Class VAAPIJPEGDecoderBlock

Namespace
VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.Sources
Assembly
VisioForge.Core.dll

VAAPI JPEG hardware decoder block for Linux systems using Video Acceleration API. This block provides GPU-accelerated JPEG image decoding through VA-API, significantly improving performance for applications that process large volumes of JPEG images. Supports Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA GPUs with VA-API drivers. Features include hardware acceleration for baseline and progressive JPEG formats, support for various color spaces (YUV 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4), high-resolution image decoding up to GPU limits, and efficient batch processing of JPEG streams. Essential for photo viewers, image galleries, video editors processing JPEG sequences, digital signage systems, and any Linux application requiring fast JPEG decoding with minimal CPU usage. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.MediaBlock. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.IMediaBlockInternals. Implements the IDisposable.

Methods

Build()

Constructs and initializes the VAAPI JPEG decoder and its associated GStreamer elements. This method creates the hardware decoder, establishes input and output pads, and prepares the block for GPU-accelerated JPEG decoding through the Linux VA-API interface.

public override bool Build()

Returns

bool

true if the decoder was successfully built and configured; false if initialization failed.

CleanUp()

Releases all resources and performs cleanup operations for this VAAPI JPEG decoder block. This method disposes of the GStreamer elements and releases VA-API resources.

public void CleanUp()

Dispose(bool)

Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources.

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

disposing bool

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

GetCore()

Gets the core BaseElement wrapper that provides additional functionality around the GStreamer VAAPI JPEG decoder element.

public BaseElement GetCore()

Returns

BaseElement

The BaseElement wrapper instance that encapsulates the GStreamer VAAPI JPEG decoder.

GetElement()

Gets the underlying GStreamer element that performs VAAPI JPEG hardware decoding.

public Element GetElement()

Returns

Element

The GStreamer Element instance representing the VAAPI JPEG decoder.

IsAvailable()

Determines whether this media block is available. Correct NuGet SDK redist should be included into your project.

public static bool IsAvailable()

Returns

bool

true if this media block is available; otherwise, false.

IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline)

Associates this VAAPI JPEG decoder block with a pipeline and initializes its internal context. This method is called internally when the block is added to a pipeline.

void IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline pipeline)

Parameters

pipeline MediaBlocksPipeline

The MediaBlocksPipeline instance that will manage this block.
