ILMVIOvLy Interface

This is the interface for the LEAD Video Image Overlay Filter.

Data Types:

RegionConstants

typedef [v1_enum] enum RegionConstants 
{ 
   REGION_NONE = 0, 
   REGION_RECT = 1, 
   REGION_ROUNDRECT = 2, 
   REGION_ELLIPSE = 3, 
} RegionConstants; 

Describes a region in a layer.

Member

Description

REGION_NONE

The layer has no region.

REGION_RECT

The layer has a rectangular region.

REGION_ROUNDRECT

The layer has a round rectangular region.

REGION_ELLIPSE

The layer has an elliptical region.

LayerTypeConstants

typedef [v1_enum] enum LayerTypeConstants 
{ 
   LAYERTYPE_BACKGROUND = 0, 
   LAYERTYPE_VIDEO = 1, 
   LAYERTYPE_OVERLAYIMAGE = 2 
} LayerTypeConstants; 

Constants that define the supported layer types. These will be used to identify the layer to be acted upon in the ILMVIovly interface properties and methods.

Member

Description

LAYERTYPE_BACKGROUND

The background layer is a solid color.

LAYERTYPE_VIDEO

The video stream connected to pin 0. This layer must exist (the first pin of the filter must be connected), in order for the filter to work.

LAYERTYPE_OVERLAYIMAGE

OutputSizeTypeConstants

typedef [v1_enum] enum OutputSizeTypeConstants 
{ 
   OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO = 0, 
   OUTPUTSIZETYPE_CUSTOM = 1 
} OutputSizeTypeConstants; 

Constants that define the method used to specify the output size.

Member

Description

OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO

The output size is the same as the size of the input stream. The output width/height is the same as the input width/height of the input stream. In this case, the OutputWidth and OutputHeight properties are ignored.

OUTPUTSIZETYPE_CUSTOM

The output size is indicated by the OutputWidth and OutputHeight properties.

LMVOverlay_APILEVEL

typedef [v1_enum] enum LMVOverlay_APILEVEL 
{ 
   LMVOverlay_APILEVEL_1 = 0, 
} LMVOverlay_APILEVEL;

Parameter Description

Description

long

ActiveLayersCount

None

Gets the number of active layers. An active layer is an available layer.

VARIANT_BOOL

IsLayerActive (LayerTypeConstants LayerType)

LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer to test.

Determines whether the specified layer is active.

long

LayerOrder (LayerTypeConstants LayerType)

LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get the order.

Gets or sets a value that indicates the specified layer's order. The order range is from 0 to 3, where 0 indicates most distant position.

OutputSizeTypeConstants

OutputSizeType

None

Specifies the method used to control the output size. The default is OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO.

long

OutputWidth

None

Specifies the output width. Used only if OutputSizeType is set to OUTPUTSIZETYPE_CUSTOM.

If set to 0, the output width is the same as the input width. In this case, the width is calculated as if OutputSizeType was set to OUTPUTSIZETYPE_AUTO.

The default is 0.

long

Interface Methods:

HRESULT ResetToDefaultsEx(LMVOverlay_APILEVEL ApiLevel)

Parameters

ApiLevel

Indicates which defaults should be used

Description

Resets the filter to default values. The ApiLevel determines which default values to use. Current applications should set ApiLevel to LMVOverlay_APILEVEL_1 = 0.

The overlay filter might change in the future and have different properties or default behaviour. Calling this method ensures the filter will have the same default values it had when you developed your application.

It is best to call ResetToDefaultsEx(LMVOverlay_APILEVEL_1) before setting properties and calling other methods for this interface.

Returns

S_OK if successful, E_INVALIDARG otherwise.

HRESULT GetLayerInfo(LayerTypeConstants LayerType, long *pWidth, long *pHeight, long *pBitsPerPixel)

Parameters

LayerType

LayerTypeConstants value that indicates the layer for which to get the information

pWidth

pointer to a variable to be updated with the width of the specified layer.

pHeight

pointer to a variable to be updated with the height of the specified layer.

pBitsPerPixel

pointer to a variable to be updated with the bits per pixel of the specified layer.

Description

Gets information for the specified layer. If the specified layer is not available, all parameters are updated with zeros.

Returns

S_OK if successful, S_FALSE otherwise.
