NAME

opus_custom - Opus Custom

- Opus Custom is an optional part of the Opus specification and reference implementation which uses a distinct API from the regular API and supports frame sizes that are not normally supported. Use of Opus Custom is discouraged for all but very special applications for which a frame size different from 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 ms is needed (for either complexity or latency reasons) and where interoperability is less important.

Detailed Description

Opus Custom is an optional part of the Opus specification and reference implementation which uses a distinct API from the regular API and supports frame sizes that are not normally supported. Use of Opus Custom is discouraged for all but very special applications for which a frame size different from 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 ms is needed (for either complexity or latency reasons) and where interoperability is less important.

In addition to the interoperability limitations the use of Opus custom disables a substantial chunk of the codec and generally lowers the quality available at a given bitrate. Normally when an application needs a different frame size from the codec it should buffer to match the sizes but this adds a small amount of delay which may be important in some very low latency applications. Some transports (especially constant rate RF transports) may also work best with frames of particular durations.

Libopus only supports custom modes if they are enabled at compile time.

The Opus Custom API is similar to the regular API but the opus_encoder_create and opus_decoder_create calls take an additional mode parameter which is a structure produced by a call to opus_custom_mode_create . Both the encoder and decoder must create a mode using the same sample rate (fs) and frame size (frame size) so these parameters must either be signaled out of band or fixed in a particular implementation.

Similar to regular Opus the custom modes support on the fly frame size switching, but the sizes available depend on the particular frame size in use. For some initial frame sizes on a single on the fly size is available.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct OpusCustomDecoder OpusCustomDecoder

State of the decoder. One decoder state is needed for each stream. It is initialized once at the beginning of the stream. Do not re-initialize the state for every frame.

Decoder state

typedef struct OpusCustomEncoder OpusCustomEncoder

Contains the state of an encoder. One encoder state is needed for each stream. It is initialized once at the beginning of the stream. Do not re-initialize the state for every frame.

Encoder state

typedef struct OpusCustomMode OpusCustomMode

The mode contains all the information necessary to create an encoder. Both the encoder and decoder need to be initialized with exactly the same mode, otherwise the output will be corrupted. The mode MUST NOT BE DESTROYED until the encoders and decoders that use it are destroyed as well.

Mode configuration

Function Documentation

int opus_custom_decode (OpusCustomDecoder * st, const unsigned char * data,int len, opus_int16 * pcm, int frame_size)

Decode an opus custom frame.

Parameters

st OpusCustomDecoder* : Decoder state
data char* : Input payload. Use a NULL pointer to indicate packet loss
len int : Number of bytes in payload
pcm opus_int16* : Output signal (interleaved if 2 channels). length is frame_size*channels*sizeof(opus_int16)
frame_size Number of samples per channel of available space in *pcm.

Returns

Number of decoded samples or Error codes

int opus_custom_decode_float (OpusCustomDecoder * st, const unsigned char *data, int len, float * pcm, int frame_size)

Decode an opus custom frame with floating point output.

Parameters

st OpusCustomDecoder* : Decoder state
data char* : Input payload. Use a NULL pointer to indicate packet loss
len int : Number of bytes in payload
pcm float* : Output signal (interleaved if 2 channels). length is frame_size*channels*sizeof(float)
frame_size Number of samples per channel of available space in *pcm.

Returns

Number of decoded samples or Error codes

OpusCustomDecoder * opus_custom_decoder_create (const OpusCustomMode *mode, int channels, int * error)

Creates a new decoder state. Each stream needs its own decoder state (can’t be shared across simultaneous streams).

Parameters

mode OpusCustomMode : Contains all the information about the characteristics of the stream (must be the same characteristics as used for the encoder)
channels int : Number of channels
error int* : Returns an error code

Returns

Newly created decoder state.

int opus_custom_decoder_ctl (OpusCustomDecoder *OPUS_RESTRICT st, intrequest, ...)

Perform a CTL function on an Opus custom decoder. Generally the request and subsequent arguments are generated by a convenience macro.

See also

Generic CTLs

void opus_custom_decoder_destroy (OpusCustomDecoder * st)

Destroys a decoder state.

Parameters

st OpusCustomDecoder* : State to be freed.

int opus_custom_decoder_get_size (const OpusCustomMode * mode, intchannels)

Gets the size of an OpusCustomDecoder structure.

Parameters

mode OpusCustomMode * : Mode configuration
channels int : Number of channels

Returns

size

int opus_custom_decoder_init (OpusCustomDecoder * st, const OpusCustomMode* mode, int channels)

Initializes a previously allocated decoder state The memory pointed to by st must be the size returned by opus_custom_decoder_get_size. This is intended for applications which use their own allocator instead of malloc.

See also

opus_custom_decoder_create() , opus_custom_decoder_get_size() To reset a previously initialized state use the OPUS_RESET_STATE CTL.

Parameters

st OpusCustomDecoder* : Decoder state
mode OpusCustomMode * : Contains all the information about the characteristics of the stream (must be the same characteristics as used for the encoder)
channels int : Number of channels

Returns

OPUS_OK Success or Error codes

int opus_custom_encode (OpusCustomEncoder * st, const opus_int16 * pcm, intframe_size, unsigned char * compressed, int maxCompressedBytes)

Encodes a frame of audio.

Parameters

st OpusCustomEncoder* : Encoder state
pcm opus_int16* : PCM audio in signed 16-bit format (native endian). There must be exactly frame_size samples per channel.
frame_size int : Number of samples per frame of input signal
compressed char * : The compressed data is written here. This may not alias pcm and must be at least maxCompressedBytes long.
maxCompressedBytes int : Maximum number of bytes to use for compressing the frame (can change from one frame to another)

Returns

Number of bytes written to ’compressed’. If negative, an error has occurred (see error codes). It is IMPORTANT that the length returned be somehow transmitted to the decoder. Otherwise, no decoding is possible.

int opus_custom_encode_float (OpusCustomEncoder * st, const float * pcm,int frame_size, unsigned char * compressed, int maxCompressedBytes)

Encodes a frame of audio.

Parameters

st OpusCustomEncoder* : Encoder state
pcm float* : PCM audio in float format, with a normal range of +/-1.0. Samples with a range beyond +/-1.0 are supported but will be clipped by decoders using the integer API and should only be used if it is known that the far end supports extended dynamic range. There must be exactly frame_size samples per channel.
frame_size int : Number of samples per frame of input signal
compressed char * : The compressed data is written here. This may not alias pcm and must be at least maxCompressedBytes long.
maxCompressedBytes int : Maximum number of bytes to use for compressing the frame (can change from one frame to another)

Returns

Number of bytes written to ’compressed’. If negative, an error has occurred (see error codes). It is IMPORTANT that the length returned be somehow transmitted to the decoder. Otherwise, no decoding is possible.

OpusCustomEncoder * opus_custom_encoder_create (const OpusCustomMode *mode, int channels, int * error)

Creates a new encoder state. Each stream needs its own encoder state (can’t be shared across simultaneous streams).

Parameters

mode OpusCustomMode* : Contains all the information about the characteristics of the stream (must be the same characteristics as used for the decoder)
channels int : Number of channels
error int* : Returns an error code

Returns

Newly created encoder state.

int opus_custom_encoder_ctl (OpusCustomEncoder *OPUS_RESTRICT st, intrequest, ...)

Perform a CTL function on an Opus custom encoder. Generally the request and subsequent arguments are generated by a convenience macro.
