## Detailed Description

Abstract Base Class for converter.

The Converter class is an Abstract Base Class defining the interfaces of converter implementations.

Converters offer scaling and pixel format conversion services on an input stream. The converter can output multiple streams with individual conversion parameters from the same input stream.

| pure virtual

Export buffers from the converter device.

Implemented in libcamera::V4L2M2MConverter.

## ◆ features()

Features libcamera::Converter::features | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Retrieve the features supported by the converter.

Returns
  The converter Features flags

## ◆ formats()

virtual std::vector< PixelFormat > libcamera::Converter::formats | ( | PixelFormat | input | ) |

Retrieve the list of supported pixel formats for an input pixel format.

Parameters

  [in] | input | Input pixel format to retrieve output pixel format list for

Returns
  The list of supported output pixel formats

Implemented in libcamera::V4L2M2MConverter.

## ◆ inputCropBounds() [1/2]

virtual std::pair< Rectangle, Rectangle > libcamera::Converter::inputCropBounds | ( |  | ) |
| pure virtual

Retrieve the crop bounds of the converter.

Retrieve the minimum and maximum crop bounds of the converter. This can be used to query the crop bounds before configuring a stream.

Returns
  A pair containing the minimum and maximum crop bound in that order

Implemented in libcamera::V4L2M2MConverter.

## ◆ inputCropBounds() [2/2]

virtual std::pair< Rectangle, Rectangle > libcamera::Converter::inputCropBounds | ( | const Stream * | stream | ) |
| pure virtual

Retrieve the crop bounds for stream.

Parameters

  [in] | stream | The output stream

Retrieve the minimum and maximum crop bounds for stream. The converter should support cropping (Feature::InputCrop).

The crop bounds depend on the configuration of the output stream and hence this function should be called after the stream has been configured using configure().

When called with an unconfigured stream, this function returns a pair of null rectangles.

Returns
  A pair containing the minimum and maximum crop bound in that order

Implemented in libcamera::V4L2M2MConverter.
