# foxglove_msgs/msg/CompressedVideo
# A single frame of a compressed video bitstream
# Generated by https://github.com/foxglove/schemas
# Timestamp of video frame
builtin_interfaces/Time timestamp
# Frame of reference for the video.
#
# The origin of the frame is the optical center of the camera. +x points to the right in the video, +y points down, and +z points into the plane of the video.
string frame_id
# Compressed video frame data.
#
# For packet-based video codecs this data must begin and end on packet boundaries (no partial packets), and must contain enough video packets to decode exactly one image (either a keyframe or delta frame). Note: Foxglove does not support video streams that include B frames because they require lookahead.
#
# Specifically, the requirements for different `format` values are:
#
# - `h264`
# - Use Annex B formatted data
# - Each CompressedVideo message should contain enough NAL units to decode exactly one video frame
# - Each message containing a key frame (IDR) must also include a SPS NAL unit
#
# - `h265` (HEVC)
# - Use Annex B formatted data
# - Each CompressedVideo message should contain enough NAL units to decode exactly one video frame
# - Each message containing a key frame (IRAP) must also include relevant VPS/SPS/PPS NAL units
#
# - `vp9`
# - Each CompressedVideo message should contain exactly one video frame
#
# - `av1`
# - Use the "Low overhead bitstream format" (section 5.2)
# - Each CompressedVideo message should contain enough OBUs to decode exactly one video frame
# - Each message containing a key frame must also include a Sequence Header OBU
uint8[] data
# Video format.
#
# Supported values: `h264`, `h265`, `vp9`, `av1`.
#
# Note: compressed video support is subject to hardware limitations and patent licensing, so not all encodings may be supported on all platforms. See more about [H.265 support](https://caniuse.com/hevc), [VP9 support](https://caniuse.com/webm), and [AV1 support](https://caniuse.com/av1).
