HVTCamcorderProfile

extends Object
java.lang.Object
   ↳ com.hvt.horizonSDK.HVTCamcorderProfile

Class Overview

A Camcorder profile that can be used by HVTCamera to set-up recording.

Each profile specifies the following set of parameters:

  • Video frame width and height in pixels,
  • Video bit rate in bits per second
  • i-Frame interval in seconds
  • Number of audio channels for recording.
  • Audio sample rate
  • Audio bit rate in bits per second

There are multiple constructors available. You can always change the profile parameters after they are initialized.

The i-Frame interval is 3 seconds by default.

Summary

Constants
int QUALITY_HIGH Quality level corresponding to high bitrate.
int QUALITY_LOW Quality level corresponding to low bitrate.
int QUALITY_MEDIUM Quality level corresponding to medium bitrate.
Fields
public int audioBitrate The target audio output bit rate in bits per second
public int audioChannels The number of audio channels used for the audio track
public int audioSampleRate The audio sampling rate used for the audio track
public int videoBitrate The target video output bit rate in bits per second
public int videoFrameHeight The target video frame height in pixels
public int videoFrameWidth The target video frame width in pixels
public int videoIFrameInterval The frequency of I frames expressed in secs between I frames
Public Constructors

Public Constructors

public HVTCamcorderProfile ()

Constructs a new instance without initializing any of the parameters.

Note: If you use this constructor, you must specify the values of all the parameters.

public HVTCamcorderProfile (CamcorderProfile profile)

Constructs a new instance using the parameters of the provided CamcorderProfile.

Only the shared parameters are copied to the new instance.

Parameters
profile the CamcorderProfile to use as reference

public HVTCamcorderProfile (int width, int height)

Constructs a new instance using the provided width and height.

The video bitrate will be calculated using calculateVideoBitrate(int, int, int) for QUALITY_HIGH.

The audio settings will match the QUALITY_HIGH preset.

Parameters
width the width in pixels
height the height in pixels

public HVTCamcorderProfile (int width, int height, int videoQuality)

Constructs a new instance using the provided width, height and videoQuality.

The video bitrate will be calculated using calculateVideoBitrate(int, int, int) for the supplied videoQuality.

The audio settings will match the QUALITY_HIGH preset.

Parameters
width the width in pixels
height the height in pixels
videoQuality the target video quality level of the video bitrate

Public Methods

public static int calculateVideoBitrate (int width, int height, int quality)

Calculates and returns the appropriate video bitrate for the provided width, height and quality level.

The target quality level can be any of: QUALITY_LOW, QUALITY_MEDIUM, QUALITY_HIGH

The maximum bitrate returned by the method is 20 Mbps.

Parameters
width the width in pixels
height the height in pixels
quality the target quality level
Returns
  • the video bitrate in bits per second
