What does the "OMX_TI_IndexConfigAlgEnable" parameter do? I can't find any documentation or even source code on it.

Thanks,

Also, what does "OMX_TI_IndexConfigVFCCFrameSkip" do?

Edit: others:

"OMX_Video_Enc_Med_Speed_High_Quality"

Ralph,

Which device family is this for? I will move it to that device's forum so that it gets addressed.

Marc

Hi Marc,

It's for the DM8168. I thought I had the right forum but maybe not!

Thanks,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,

I'm going to move it into the DM816x Forum, and ask the OMX guys to look at it.

Hi Ralph,

OMX_TI_IndexConfigAlgEnable - is used for switching off the algorithm. For example, bypassing say Deinterlacer (VFPCDEI) for progressive content but still to have the dual scaler operations - In this case one can configure VFPC to bypass the dei part of the h/w ip.

OMX_TI_IndexConfigVFCCFrameSkip - is used to get say 30FPS from 1080p60 source. Other scenarios that one may require this configaration is to temporarily reduce the DDR b/w requirements.

thanks and regards

Tarakesh.

Ralph,

OMX_TI_IndexConfigAlgEnable is for enabling algorithm in VFPC. e.g. DEI will not do de-interlacing if algorithm is bypassed. Capture_encode example uses this index.

OMX_TI_IndexConfigVFCCFrameSkipis for dropping frames in capture, as per skip mask (30bit).

Thanks for the replies; some further questions:

OMX_TI_IndexConfigAlgEnable- why would you go to the effort of setting up an OpenMAX chain of components only to then effectively bypass one of them by unsetting this parameter?
OMX_TI_IndexConfigVFCCFrameSkip - how does the frame skip mask work?
OMX_Video_Enc_Med_Speed_High_Quality - what is this?

1. OMX DEI component has one input and two output and each of this can be independently scaled, so if you have progressive input and just want two o/p (420 & 422) with scaling , alg would be disabled but pipeline remains same. Capture_encode example is using bypass of DEI.

2. Frame mask is binary 30 bit value, so 0x2aaaaaaa is (0x101010..)dropiing alternate frames.

3. This is one of the codec parameters for setting encode_preset in h264 for quality. We plan to provide all codec supported parameters configurability in next release.
