Watermark support

  • Issue Type: PLAT-1510

Objective:

To provide static watermark support. The watermark definitions will be defined on a specific flavor params, and will be applied to all assets generated with this flavor.

Description:

Added 'watermarkData' field to flavor params object (stored in a customData). This field will store following structure as a JSON string:

  • imageEntry - (optional),an image entry that will be used as a watermark image. Supported - PNG and JPG. Transparent alpha layer (PNG only) is supported.
  • url - (optional), external url for the watermark image file. Formats same as above. Either 'imageEntry' or 'url' must be provided
  • margins - (optional), 'WxH', distance from the video frame borders. Positive numbers refer to LeftUp corner, negative to RightDown corner of the video frame. If omitted - LeftUp is assumed. (Example - '-100x10'- 100pix from right side, 10 pixs from the upper side)
  • opacity - (optional) - 0-1.0 range. Defines the blending level between the watermark image and the video frame. if omitted teh watermark is presented un-blended.
  • scale - (optional), 'WxH' - scale the water mark image to the given size. If one of the dimensions is omitted, it is calculated to preserve the watermark image aspect ratio. ​

Limitations:

The combination of transparent waternark with opacity does not work properly.

Sample watermark setup:

{"imageEntry":"0_yn0vivhl","margins":"-100x10","opacity":"0.5","scale":"0x250"}

Mutli-audio stream support

  • Issue Type: PLAT-1510

Objective:

To support input multi-stream detection and mapping.

Description:

Using an existing (but unused) flavorParams::multiStream field to store an optional configuration structure as a JSON string. If omitted ‘layout detection logic’ is used to detect whether it has a ‘known layout’. Currently supported - ‘audio surround layout’. If detected, the FR and FL streams are merged into a stereo source stream.

Configuration structure

  • detect - (optional),

  • -- ‘auto’ - use internal logic to detect the source stream layout. All other fields are ignored.

  • -- TBD - hinting the detection logic of the source stream layout (for example - ‘languages’,’surround’)

  • audio (optional) - description of either a single target audio stream or an array of target audio streams -

  • -- mapping - array of input streams to be mapped in. ffmpeg style multi file source mapping notation might be used (aka. lecture-captured files, not-implemented)

  • -- action - (optional) required processing action

  • --- ‘merge’ (default)

  • --- ‘concat’ (optional,not-implemented)

  • -- output (optional,not-implemented) - output stream mapping

  • video (optional, not-implemented)

Sample multi-stream configuration stream:

{"audio":{"mapping":[1,2]}}
