Codec utilities

Codec utilities — Miscellaneous codec-specific utility functions

Includes

#include <gst/pbutils/codec-utils.h>

Description

Provides codec-specific ulility functions such as functions to provide the codec profile and level in human-readable string form from header data.

Functions

gst_codec_utils_aac_get_sample_rate_from_index ()

guint
gst_codec_utils_aac_get_sample_rate_from_index
                               (guint sr_idx);

Translates the sample rate index found in AAC headers to the actual sample rate.

Parameters

sr_idx

Sample rate index as from the AudioSpecificConfig (MPEG-4 container) or ADTS frame header

 

Returns

The sample rate if sr_idx is valid, 0 otherwise.


gst_codec_utils_aac_get_index_from_sample_rate ()

gint
gst_codec_utils_aac_get_index_from_sample_rate
                               (guint rate);

Translates the sample rate to the index corresponding to it in AAC spec.

Parameters

rate

Sample rate

 

Returns

The AAC index for this sample rate, -1 if the rate is not a valid AAC sample rate.


gst_codec_utils_aac_get_profile ()

const gchar *
gst_codec_utils_aac_get_profile (const guint8 *audio_config,
                                 guint len);

Returns the profile of the given AAC stream as a string. The profile is determined using the AudioObjectType field which is in the first 5 bits of audio_config .

HE-AAC support has not yet been implemented.

Parameters

audio_config

a pointer to the AudioSpecificConfig as specified in the Elementary Stream Descriptor (esds) in ISO/IEC 14496-1.

[array length=len]

len

Length of audio_config in bytes

 

Returns

The profile as a const string and NULL if the profile could not be determined.


gst_codec_utils_aac_get_level ()

const gchar *
gst_codec_utils_aac_get_level (const guint8 *audio_config,
                               guint len);

Determines the level of a stream as defined in ISO/IEC 14496-3. For AAC LC streams, the constraints from the AAC audio profile are applied. For AAC Main, LTP, SSR and others, the Main profile is used.

The audio_config parameter follows the following format, starting from the most significant bit of the first byte:

  • Bit 0:4 contains the AudioObjectType

  • Bit 5:8 contains the sample frequency index (if this is 0xf, then the next 24 bits define the actual sample frequency, and subsequent fields are appropriately shifted).

  • Bit 9:12 contains the channel configuration

HE-AAC support has not yet been implemented.

Parameters

audio_config

a pointer to the AudioSpecificConfig as specified in the Elementary Stream Descriptor (esds) in ISO/IEC 14496-1.

[array length=len]

len

Length of audio_config in bytes

 

Returns

The level as a const string and NULL if the level could not be determined.

                                  guint len);

Returns the channels of the given AAC stream.

Parameters

audio_config

a pointer to the AudioSpecificConfig as specified in the Elementary Stream Descriptor (esds) in ISO/IEC 14496-1.
