Class GammaBlock

Namespace
VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.VideoProcessing
Assembly
VisioForge.Core.dll

MediaBlock that applies gamma correction to video, adjusting the luminance and overall brightness. Gamma correction is essential for color management and display calibration, compensating for the non-linear response of display devices. Values less than 1.0 brighten the image, while values greater than 1.0 darken it. This effect is commonly used for HDR processing, color grading, and ensuring consistent appearance across different displays and devices. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.MediaBlock. Implements the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.IMediaBlockInternals. Implements the IDisposable.

Extension Methods

Constructors

GammaBlock(double)

Initializes a new instance of the VisioForge.Core.MediaBlocks.VideoProcessing.GammaBlock class with the specified gamma correction value.

public GammaBlock(double gamma)

Parameters

gamma double

The gamma correction value. Default value is 1.0 (no correction). Values <1.0 brighten, >1.0 darken.

Properties

Input

Gets the input.

public override MediaBlockPad Input { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad

Inputs

Gets the inputs.

public override MediaBlockPad[] Inputs { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad[]

Output

Gets the output.

public override MediaBlockPad Output { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad

Outputs

Gets the outputs.

public override MediaBlockPad[] Outputs { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockPad[]

Type

Gets the type.

public override MediaBlockType Type { get; }

Property Value

MediaBlockType

Value

Gets or sets the gamma correction value that controls the brightness curve. Values less than 1.0 brighten the image, values greater than 1.0 darken it. Default value is 1.0 (no correction). Typical range is 0.1 to 3.0.

public double Value { get; set; }

Property Value

double

Methods

Build()

Constructs and initializes the gamma correction filter and its associated GStreamer elements. This method creates the filter with the specified gamma value, establishes input and output pads, and prepares the block for video brightness adjustment processing.

public override bool Build()

Returns

bool

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

CleanUp()

Releases all resources and performs cleanup operations for this gamma correction block. This method disposes of the GStreamer elements and resets the build state.

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 gamma filter element.

public BaseElement GetCore()

Returns

BaseElement

The BaseElement wrapper instance that encapsulates the GStreamer gamma filter.

GetElement()

Gets the underlying GStreamer element that performs the gamma correction.

public Element GetElement()

Returns

Element

The GStreamer Element instance representing the gamma filter.

IsAvailable()

Determines whether the gamma correction filter is available on the current system. This checks if the required GStreamer video processing plugins are installed and accessible. The correct NuGet SDK redistribution package should be included in your project.

public static bool IsAvailable()

Returns

bool

true if the gamma correction filter is available and can be used; otherwise, false.

IMediaBlockInternals.SetContext(MediaBlocksPipeline)

Associates this gamma correction 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.
