The VideoEncoder()
constructor creates a new VideoEncoder
object with the provided options.output
callback assigned as the output callback, the provided options.error
callback as the error callback, and sets the VideoEncoder.state
to "unconfigured"
.
new VideoEncoder(options)
Parameters
options
An object containing two required callbacks.
output
A callback which takes an EncodedVideoChunk
object as the first argument, and an optional metadata object as the second. The metadata object has three members:
decoderConfig
Optional
An object containing:
codec
A string containing a valid codec string.
description
Optional
An ArrayBuffer
, a TypedArray
, or a DataView
containing a sequence of codec-specific bytes, commonly known as "extradata".
codedWidth
Optional
An integer representing the width of the VideoFrame
in pixels, potentially including non-visible padding, and prior to considering potential ratio adjustments.
codedHeight
Optional
An integer representing the height of the VideoFrame
in pixels, potentially including non-visible padding, and prior to considering potential ratio adjustments.
displayAspectWidth
Optional
An integer representing the horizontal dimension of the VideoFrame
's aspect ratio when displayed.
displayAspectHeight
Optional
An integer representing the vertical dimension of the VideoFrame
's aspect ratio when displayed.
colorSpace
Optional
An object you pass to the VideoColorSpace
constructor as the init
argument, configuring the VideoFrame.colorSpace
for VideoFrames
associated with this decoderConfig
object. If colorSpace
exists, the provided values will override any in-band values from the bitstream.
hardwareAcceleration
Optional
A string that configures hardware acceleration for this codec. Defaults to "no-preference"
. Options are:
"no-preference"
"prefer-hardware"
"prefer-software"
optimizeForLatency
Optional
A boolean representing whether the selected decoder should be configured to minimize the number of EncodedVideoChunks
that have to be decoded before a VideoFrame
is output.
svc
Optional
An optional object with only one member: temporalLayerId
, which is a number that identifies the temporal layer for the associated EncodedVideoChunk
.
alphaSideData
Optional
An ArrayBuffer
, a TypedArray
, or a DataView
that contains the EncodedVideoChunk
's extra alpha channel data.
error
A callback which takes an Error
object as its only argument.
In the following example a VideoEncoder
is created with the two required callback functions, one to deal with the encoded frame and the other to handle errors.
const videoEncoder = new VideoEncoder({
output(chunk, metadata) {
console.log(chunk.timestamp);
console.log(chunk.byteLength);
console.log(JSON.stringify(metadata));
},
error(error) {
console.log(error);
},
});
