 dB.
• audio comp <input_strip> attack <value> - Set the attack time of the compressor in milliseconds. The attack time determines how long it takes to reach the full compression after the threshold has been exceeded. The value is a floating point number in the range from 0.1 ms to 120 ms. The default value is 50 ms.
• audio comp <input_strip> release <value> - Set the release time of the compressor in milliseconds. The release time determines how long it takes to return to zero compression when the volume is below the compression threshold. The value is a floating point number in the range from 10 ms to 1000 ms. The default value is 200 ms.
• audio comp <input_strip> gain <value> - Set the make-up gain i decibels. Since the compression filter lowers the volume of louder audio sections it can be desirable to increase the gain after the filtering. The gain value increases the audio volume with the specified number of decibels. The value is a floating point number in the range from 0 dB to 24 dB. The default value is 0 dB.

To control the volume faders and master volume faders use:

• audio volume <input_strip> <output> <level> - Set the volume level of a specific input in proportion to its original strength for a given output. Parameter <level> should be a floating point number, where 0.0 means that the input slot is not mixed into the output at all and 1.0 means that the volume of the input slot is kept as is for the output. The signal can also be amplified by using values > 1.0. Default is 0.0.
• audio mastervolume <output> <level> - Set the master volume level of an output, before the audio is clamped and converted from floating point samples to 16-bit integer samples. This can be used to avoid clipping of the audio when mixing multiple input sources. Parameter <level> is a floating point number where 0.0 means that all audio output is off, 1.0 means that the volume is not changed and any value above 1.0 means that the master volume is amplified. Default is 1.0.

HTML rendering

The Rendering Engine also features a built-in HTML renderer which uses the Chromium web browser engine to render HTML pages. The following commands can be used to create and control the HTML browser instances:

• html create <input_slot> <width> <height> - Create a new HTML browser instance with the canvas size of width x height pixels and output the rendered frames to the given input slot
• html close <input_slot> - Close the HTML browser instance on the given input slot
• html load <input_slot> <url> - Load a new URL in the HTML browser on the given input slot
• html execute <input_slot> <java script> - Execute JavaScript in the HTML browser on the given input slot. The JavaScript snippet might span over multiple lines and may contain spaces.

