@pexip/media

@pexip/media

A package to connect @pexip/media-control and @pexip/media-processor to create a streamlined media process

Install

npm install @pexip/media

Overview

createMedia

It create's an object to interact with the media stream, which is usually used for our main stream.

Its major features:

• Create a media pipeline to get and process the MediaStream, see createMediaPipeline. It also provides some media features including:

  • Video Processing - background blur
  • Audio Processing - Noise Suppression
  • Audio Signal Detection - To detect if the active audio input device is capturing any audio
  • Voice Activity Detection - To detect if there is any voice activity

• Provide media input related information

• Verify if we need to request a new MediaStream, see updateMedia

• Subscribe events from @pexip/media-control and update the state accordingly

createAudioStreamProcess

A processor to process audio from the stream to be used together with createMedia as one of the media processor of the pipeline.

createVideoStreamProcess

A processor to process video from the stream to be used together with createMedia as one of the media processor of the pipeline.

createPreviewController

It creates an object to control the provided media stream, e.g. change the audio/video input device and apply changes to the main stream when necessary.

Usage

The package tries to follow the MediaStream API's Constraints pattern. Beside the MediaTrackConstraintSet that's specified from the Media Capture and Streams spec, we have extended some additional media features as the following:

export interface InputConstraintSet extends MediaTrackConstraints {
  /**
   * Same purpose as `deviceId` but it gives more information about the device
   * so that we can have extra tolerance on device selection
   */
  device?: DeviceConstraint | ConstraintDeviceParameters;
  /**
   * Whether or not using video segmentation, e.g. background
   * blur/replacement, to specify the effects, intended to be applied to the
   * segment. Available effects are `none`, `blur`, `overlay` or `remove`
   */
  videoSegmentation?: ConstrainDOMString;
  /**
   * Segmentation model to be used for video segmentation, currently only
   * supports `mediapipeSelfie` and `personify`
   */
  videoSegmentationModel?: ConstrainDOMString;
  /**
   * Whether or not using our own noise suppression
   */
  denoise?: ConstrainBoolean;
  /**
   * Voice Activity Detection
   */
  vad?: ConstrainBoolean;
  /**
   * Audio Signal Detection for the purpose of checking if the audio input is
   * hardware muted or unusable
   */
  asd?: ConstrainBoolean;
  /**
   * Audio Signal Detection for the purpose of checking if the audio input is
   * hardware muted or unusable
   */
  mixWithAdditionalMedia?: ConstrainBoolean;
  /**
   * Blur size/level parameter when using video segmentation with `blur`
   * effects
   */
  backgroundBlurAmount?: ConstrainULong;
  /**
   * Blur amount applied to the segmented person's edge
   */
  edgeBlurAmount?: ConstrainULong;
  /**
   * Erode level for edge smoothing when using video segmentation
   */
  foregroundThreshold?: ConstrainDouble;
  /**
   * Image Url that is being used for video overlay effects
   */
  backgroundImageUrl?: ConstrainDOMString;
  /**
   * The ratio to be used for smoothing segmentation mask
   */
  maskCombineRatio?: ConstrainDouble;
  /**
   * Image Url that is being used for video overlay effects
   */
  resizeMode?: ConstrainDOMString;
  /**
   * Current pan, tilt and zoom level for a PTZ controllable camera on web
   */
  pan?: boolean;
  tilt?: boolean;
  zoom?: boolean;

  /**
   * Content Hint for the track to apply
   */
  contentHint?: ConstrainDOMString;
}
