Creating Image Transcoder Components
Image transcoder components are standard Component Manager components. An example component is provided in this chapter.
Image transcoder components have a type of 'imtc'.
The subtype field of the component defines the compressed image data format that the transcoder accepts as an input. The manufacturer field of the component defines the compressed image data format that the transcoder generates as output.
For example, a transcoder from Motion JPEG Format A to Motion JPEG Format B would have a subtype of 'mjpg' and a manufacturer code of 'mjpb'. No component-specific flags are currently defined for transcoders; they should be set to 0.
An Example
The example code in Listing 17-1 shows an image transcoder component. It converts an imaginary compressed data format 'bgr ' to uncompressed RGB pixels. The transcoding process simply copies the source data to the destination and inverts each byte in the process. This example shows the format of how an image transcoder might work without getting into the details of a particular image transcoding operation.