3.1 - Classes

Classes

• namespace AclLog
  A namespace for logging utilities.
  • class CommandLogFormatter
    This class is used to format log entries for Rendering Engine commands.
  • class FileLocationFormatterFlag
    A custom flag formatter which logs the source file location between a par of “[]”, in case the location is provided with the log call.
  • class ThreadNameFormatterFlag
• struct AlignedAudioFrame
  AlignedAudioFrame is a frame of interleaved floating point audio samples with a given number of channels.
• struct AlignedFrame
  A frame of aligned data that is passed to the rendering engine from the MediaReceiver. A DataFrame contains a time stamped frame of media, which might be video, audio and auxiliary data such as subtitles. A single DataFrame can contain one or multiple types of media. Which media types are included can be probed by nullptr-checking/size checking the data members. The struct has ownership of all data pointers included. The struct includes all logic for freeing the resources held by this struct and the user should therefore just make sure the struct itself is deallocated to ensure all resources are freed.
• namespace ControlDataCommon
  • struct ConnectionStatus
    Connection status struct containing information about a connection event.
  • struct Response
    A response from a ControlDataReceiver to a request. The UUID tells which receiver the response is sent from.
  • struct StatusMessage
    A status message from a ControlDataReceiver. The UUID tells which receiver the message is sent from.
• class ControlDataReceiver
  A ControlDataReceiver can receive messages from a sender or another ControlDataReceiver using a network connection. It can also connect to and forward the incoming request messages to other receivers. The connections to the sender and the other receivers are controlled by an ISystemControllerInterface instance. The ControlDataReceiver has a receiving or listening side, as well as a sending side. The listening side can listen to one single network port and have multiple ControlDataSenders and ControlDataReceivers connected to that port to receive requests from them. On the sending side of the ControlDataReceiver, it can be connected to the listening side of other ControlDataReceivers, used to forward all incoming messages to that receiver, as well as sending its own requests.
  • struct IncomingRequest
    An incoming request to this ControlDataReceiver.
  • struct ReceiverResponse
    A response message to a request.
  • struct Settings
    Settings for a ControlDataReceiver.
• class ControlDataSender
  A ControlDataSender can send control signals to one or more receivers using a network connection. A single ControlDataSender can connect to multiple receivers, all identified by a UUID. The class is controlled using an ISystemControllerInterface; this interface is responsible for setting up connections to receivers. The ControlDataSender can send asynchronous requests to (all) the receivers and get a response back. Each response is identified with a request ID as well as the UUID of the responding receiver. The ControlDataSender can also receive status messages from the receivers.
  • struct Settings
    Settings for a ControlDataSender.
• class DeviceMemory
  RAII class for a CUDA memory buffer.
• class ISystemControllerInterface
  An ISystemControllerInterface is the interface between a component and the System controller controlling the component. The interface allows for two-way communication between the component and the system controller by means of sending requests and getting responses. Classes deriving from the ISystemControllerInterface should provide the component side implementation of the communication with the system controller. This interface can be inherited and implemented by developers to connect to custom system controllers, or to directly control a component programmatically, without the need for connecting to a remote server. An ISystemControllerInterface can have a parent-child relationship with other interfaces, where the children are aware of which their parent interface is. This is useful for components that provides extra features for another component, but where the components are still to be considered as two separate entities with separate connections to the System controller.
  • struct Callbacks
    A struct containing the callbacks that needs to be registered by the component using this interface.
  • struct Response
    A response to a request, consists of a status code and an (optional) parameters JSON object.
• class IngestApplication
  • struct Settings
• namespace IngestUtils
• class MediaReceiver
  A MediaReceiver contains the logic for receiving, decoding and aligning incoming media sources from the Ingests. The aligned data is then delivered to the Rendering Engine which is also responsible for setting up the MediaReceiver. The MediaReceiver has a builtin multi view generator, which can create output streams containing composited subsets of the incoming video sources. This class is controlled using an ISystemControllerInterface provided when starting it.
  • struct NewStreamParameters
    A struct containing information on the format of an incoming stream.
  • struct Settings
    Settings for a MediaReceiver.
• class MediaStreamer
  MediaStreamer is a class that can take a single stream of uncompressed video and/or audio frames and encode and output it in some way to some interface. This interface can either be a stream to a network or writing down the data to a file on the hard drive. This class is configured from two interfaces. The input configuration (input video resolution, frame rate, pixel format, number of audio channels…) is made through this C++ API. The output stream is then started from the System Controller. Any of these configurations can be made first. The actual stream to output will start once the first call to.
  • struct Configuration
    The input configuration of the frames that will be sent to this MediaStreamer. The output stream configuration is made from the System controller via the ISystemControllerInterface.
• class PipelineSystemControllerInterfaceFactory
• class SystemControllerConnection
  An implementation of the ISystemControllerInterface for a System controller residing in a remote server. The connection to the server uses a Websocket.

3.1.5 - AlignedFrame

AlignedFrame

A frame of aligned data that is passed to the rendering engine from the MediaReceiver. A DataFrame contains a time stamped frame of media, which might be video, audio and auxiliary data such as subtitles. A single DataFrame can contain one or multiple types of media. Which media types are included can be probed by nullptr-checking/size checking the data members. The struct has ownership of all data pointers included. The struct includes all logic for freeing the resources held by this struct and the user should therefore just make sure the struct itself is deallocated to ensure all resources are freed.

ControlDataReceiver

A ControlDataReceiver can receive messages from a sender or another ControlDataReceiver using a network connection. It can also connect to and forward the incoming request messages to other receivers. The connections to the sender and the other receivers are controlled by an ISystemControllerInterface instance. The ControlDataReceiver has a receiving or listening side, as well as a sending side. The listening side can listen to one single network port and have multiple ControlDataSenders and ControlDataReceivers connected to that port to receive requests from them. On the sending side of the ControlDataReceiver, it can be connected to the listening side of other ControlDataReceivers, used to forward all incoming messages to that receiver, as well as sending its own requests.

Detailed Description

class ControlDataReceiver;

A ControlDataReceiver can receive messages from a sender or another ControlDataReceiver using a network connection. It can also connect to and forward the incoming request messages to other receivers. The connections to the sender and the other receivers are controlled by an ISystemControllerInterface instance. The ControlDataReceiver has a receiving or listening side, as well as a sending side. The listening side can listen to one single network port and have multiple ControlDataSenders and ControlDataReceivers connected to that port to receive requests from them. On the sending side of the ControlDataReceiver, it can be connected to the listening side of other ControlDataReceivers, used to forward all incoming messages to that receiver, as well as sending its own requests.

