Description

Sends a source image and its QpMap table information for encoding through an H.264/H.265 encoding channel.

Prototype

hi_s32 hi_mpi_venc_send_frame_ex (hi_venc_chn chn, const hi_user_frame_info *frame, hi_s32 milli_sec)

Parameters

Parameter	Input/Output	Description
chn	Input	Encoding channel ID. Atlas inference products: The value range of the encoding channel ID is [0, 256). The JPEGE and VENC functions share the same channels, and the maximum number of channels is 256.
frame	Input	Pointer to the source image information.
milli_sec	Input	Timeout interval (ms). –1: blocking mode 0: non-blocking mode > 0: timeout interval (timeout mode). The timeout interval varies with the operating system. The deviation is generally within a time slice of an operating system. For example, if the time slice of an operating system is 4 ms and the value of milli_sec is set to 1, the actual timeout interval ranges from 1 ms to 5 ms. When the CPU load is high, the timeout interval may fluctuate.

Parameter

Input/Output

Description

chn

Input

Encoding channel ID.

Atlas inference products: The value range of the encoding channel ID is [0, 256). The JPEGE and VENC functions share the same channels, and the maximum number of channels is 256.

frame

Input

Pointer to the source image information.

milli_sec

Input

Timeout interval (ms).

–1: blocking mode
0: non-blocking mode
> 0: timeout interval (timeout mode). The timeout interval varies with the operating system. The deviation is generally within a time slice of an operating system. For example, if the time slice of an operating system is 4 ms and the value of milli_sec is set to 1, the actual timeout interval ranges from 1 ms to 5 ms. When the CPU load is high, the timeout interval may fluctuate.

Returns

0: success
Other values: failure. For details, see VENC/JPEGE Return Codes.

Restrictions

Only H.264/H.265 encoding channels support this API.
The source image size must the same as the encoding channel size.
Ensure that an encoding channel has been created and started receiving images.
During encoding, the input buffer can be freed only after hi_mpi_venc_get_stream is called to obtain the result.
For details about the input and output restrictions on video encoding, see VENC Functions and Restrictions.
