Detailed Description

This class defines a video device. This class is used to abstract the few parameters that are common to both\ input and output devices.

Example colour formats are:

"Grey" Simple 8 bit linear grey scale "Gray" Synonym for Grey "RGB32" 32 bit RGB "RGB24" 24 bit RGB "RGB565" 16 bit RGB (6 bit green) "RGB555" 15 bit RGB "YUV422" YUV 4:2:2 packed "YUV422P" YUV 4:2:2 planar "YUV411" YUV 4:1:1 packed "YUV411P" YUV 4:1:1 planar "YUV420" YUV 4:2:0 packed "YUV420P" YUV 4:2:0 planar "YUV410" YUV 4:1:0 packed "YUV410P" YUV 4:1:0 planar "MJPEG" Motion JPEG "UYVY422" YUV 4:2:2 packed as U Y V Y U Y V Y ... "UYV444 YUV 4:4:4 packed as U Y V U Y V ... They are used in IEEE 1394 digital cameras.

Note that devices may not be able to produce the requested size, and this function will fail. See SetFrameSizeConverter().

Default behaviour sets the frameWidth and frameHeight variables and returns TRUE.

Parameters:
height  New width of frame New height of frame

Reimplemented in PVideoInput1394DcDevice.

virtual BOOL PVideoDevice::SetFrameSizeConverter unsigned  width,
unsigned  height,
BOOL  bScaleNotCrop
[virtual]