Each ControlDataReceiver can be configured to have a certain message delay. This delay parameter is set when the System controller instructs the ControlDataReceiver to start listening for incoming connections from senders (or sending ControlDataReceiver). Each incoming request will then be delayed and delivered according to the parameter, compared to the send timestamp in the message. In case multiple receivers are chained, like sender->receiver1->receiver2, receiver1 will delay the incoming messages from the sender based on when they were sent from the sender. Furthermore, receiver2 will delay them compared to when they were sent from receiver1.

A ControlDataReceiver can send status messages back to the sender. In case of chained receivers, the message will be forwarded back to the sender. A user of the ControlDataReceiver can register callbacks to receive requests and status messages. There is also an optional “preview” callback that is useful in case the incoming messages are delayed (have a delay > 0). This callback will then be called as soon as the request message arrives, to allow the user to prepare for when the actual delayed request callback is called.

DeviceMemory

RAII class for a CUDA memory buffer.

#include <DeviceMemory.h>

Public Functions

Public Functions Documentation

function DeviceMemory

DeviceMemory() =default

Default constructor, creates an empty object, without allocating any memory on the device.

function DeviceMemory

explicit DeviceMemory(
    size_t numberOfBytes
)

Constructor allocating the required number of bytes.

Parameters:

• numberOfBytes Number of bytes to allocate

Exceptions:

• std::runtime_error In case the allocation failed

function DeviceMemory

explicit DeviceMemory(
    size_t numberOfBytes,
    cudaStream_t cudaStream
)

Constructor allocating the required number of bytes by making an async allocation. The allocation will be put in the given CUDA stream.

Parameters:

• size Number of bytes to allocate
• cudaStream The CUDA stream to put the async allocation in. A reference to this stream will also be saved internally to be used to asynchronously free them memory when the instance goes out of scope.

Exceptions:

• std::runtime_error In case the async allocation failed to be put in queue.

See: freeMemoryAsync method is not explicitly called, the memory will be freed synchronously when this DeviceMemory instance goes out of scope, meaning that the entire GPU is synchronized, which will impact performance negatively.

Note:

• The method will return as soon as the allocation is put in queue in the CUDA stream, i.e. before the actual allocation is made. Using this DeviceMemory is only valid as long as it is used in the same CUDA stream, or in case another stream is used, only if that stream is synchronized first with respect to cudaStream.
• In case the

function DeviceMemory

explicit DeviceMemory(
    void * deviceMemory
)

Constructor taking ownership of an already allocated CUDA memory pointer. This class will free the pointer once it goes out of scope.

Parameters:

• deviceMemory CUDA memory pointer to take ownership over.

function allocateMemory

bool allocateMemory(
    size_t numberOfBytes
)

Allocates device memory. The memory allocated will automatically be freed by the destructor.

Parameters:

• numberOfBytes Number of bytes to allocate

Return: True on success, false if there is already memory allocated by this instance, or if the CUDA malloc failed.

function allocateMemoryAsync

bool allocateMemoryAsync(
    size_t numberOfBytes,
    cudaStream_t cudaStream
)

Allocates device memory. The memory allocated will automatically be freed by the destructor.

Parameters:

• numberOfBytes Number of bytes to allocate
• cudaStream The CUDA stream to use for the allocation. A reference to this stream will also be saved internally to be used to asynchronously free them memory when the instance goes out of scope.

Return: True on success, false if there is already memory allocated by this instance, or if the CUDA malloc failed.

function reallocateMemory

bool reallocateMemory(
    size_t numberOfBytes
)

Reallocates device memory. Already existing memory allocation will be freed before the new allocation is made. In case this DeviceMemory has no earlier memory allocation, this method will just allocate new CUDA memory and return a success status.

Parameters:

• numberOfBytes Number of bytes to allocate in the new allocation

Return: True on success, false if CUDA free or CUDA malloc failed.

function allocateAndResetMemory

bool allocateAndResetMemory(
    size_t numberOfBytes
)

Allocates device memory and resets all bytes to zeroes. The memory allocated will automatically be freed by the destructor.

