<a name="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
CameraBin2 is a high-level camera object that encapsulates gstreamer
elements, providing an API for controlling a digital camera.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">
<h3 class="title">Note</h3>
Note that camerabin2 is still UNSTABLE and under
development.
</div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
CameraBin2 has the following main features:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
Record videos
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Capture pictures
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Display a viewfinder
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Post preview images for each capture (video and image)
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="refsect2">
<a name="idp10168880"></a><h3>Usage</h3>
<p>
Camerabin2 can be created using <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstElementFactory.html#gst-element-factory-make"><code class="function">gst_element_factory_make()</code></a> just like
any other element. Video or image capture mode can be selected using
the <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--mode" title='The "mode" property'><span class="type">"mode"</span></a> property and the file to save the capture is
selected using <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--location" title='The "location" property'><span class="type">"location"</span></a> property.
</p>
<p>
After creating camerabin2, applications might want to do some
customization (there's a section about this below), then select
the desired mode and start capturing.
</p>
<p>
In image capture mode, just send a <span class="type">"start-capture"</span> and a
picture will be captured. When the picture is stored on the selected
location, a <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstMessage.html#GST-MESSAGE-ELEMENT:CAPS"><code class="literal">GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT</code></a> named 'image-done' will be posted on
the <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstBus.html"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a>.
</p>
<p>
In video capture mode, send a <span class="type">"start-capture"</span> to start
recording, then send a <span class="type">"stop-capture"</span> to stop recording.
Note that both signals are asynchronous, so, calling
<span class="type">"stop-capture"</span> doesn't guarantee that the video has been
properly finished yet. Applications should wait for the 'video-done'
message to be posted on the bus.
</p>
<p>
In both modes, if <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--post-previews" title='The "post-previews" property'><span class="type">"post-previews"</span></a> is <a href="http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-Standard-Macros.html#TRUE:CAPS"><code class="literal">TRUE</code></a>, a <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstBuffer.html#GstBuffer"><span class="type">GstBuffer</span></a>
will be post to the <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstBus.html"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a> in a field named 'buffer', in a
'preview-image' message of type <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstMessage.html#GST-MESSAGE-ELEMENT:CAPS"><code class="literal">GST_MESSAGE_ELEMENT</code></a>.

<a name="idp10185984"></a><h3>Customization</h3>
<p>
Camerabin2 provides various customization properties, allowing the user
to set custom filters, selecting the viewfinder sink and formats to
use to encode the captured images/videos.
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-base-libs/html/gst-plugins-base-libs-encoding-profile.html#GstEncodingProfile"><span class="type">GstEncodingProfile</span></a>s are used to tell camerabin2 which formats it
should encode the captures to, those should be set to
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--image-profile" title='The "image-profile" property'><span class="type">"image-profile"</span></a> and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--video-profile" title='The "video-profile" property'><span class="type">"video-profile"</span></a>. Default is
jpeg for images, and ogg (theora and vorbis) for video. If a profile without
an audio stream is set for video, audio will be disabled on recordings.
</p>
<p>
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--preview-caps" title='The "preview-caps" property'><span class="type">"preview-caps"</span></a> can be used to select which format preview
images should be posted on the <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstBus.html"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a>. It has to be a raw video format.
</p>
<p>
Camerabin2 has a <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--camera-source" title='The "camera-source" property'><span class="type">"camera-source"</span></a> property so applications can
set their source that will provide buffers for the viewfinder and for
captures. This camera source is a special type of source that has 3 pads.
To use a 'regular' source with a single pad you should use
<span class="type">GstWrapperCameraBinSource</span>, it will adapt your source and provide 3 pads.
</p>
<p>
Applications can also select the desired viewfinder sink using
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--viewfinder-sink" title='The "viewfinder-sink" property'><span class="type">"viewfinder-sink"</span></a>, it is also possible to select the audio
source using <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--audio-source" title='The "audio-source" property'><span class="type">"audio-source"</span></a>.
</p>
<p>
The viewfinder resolution can be configured using
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--viewfinder-caps" title='The "viewfinder-caps" property'><span class="type">"viewfinder-caps"</span></a>, these <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstCaps.html#GstCaps"><span class="type">GstCaps</span></a> should be a subset of
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--viewfinder-supported-caps" title='The "viewfinder-supported-caps" property'><span class="type">"viewfinder-supported-caps"</span></a>.
</p>
<p>
To select the desired resolution for captures, camerabin2 provides
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--image-capture-caps" title='The "image-capture-caps" property'><span class="type">"image-capture-caps"</span></a> and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--video-capture-caps" title='The "video-capture-caps" property'><span class="type">"video-capture-caps"</span></a>,
these caps must be a subset of what the source can produce. The allowed
caps can be probed using <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--image-capture-supported-caps" title='The "image-capture-supported-caps" property'><span class="type">"image-capture-supported-caps"</span></a> and
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--video-capture-supported-caps" title='The "video-capture-supported-caps" property'><span class="type">"video-capture-supported-caps"</span></a>. In an analogous way, there
are <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--audio-capture-caps" title='The "audio-capture-caps" property'><span class="type">"audio-capture-caps"</span></a> and
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--audio-capture-supported-caps" title='The "audio-capture-supported-caps" property'><span class="type">"audio-capture-supported-caps"</span></a>.
</p>
<p>
Camerabin2 also allows applications to insert custom <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstElement.html"><span class="type">GstElements</span></a> on any
of its branches: video capture, image capture, viewfinder and preview.
Check <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--video-filter" title='The "video-filter" property'><span class="type">"video-filter"</span></a>, <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--image-filter" title='The "image-filter" property'><span class="type">"image-filter"</span></a>,
<a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--viewfinder-filter" title='The "viewfinder-filter" property'><span class="type">"viewfinder-filter"</span></a> and <a class="link" href="gst-plugins-bad-plugins-camerabin2.html#GstCameraBin2--preview-filter" title='The "preview-filter" property'><span class="type">"preview-filter"</span></a>.

<p>
Unfortunatelly, camerabin2 can't be really used from gst-launch, as you need
to send signals to control it. The following pipeline might be able
to show the viewfinder using all the default elements.
