Controller
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The controller subsystem allows to automate element property changes. It works
|
|
so that all parameter changes are time based and elements request property
|
|
updates at processing time.
|
|

~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Elements don't need to do much. They need to:
|
|
- mark object properties that can be changed while processing with
|
|
GST_PARAM_CONTROLLABLE
|
|
- call gst_object_sync_values (self, timestamp) in the processing function
|
|
before accessing the parameters.
|
|
|
|
All ordered property types can be automated (int, double, boolean, enum).
|
|
|
|
Application view
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Applications need to setup the property automation. For that they need to create
|
|
a GstControlSource and attach it to a property using GstControlBinding. Various
|
|
control-sources and control-bindings exist. All control sources produce control
|
|
value sequences in the form of gdouble values. The control bindings map them to
|
|
the value range and type of the bound property.
|
|
|
|
One control-source can be attached to one or more properties at the same time.
|
|
If it is attached multiple times, then each control-binding will scale and
|
|
convert the control values to the target property type and range.
|
|
|
|
One can create complex control-curves by using a GstInterpolationControlSource.
|
|
This allows the classic user editable control-curve (often seen in audio/video
|
|
editors). Another way is to use computed control curves. GstLFOControlSource can
|
|
generate various repetitive signals. Those can be made more complex by chaining
|
|
the control sources. One can attach another control-source to e.g. modulate the
|
|
frequency of the first GstLFOControlSource.
|
|
|
|
In most cases GstControlBindingDirect will be the binding to be used. Other
|
|
control bindings are there to handle special cases, such as having 1-4 control-
|
|
sources and combine their values into a single guint to control a rgba-color
|
|
property.