Parameters:

• numberOfBytes Number of bytes to allocate

Return: True on success, false if there is already memory allocated by this instance, or if any of the CUDA operations failed.

function allocateAndResetMemoryAsync

bool allocateAndResetMemoryAsync(
    size_t numberOfBytes,
    cudaStream_t cudaStream
)

Allocates device memory and resets all bytes to zeroes. The memory allocated will automatically be freed by the destructor.

Parameters:

• numberOfBytes Number of bytes to allocate
• cudaStream The CUDA stream to use for the allocation and resetting. A reference to this stream will also be saved internally to be used to asynchronously free them memory when the instance goes out of scope.

Return: True on success, false if there is already memory allocated by this instance, or if any of the CUDA operations failed.

function freeMemory

bool freeMemory()

Free the device memory held by this class. Calling this when no memory is allocated is a no-op.

See: freeMemoryAsync instead.

Return: True in case the memory was successfully freed (or not allocated to begin with), false otherwise.

Note: This method will free the memory in an synchronous fashion, synchronizing the entire CUDA context and ignoring the internally saved CUDA stream reference in case one exist. For async freeing of the memory, use

function freeMemoryAsync

bool freeMemoryAsync(
    cudaStream_t cudaStream
)

Deallocate memory asynchronously, in a given CUDA stream. Calling this when no memory is allocated is a no-op.

Parameters:

• cudaStream The CUDA stream to free the memory asynchronously in

Return: True in case the memory deallocation request was successfully put in queue in the CUDA stream.

Note:

• The method will return as soon as the deallocation is put in queue in the CUDA stream, i.e. before the actual deallocation is made.
• It is the programmer’s responsibility to ensure this DeviceMemory is not used in another CUDA stream before this method is called. In case it is used in another CUDA stream, sufficient synchronization must be made before calling this method (and a very good reason given for not freeing the memory in that CUDA stream instead)

function setFreeingCudaStream

void setFreeingCudaStream(
    cudaStream_t cudaStream
)

Set which CUDA stream to use for freeing this DeviceMemory. In case the DeviceMemory already holds a CUDA stream to use for freeing the memory, this will be overwritten.

Parameters:

• cudaStream The new CUDA stream to use for freeing the memory when the destructor is called.

Note: It is the programmer’s responsibility to ensure this DeviceMemory is not used in another CUDA stream before this instance is destructed. In case it is used in another CUDA stream, sufficient synchronization must be made before setting this as the new CUDA stream to use when freeing the memory.

function ~DeviceMemory

~DeviceMemory()

Destructor, frees the internal CUDA memory.

function getDevicePointer

template <typename T  =uint8_t>
inline T * getDevicePointer() const

Template Parameters:

• T The pointer type to return

Return: the CUDA memory pointer handled by this class. Nullptr in case no memory is allocated.

3.1.18 - ISystemControllerInterface

ISystemControllerInterface

An ISystemControllerInterface is the interface between a component and the System controller controlling the component. The interface allows for two-way communication between the component and the system controller by means of sending requests and getting responses. Classes deriving from the ISystemControllerInterface should provide the component side implementation of the communication with the system controller. This interface can be inherited and implemented by developers to connect to custom system controllers, or to directly control a component programmatically, without the need for connecting to a remote server. An ISystemControllerInterface can have a parent-child relationship with other interfaces, where the children are aware of which their parent interface is. This is useful for components that provides extra features for another component, but where the components are still to be considered as two separate entities with separate connections to the System controller.

3.1.21 - MediaReceiver

MediaReceiver

A MediaReceiver contains the logic for receiving, decoding and aligning incoming media sources from the Ingests. The aligned data is then delivered to the Rendering Engine which is also responsible for setting up the MediaReceiver. The MediaReceiver has a builtin multi view generator, which can create output streams containing composited subsets of the incoming video sources. This class is controlled using an ISystemControllerInterface provided when starting it.

function MediaReceiver

MediaReceiver()

Default constructor.

function ~MediaReceiver

function start

bool start(
    const std::shared_ptr< ISystemControllerInterface > & controllerInterface,
    CUcontext cudaContext,
    const Settings & settings
)

Start the MediaReceiver. This method will call connect on the System controller interface and set up the callbacks from the interface to call internal methods.

Parameters:

• controllerInterface The ISystemControllerInterface to use for this MediaReceiver. The interface should be configured (Such as setting the IP address and port of the System Controller if a server based System Controller is used) but not connected before passed to this method. This method will internally set the callbacks before connecting to the controller. If the controller is already connected or if the controller is not configured, this method will return false. This class will take ownership of the smart pointer.
• cudaContext The CUDA context to use for this MediaReceiver. The frames will delivered as CUDA pointers, valid in this context, and the multi-view generator will use this context for rendering and encoding.
• settings The settings to use for the MediaReceiver.

