MaxQueueDuration Property

Summary
Gets or sets the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that the multiplexer will be allowed to queue data before dropping frames.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
[DispIdAttribute(5)] 
double MaxQueueDuration {get; set;} 
[DispIdAttribute(5)] 
property double MaxQueueDuration { 
   double get(); 
   void set (    double ); 
} 

Property Value

A System.Double value that represents the maximum amount of time, in seconds, that the multiplexer will be allowed to queue data before dropping frames. The default value is 5.0 seconds.

Remarks

The MaxQueueDuration sets the amount of data that is allowed to be buffered. If this value is exceeded frames will be pruned until the network performance improves. An alternative to increasing network performance would be to reduce the output of multiplexer. This prevents the queue from growing to large sizes if the output stage is slower than the input stage.

Example
C#

using LeadtoolsMultimediaExamples.Fixtures; 
 
 
public bool _result = false;

         _captureCtrl.StartCapture(CaptureMode.Video); 
 
         // we'll loop on the state and pump messages for this example. 
         // but you should not need to if running from a Windows Forms application. 
         while (_captureCtrl.State == CaptureState.Running) 
         { 
            if (pMux != null) 
            { 
               // confirm that the actual bitrate does not exceed our max specified above 
               _result &= (pMux.BitRate / 1024 < TestBitRate); 
            } 
            Application.DoEvents(); 
         }

      } 
   }
