ILMVDeinterlace Interface

This is the interface for the LEAD Video Deinterlace Filter.

Data types: 

SEGMENT_OPERATION_MODE:

typedef enum SEGMENT_OPERATION_MODE
{
   MODE_NO_DEINTERLACE = 0,
   MODE_DEINTERLACE_ALL,
   MODE_ DEINTERLACE_PATTERN,
}SEGMENT_OPERATION_MODE 

The SEGMENT_OPERATION_MODE constants describe how segment frames will be processed.

Member

Description

MODE_NO_DEINTERLACE

Do not deinterlace any frame in the segment.

MODE_DEINTERLACE_ALL

Deinterlace all frames in the segment.

MODE_ DEINTERLACE_PATTERN

Deinterlacing pattern is used. A frame will be deinterlaced if it lies in a deinterlace section in the pattern.

 

SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT:

typedef enum sSEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT
{
   SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT_FRAME = 0,
   SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT_TIME,
}SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT 

The SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT constants describe the time format used for all segments.

 

Member

Description

SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT_FRAME

Segment time format is frames. Frame numbering is zero-based and begins at the start of the stream.

SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT_TIME

Segment time format is time, defined as hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

 

Properties:

Type

Name

Description

BOOL

Enabled

Indicates whether deinterlacing is enabled (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

BOOL

Even

Indicates whether to start with even lines (TRUE) or odd lines (FALSE).

BOOL

MergeFields

Indicates whether to use merge even and odd fields into a single frame.

BOOL

DoubleFrameRate

Indicates whether to double the output frame rate (TRUE) or not (FALSE). Currently, setting this property to TRUE overrides the pattern and segments settings, effectively ignoring all pattern and segment settings.

BOOL

StartWithEvenFrame

Indicates whether to start with an even frame (TRUE) or an odd frame (FALSE) when the DoubleFrameRate property is set to TRUE.

BOOL

IsLEADInputPinConnected

Read only; returns TRUE if the filters input pin is connected.

BOOL

IsLEADOutputPinConnected

Read only; returns TRUE if the filters output pin is connected.

long

InWidth

Read only; the input stream width.

long

InHeight

Read only; the input stream height.

long

OutWidth

Read only; the output stream width.

long

OutHeight

Read only; the output stream height.

long

InBits

Read only; the input stream bits per pixel.

long

OutBits

Read only; the output stream bits per pixel.

VARIANT_BOOL

EnableROI

Enables or disables the Region Of Interest. When an ROI is defined, the filter acts only on it, ignoring all pixels outside the region. Currently, the region is a rectangle defined by the ROILeft, ROITop, ROIRight and ROIBottom properties.

long

ROILeft

The left boundary of the ROI rectangle.

long

ROITop

The top boundary of the ROI rectangle.

long

ROIRight

The right boundary of the ROI rectangle.

long

ROIBottom

The bottom boundary of the ROI rectangle.

long

EnableGlobalPattern

Enables or disables the global deinterlacing pattern. The global pattern affects all the frames in the stream. With patterns, either global or segment specific, you can define what frames will be deinterlaced or ignored.

The pattern is defined using 3 parameters:

1.The preamble frames: a group of frames at the beginning of the stream or segment. You can choose whether the preamble frames will be deinterlaced.

2.No-Deinterlace frames: a group of frames, following the preamble frames, that will be ignored. No deinterlacing is applied.

3.Deinterlace frames: a group of frames, following the No-Deinterlace frames, that will be deinterlaced.

 

SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT

SegmentsTimeFormat

Value that specifies the time format used to define segments. Possible values are:

 

 

 Value Meaning

 

 

SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT_FRAME

The time format is Frames, which is zero based.

 

 

SEGMENT_TIME_FORMAT_TIME

The time format is Time, defined by hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. The time of the first frame is zero (all fields).

long

SegmentsCount

(Read only) This property is updated with the number of available segments.

VARIANT_BOOL

EnableProtectedArea

Enables or disables the protected area. The protected area, a rectangle, is defined by its 4 boundaries, and is an area that will be excluded from deinterlacing. The protected area is independent of the ROI and the 2 regions can have any settings in the allowed range.