Return: True if the MediaReceiver was started successfully, false otherwise.

function stop

void stop()

Stop the MediaReceiver.

function getCustomMultiViewSourceInput

std::function< void(const AlignedFramePtr &)> getCustomMultiViewSourceInput(
    uint32_t inputSlot,
    const std::string & name =""
)

This method allows the Rendering Engine to provide custom input sources to the Multi-view generator to send video streams that can be added to the multi-views. This could for instance be used for adding a “preview” of the video stream the rendering engine is about to cut to.

Parameters:

• inputSlot The input slot this source will be “plugged in” to. The custom input sources share the input slots with the streams connected from Ingests. This means that it is probably a good idea to use higher numbered slots for these custom inputs, such as numbers from 1000, so that the lower numbers, 1 and up, can be used by the connected video cameras, as the input slot number will also be used when cutting.
• name Optional human readable name of this stream, to be presented to the System Controller.

See: MediaReceiver::Settings::mDecodedFormat.

Return: A function to where the Rendering Engine should send the frames. In case the requested inputSlot is already used by another custom input source, or a stream from an ingest, the returned function will be nullptr.

Note: Make sure no CUDA stream will write to the DeviceMemory in the AlignedFrame passed to the function. Failing to do so will lead to undefined behavior. In case another CUDA stream has written to the DeviceMemory, make sure to synchronize with the stream before passing the AlignedFrame.

Precondition: The AlignedFrame sent to this function must have the same pixel format as this MediaReceiver is configured to deliver to the Rendering Engine,

function removeCustomMultiViewSourceInput

bool removeCustomMultiViewSourceInput(
    uint32_t inputSlot
)

Remove a custom multi-view generator source input earlier registered using the getCustomMultiViewSourceInput method.

Parameters:

• inputSlot The input slot the custom multi-view source input is connected to, that should be removed

Return: True if the custom multi-view source input was successfully removed, false in case there was no custom input registered for the given input slot, or in case of an internal error.

function setTallyBorder

void setTallyBorder(
    uint32_t inputSlot,
    TallyBorderColor color
)

Set tally border color in the multi-views for a specific input slot.

Parameters:

• inputSlot the input slot for a source
• color the color to set

variable mNewConnectionCallback

std::function< std::function< void(const AlignedFramePtr &)>uint32_t inputSlot, const std::string &streamID, const NewStreamParameters &newStreamParameters)> mNewConnectionCallback;

Parameters:

• inputSlot can be seen as a virtual SDI input on a hardware mixer and should be used by the Rendering engine to identify sources. For example, if a source is connected to input slot 5, the button “Cut to camera 5” on the control panel ought to cut to this stream. The MediaReceiver is responsible for making sure only one stream can be connected to an input slot at a time. This callback might be called multiple times with the same input slot, however, in case the stream has been disconnected and the mClosedConnectionCallback has been called for that input slot earlier.
• streamID is the identification string of the video/audio source on the Ingest. A Rendering engine might have the same StreamID connected multiple times (for instance if two different alignments are used for the same source) so this should not be used as an unique identifier for the stream.
• newStreamParameters contains information on the pending incoming stream to allow the Rendering engine to decide if it can receive it or not.

Note: The internal CUDA stream is synchronized before delivering the AlignedFrames, meaning the DeviceMemory in the AlignedFrame will always contain the written data; no further synchronization is needed before the rendering engine can read the data.

A callback called by the MediaReceiver whenever a new connection from an Ingest is set up. The callback should return a function to which the data will be delivered. In case the Rendering engine does not want to accept the pending incoming stream (due to a format not supported, etc) the Rendering engine can return nullptr.

variable mClosedConnectionCallback

std::function< void(uint32_t inputSlot)> mClosedConnectionCallback;

Parameters:

• inputSlot The input slot that was disconnected

A callback called whenever a connection from an Ingest has been stopped. When receiving this callback, the callback function returned by the mNewConnectionCallback will not be called anymore and can be discarded if required by the application. After this function has been called, the input slot might be reused by another incoming stream after a call to the mNewConnectionCallback.

