Decoder Integration Layer (DIL)

Introduction

The DIL (Decoder Integration Layer) is the V-Nova library used to integrate LCEVC decoding and rendering to an existing legacy decoder implementation.
The DIL can be used in both:
  • Application integration - the DIL renders directly onto an on-screen surface, provided by the client, of arbitrary size (generally different from the content resolution). Examples: ExoPlayer (Android).
  • OS Integration - the DIL decodes onto a buffer or draws onto an off screen texture of the same size of the content final resolution, it doesn’t handle the final render to display, including YUV to RGB conversion, and resizing to the destination surface. Examples: MFT (Windows), OMX (Android).
The following block diagram illustrates the role of the DIL more clearly. In conjunction with a base decoder, typically provided by the OS, it offers a complete solution from buffer to output.

Functionality

Input & output

As shown in the diagram above, the DIL needs two inputs:
  • input buffers - the same buffers that are fed to the base decoder in encoding order;
  • base decoded frames - produced by the base decoder in presentation order;
and produces an output onto either a
  • buffer or
  • offscreen texture or
  • onscreen surface.

Colour formats

The DIL can operate on a base decoded picture in the following colour formats:
  • YUV420 I420 - planar Y, U and V with 4:2:0 subsampled chroma;
  • YUV420 NV12 - semi-planar Y (planar), and UV (interleaved) with 4:2:0 subsampled chroma;
  • RGB/RGBA - raster Red Green Blue, i.e. on one plane with interleaved colour components;

Modes

The DIL can be configured to work with two types of internal pipeline:
  • CPU - all the LCEVC stages are performed in CPU, only using SIMD acceleration, by means of the DPI only, the GPU is used only for the possible YUV/RGB conversion;
  • GPU - most of the LCEVC stages are performed in GPU suing GL shaders, including YUV/RGB conversions, while the CPU is only used to produce the LCEVC residual planes at both LOQs

Output type

The DIL offers decoding to either
  • on screen
  • off screen
On screen refers to a window from the OS window system, currently EGL and GLFW windowing systems are supported.
Off screen refers to an array of buffers or GL textures in memory. The latter case has been designed to allow the client to manage decode and presentation separately, for example to allow buffering/queuing already decoded pictures before display.

Other configurable features

On creating a DIL instance, the client can configure additional features, such as:
  • OpenGL major and minor versions (to force a specific version over the system’s selected one);
  • Use of OpenGL ES;
  • Use of 8 bit LCEVC residual planes - instead of 16 bit
  • Use of Hardware Buffers - (Apple and Android only)
  • Enable an on screen UI for stats and live config;
  • Enable dumping stats to local storage;
  • Enable dumping raw output frames to local storage;
The clients configures the DIL at creation time by passing a JSON string and a pair of window system related parameters for context and destination surface.

API Overview

Using the DIL is fairly easy, especially if compared to the more basic DPI, since it operates at a relatively high abstraction level. Apart from obvious creation and destruction of a DIL instance (respectively DIL_Create() and DIL_Destroy()), the main API calls are effectively two:
  • Feed input - DIL_AddNALData()
  • Decode - DIL_DecodeandRender() (for decoding on screen, alternatively DIL_Decode() for decoding off screen followed by DIL_Render())
  • Feed input - DIL_AddNALData()
  • Decode - DIL_DecodeandRender() (for decoding on screen, alternatively DIL_Decode() for decoding off screen followed by DIL_Render())
The DIL also offers an API for the client to retrieve the size of the output picture, which can be useful to pre-allocate buffers or textures of the right size before decoding:
  • Get size information - DIL_GetDecodeInformation()
Note: input buffers must have NAL byte stream format with either Annex B or Length Prefix format.

Drop/Skip frames

LCEVC content may be encoded with a temporal feature that requires each and every frame to be actioned on in order to keep the DPI internal temporal reference data correct. As a result when the client skips frames, for ex. because of a seek in the timeline, or drops frames because they are “late”, it shall let the DIL know by calling the following function:
  • DIL_DecodeSkip()
The DIL does know whether the temporal feature is on and therefore can fall back to a no operation case if that is the case. It is not advised that the client tries to implement this behaviour on its side.

Synchronous and Asynchronous modes

The DIL can be used in both synchronous or asynchronous mode. This is applicable to the decode and render functions:
  • DIL_Decode()
  • DIL_DecodeAndRender()
  • DIL_DecodeSkip()
  • DIL_Render()
If the client has previously set the callback function by means of the DIL_SetDecodedAsyncCallback() or DIL_SetRenderAsyncCallback() API calls, the above decode functions will work asynchronously, therefore returning immediately and triggering the client’s callback function when the decode (or render) has completed. If the callback has not been set the functions will work synchronously.

Base pass-through mode

The DIL also supports a pass-through mode, in which the base is simply copied on to the output without applying the LCEVC enhancement. This mode is triggered when no LCEVC data is found for the frame and can be set as forced behaviour, for every frame, from the JSON configuration.

Example Integration Code

In basic terms, a sample integration code using the DIL can be briefly described, among the various phases, as follows:
// Include DIL header
#include <lcevc_dil.h>
// Initialisation phase ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Create an instance of the DIL
DIL_ContextSettings context_settings = { 0 };
char * json_settings = "{\
\"gl_decode\": true,\
\"gl_es\": true,\
\"gl_major\": 3,\
\"gl_minor\": 1,\
\"swap_interval\": 0,\
\"fullscreen\": false,\
\"hardware_buffers\": false,\
\"use_u8_surface\": false,\
\"force_passthrough\": false\
}";
// Create a DIL instance
DIL_Decoder decoder = nullptr;
if (DIL_Create(json_settings, &context_settings , &decoder) != DIL_RC_Success)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create DIL instance\n");
exit(-1);
}
// Destruction phase //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
DIL_Destroy(decoder);
decoder = nullptr;
// Handling input buffers /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//...
DIL_NALFormat nalFormat;
// Set NAL format, from metadata, properties or parsing the input buffers
// ...
if (DIL_AddNALData(decoder, inputCc, presentationTimeStamp, buffer, length, nalFormat) != DIL_RC_Success)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Unable to pass input buffer for inputCc=%u pts=%PRId64\n", inputCc, presentationTimeStamp);
exit(-2);
}
// Handling decoded frame from base decoder ///////////////////////////////////
// ...
// Get size of ouput picture if needed
DIL_DecodeInformation decodeInfo;
if (DIL_GetDecodeInformation(decoder, inputCc, presentationTimeStamp, baseWidth, baseHeight, &decodeInfo) != DIL_RC_Success)
{
fprintf(stderr, "DIL get decode info failed for inputCc=%u pts=%PRId64\n", inputCc, baseImage.pts;
exit(-3);
}
// Using decode info
// ...
DIL_Image baseImage;
// Fill the base "Image" struct with the data properties of the base frame
// ...
DIL_RenderInformation renderInfo;
// Fill rotation and pixel aspect ratio
// ...
if (DIL_DecodeAndRender(decoder, inputCc, presentationTimeStamp, baseImage, &renderInfo, &decodeInfo) != DIL_RC_Success)
{
fprintf(stderr, "DIL decode failed for pts=%PRId64\n", baseImage.pts;
exit(-4);
}
// Decode info reports if LCEVC is available and has been applied
// ...
