The VideoTrackGenerator
interface of the Insertable Streams for MediaStreamTrack API has a WritableStream
property that acts as a MediaStreamTrack
source, by consuming a stream of VideoFrame
s as input.
VideoTrackGenerator()
Experimental
Creates a new VideoTrackGenerator
object which accepts VideoFrame
objects.
VideoTrackGenerator.muted
Experimental
A Boolean property to temporarily halt or resume the generation of video frames in the output track.
VideoTrackGenerator.track
Experimental
The output MediaStreamTrack
.
VideoTrackGenerator.writable
Experimental
The input WritableStream
.
The following example is from the article Unbundling MediaStreamTrackProcessor and VideoTrackGenerator. It transfers a camera MediaStreamTrack
to a worker for processing. The worker creates a pipeline that applies a sepia tone filter to the video frames and mirrors them. The pipeline culminates in a VideoTrackGenerator
whose MediaStreamTrack
is transferred back and played. The media now flows in real time through the transform off the main thread.
const stream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({ video: true });
const [track] = stream.getVideoTracks();
const worker = new Worker("worker.js");
worker.postMessage({ track }, [track]);
const { data } = await new Promise((r) => {
worker.onmessage = r;
});
video.srcObject = new MediaStream([data.track]);
worker.js:
onmessage = async ({ data: { track } }) => {
const vtg = new VideoTrackGenerator();
self.postMessage({ track: vtg.track }, [vtg.track]);
const { readable } = new MediaStreamTrackProcessor({ track });
await readable
.pipeThrough(new TransformStream({ transform }))
.pipeTo(vtg.writable);
};
