Class JavaOverlayFilter

java.lang.Object

de.humatic.dsj.DSFilter

de.humatic.dsj.JavaOverlayFilter

public class JavaOverlayFilter
extends DSFilter

Custom DSFilter object representing the dsj_JavaOverlayFilter which enables mixing of java drawing with the video of running DirectShow filtergraphs. The underlying DirectShow filter operates "in graph" and upstream from renderers, so in oposition to the "draw over video" options, that the various RendererControls object in the rc package offer, it can render to file.
The filter accepts 24bit RGB connections only. Depending on the format of the source video, a color space converter filter may be required to put it into a graph (DirectShow will pull the converter in automatically if it is required and installed).
The filter operates with a callback mechanism. It sends PropertyChangeEvents of type DSFiltergraph.OVERLAY_BUFFER_REQUEST with the time data is requested for and waits for data to be delivered (or waittime exceeds frame length). Both this and the actual compositing code inside the filter are not the most efficient, so it is recommended to use this filter for file rendering only and use RendererControls for display only graphics.
The filter should be inserted by calling DSFiltergraph.insertJavaOverlayFilter() before calling any "to File" method (like DSMovie.export(), or DSCapture.setCaptureFile(..)), it will then be moved to the capture branch of filtergraphs during recording.
When working with capture graphs and (File)sinks the filter needs to be inserted after the sink is connected in order to capture the overlay drawing. In this case call connectSink first, then call DSFiltergraph.insertOverlayFilter with the FORCE_CAPTURE_BRANCH bit set in the flags parameter. Some devices may require a short pause between the two method calls.
The filter supports colorkeying and can perform some (fake) alpha blending on the none keyed pixels. However while keying is effective, the alpha implementation is not and should rather not be used for large area alpha compositing.

Method Detail

setKeyColor

public void setKeyColor(java.awt.Color kc)

Sets the keycolor. Pixels that meet this colorvalue will not be copied into the videostream.

getKeyColor

public java.awt.Color getKeyColor()

setAlpha

public void setAlpha(float a)

Sets the degree in which none keyed pixels will be blended with the underlying video (0 - fully transparent, 1.0 - fully opaque (default)).

getAlpha

public byte getAlpha()

getBitDepth

public int getBitDepth()

Returns the bitdepth of the drawing graphics

getWidth

public int getWidth()

Returns the width of the drawing graphics

getHeight

public int getHeight()

Returns the height of the drawing graphics

getDrawingSurface

public java.awt.Graphics2D getDrawingSurface()

Returns the Graphics2D an application draws into.

submitFrame

public int submitFrame()
                throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                       DSJException

Submits a frame to the filter for compositing. This just calls submitFrame(0). See submitFrame(int flags).

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

DSJException

submitFrame

public int submitFrame(int flags)
                throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                       DSJException

Submits a frame to the filter for compositing and eventually - with the STATIC bit set in the flags argument - marks this frame as "static", that is: not to be changed until the next frame with that bit unset is submitted. Once a static frame has been set, the dll will still send callbacks, but application code can return immediately without submiting a new frame. The static image will then be drawn into the videostream from a copy in the dll.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

DSJException

submitPartialFrame

public void submitPartialFrame(java.awt.Rectangle r,
                               int flags)
                        throws java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException,
                               DSJException

Submits only the region denoted by the Rectangle argument for compositing. As with full frames you can mark the image as not to be changed for a while by setting the STATIC bit in the flags argument, see submitFrame(). Additionally when using STATIC_ADD the partial image will be added to a previously set static image.

Throws:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

DSJException