variable mUseMultiViewer

bool mUseMultiViewer = false;

variable mDeliverOld

bool mDeliverOld = false;

Set to true if this MediaReceiver should have a multi-view generator.

variable mAlignedFrameFreeStream

CUstream mAlignedFrameFreeStream = nullptr;

Set to true if the media frames should be delivered, even if the delivery time has already passed, otherwise they are discarded The CUDA stream to use for asynchronously freeing the AlignedFrames’ DeviceMemory. Set this to the rendering engine’s CUDA stream, to ensure memory is not freed before the rendering engine is done using it asynchronously in its CUDA stream. Note that the MediaReceiver instance and all AlignedFrames delivered from it must be destroyed before the CUDA stream can be destroyed.

MediaStreamer

MediaStreamer is a class that can take a single stream of uncompressed video and/or audio frames and encode and output it in some way to some interface. This interface can either be a stream to a network or writing down the data to a file on the hard drive. This class is configured from two interfaces. The input configuration (input video resolution, frame rate, pixel format, number of audio channels…) is made through this C++ API. The output stream is then started from the System Controller. Any of these configurations can be made first. The actual stream to output will start once the first call to. More…

Return: True if the streamer was successfully connected to the System controller

function setInputFormatAndStart

bool setInputFormatAndStart(
    const Configuration & configuration
)

Set the input format of this MediaStreamer and start the streamer. The.

Parameters:

• configuration The configuration with the format of the frames that will be sent to this MediaReceiver

See:

• configure method must be called before this method is called. This method must be called before any call to
• outputData. If the format should be reset, the
• stopAndResetFormat method should be called first and then this method can be called again to reset the format.

Return: True if the streamer was successfully started, false otherwise

function stopAndResetFormat

bool stopAndResetFormat()

Stop streaming and reset the format. A call to this method will stop any output streams set up by the ISystemControllerInterface and reset the input format set by the.

See: setInputFormatAndStart method. The connection to the ISystemControllerInterface will be kept.

Return: True if the stream was successfully stopped and the format reset, or if the format was not set before this method was called, false on error.

function hasFormatAndIsRunning

bool hasFormatAndIsRunning() const

Return: True if the input format is set and the OutputStreamer is running, false otherwise

function hasOpenOutputStream

bool hasOpenOutputStream() const

See:

• outputData will be discarded without being encoded, as there is no stream to output them to. This method can be used to check if the frame even needs to be produced by the rendering engine. Note however, that the
• outputData method will still log the frames sent to it as received, even if they are not encoded when the output stream is closed.

Return: True if the output stream of the MediaStreamer is currently open and outputting the data, false otherwise. In case this returns false all frames passed to

function outputData

bool outputData(
    const AlignedFramePtr & frame
)

Output data through this streamer. The AlignedFrame::mRenderingTimestamp of the frame will be used as PTS when encoding the uncompressed frame.

Parameters:

• frame The data frame to output, with video data in CUDA memory

See: setInputFormatAndStart method, or if the format has not been set by a call to that method.

Return: True if the frame was accepted (but not necessarily streamed, in case the output stream has not been set up by the ISystemControllerInterface), false in case the frame did not match the configuration made in the

Note: The DeviceMemory in the AlignedFrame passed to this method must not be in use by any CUDA stream. In case the memory has been used in kernels in another CUDA stream, make sure to first synchronize with the stream, before passing it over to the MediaStreamer.

Functions Documentation

function createAlignedAudioFrame

AlignedAudioFramePtr createAlignedAudioFrame(
    uint8_t numberOfChannels,
    uint32_t numberOfSamplesPerChannel
)

Create a new AudioFrame with a given amount of samples allocated and all samples initialized to 0.0f.

Parameters:

• numberOfChannels Number of channels to allocate space for
• numberOfSamplesPerChannel Number of samples per channel to allocate space for

Return: Shared pointer to the new AudioFrame

function extractChannel

AlignedAudioFramePtr extractChannel(
    AlignedAudioFrameConstPtr sourceFrame,
    uint8_t channelIndex
)

Extract one channel from an AlignedAudioFrame as a new AlignedAudioFrame. The new AlignedAudioFrame will share no data with the original frame, meaning the new frame can be edited without corrupting the old one.

Parameters:

• sourceFrame The frame to extract a channel from
• channelIndex The zero-based channel index to extract

Return: Shared pointer to a new mono AlignedAudioFrame, or nullptr if channel is out of bounds
