3.55 DeckLink Encoder Configuration ID¶

enum BMDDeckLinkEncoderConfigurationID¶

BMDDeckLinkEncoderConfigurationID enumerates the set of video encoder configuration settings which may be set or queried (see IDeckLinkEncoderConfiguration for details).

Key

Description

Video Encoder Integers

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigPreferredBitDepth

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigPreferredBitDepth¶

Video encoder bit depth. Acceptable values are 8 and 10, representing 8-bit and 10-bit respectively.

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigFrameCodingMode

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigFrameCodingMode¶

Video encoder frame coding mode. See BMDVideoEncoderFrameCodingMode for more information.

HEVC/H.265 Encoder Integers

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigH265TargetBitrate

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigH265TargetBitrate¶

H.265 target bitrate. Acceptable range is between 2500 (2.5Mbit/s) and 50000000 (50Mbit/s).

DNxHR/DNxHD Compression ID

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigDNxHRCompressionID

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigDNxHRCompressionID¶

DNxHR Compression ID.

DNxHR/DNxHD Level

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigDNxHRLevel

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigDNxHRLevel¶

DNxHR Level. BMDDNxHRLevel enumerates the available DNxHR levels.

Encoded Sample Decriptions

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigMPEG4SampleDescription

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigMPEG4SampleDescription¶

Codec configuration data represented as a full MPEG4 sample description (aka SampleEntry of an ‘stsd’ atom-box). Useful for MediaFoundation, QuickTime, MKV and more.

Note: The buffer returned by this configuration item is only valid while encoded video input is enabled (i.e.:cpp:func:IDeckLinkEncoderInput::EnableVideoInput has been called).

bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigMPEG4CodecSpecificDesc

enumerator bmdDeckLinkEncoderConfigMPEG4CodecSpecificDesc¶

Codec configuration data represented as sample description extensions only (atom stream, each with size and fourCC header). Useful for AVFoundation, VideoToolbox, MKV and more.

Note: The buffer returned by this configuration item is only valid while encoded video input is enabled (i.e.:cpp:func:IDeckLinkEncoderInput::EnableVideoInput has been called).
