Parameter Description

Parameter	Description
chn	Int, encoding channel ID. Atlas inference products : The value range of this parameter is [0, 256). The JPEGD and VDEC functions share the same channels, and the maximum number of channels is 256. Atlas A2 training products / Atlas A2 inference products : The value range of this parameter is [0, 256). The JPEGD and VDEC functions share the same channels, and the maximum number of channels is 256. Among them, a maximum of 256 JPEGD decoding channels and 32 VDEC decoding channels are supported. Atlas 200I/500 A2 inference products : The value range of this parameter is [0, 128). The JPEGD and VDEC functions share the same channels, and the maximum number of channels is 128. Atlas A3 training products / Atlas A3 inference products : The value range of this parameter is [0, 256). The JPEGD and VDEC functions share the same channels, and the maximum number of channels is 256. Among them, a maximum of 256 JPEGD decoding channels and 32 VDEC decoding channels are supported.
frame	Dict, dictionary of original image information. For details, see hi_video_frame_info.
milli_sec	Int, timeout interval, in milliseconds. -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.

Return Value Description

Return Value	Description
ret	Int, error code. 0: success. Other values: failures. For details, see VENC/JPEGE Return Codes.

Restrictions

The size of an original video image must be the same as that of an encoding channel. The size of an original JPEGE image must be less than or equal to that of an encoding channel.
Ensure that an encoding channel has been created and started receiving images.
During encoding, the input buffer can be deallocated only after acl.himpi.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.
For details about the input and output restrictions on image encoding, see JPEGE Functions and Restrictions.
