Text library for OSD

Ivan Nardi

Hi all,
Is there any plan to support a "text-osd" library in the next RDK releases?
I mean, a library (running on the DSP) to write some text at the osd level; with the demos provided I'am able only to put some images, not text.

Thanks

Hi Ivan,

We have not added the support of any library to create the YUV data from the text. The reason is that the OSD algorithm expects the YUV data to be displayed on video frame and the application can use any font and create the corresponding YUV data for the string. There are quite a few opensource libraries to convert the text to YUV data.

Regards,

Anshuman
