Video

[中文]

Component registry: espressif/brookesia_service_video
Helper header: #include "brookesia/service_helper/video.hpp"
Helper class: esp_brookesia::service::helper::Video

Overview

brookesia_service_video provides:

Encoding: Capture to compressed or raw formats (resolution, FPS, format per stream).
Decoding: H.264, MJPEG, and others to RGB/YUV for display or processing.

Features

Encoder

Input comes from a local video device (default /dev/video0; Kconfig can set path prefix and count).

Each output stream can be one of (per-stream resolution and FPS):

Type	Description
H.264	Common network/storage codec
MJPEG	Frame-wise JPEG-like compression
RGB565 / RGB888 / BGR888	RGB formats
YUV420 / YUV422 / O_UYY_E_VYY	YUV formats

Warning

Multiple simultaneous outputs are not supported yet.

Decoder

Compressed input and pixel output; configure per use case.

Input (Compressed)

Format	Description
H.264	Common video codec
MJPEG	Frame-wise JPEG stream

Output (Pixel)

Format	Description
RGB565 (BE/LE)	16-bit RGB for some panels/framebuffers
RGB888 / BGR888	24-bit RGB/BGR
YUV420P / YUV422P	Planar YUV for pipelines
YUV422 / UYVY422	Packed YUV for capture/display
O_UYY_E_VYY	Packed layout (hardware/pipeline dependent)
