class Mjpeg – Mjpeg recorder¶
You can use the mjpeg module to record large video clips. Note that mjpeg files save
compressed image data. So, they are best for recording long video clips that
you want to share. Use gif
for short clips.
Example usage:
import sensor, mjpeg, time
# Setup camera.
sensor.reset()
sensor.set_pixformat(sensor.RGB565)
sensor.set_framesize(sensor.QVGA)
sensor.skip_frames()
c = time.clock()
# Create the mjpeg object.
m = mjpeg.Mjpeg("example.mjpeg")
# Add frames.
for i in range(100):
c.tick()
m.add_frame(sensor.snapshot())
# Finalize.
m.close(c.fps())
Constructors¶
-
class
mjpeg.
Mjpeg
(filename[, width[, height]])¶ Create a Mjpeg object which you can add frames to.
filename
is the path to save the mjpeg recording to.width
is automatically set equal to the image sensor horizontal resolution unless explicitly overridden.height
is automatically set equal to the image sensor vertical resolution unless explicitly overridden.
Methods¶
-
mjpeg.
width
()¶ Returns the width (horizontal resolution) for the mjpeg object.
-
mjpeg.
height
()¶ Returns the height (vertical resolution) for the mjpeg object.
-
mjpeg.
size
()¶ Returns the file size of the mjpeg so far. This value is updated after adding frames.
-
mjpeg.
add_frame
(image[, quality=50])¶ Add an image to the mjpeg recording. The image width, height, and color mode, must be equal to the same width, height, and color modes used in the constructor for the mjpeg.
quality
is the jpeg compression quality to use to compress the image if it’s not in JPEG format (eithersensor.RGB565
orsensor.GRAYSCALE
format).
-
mjpeg.
close
(fps)¶ Finalizes the mjpeg recording. This method must be called once the recording is complete to make the file viewable.
fps
is the frame rate the mjpeg was recorded at.
