Add support for higher precision pixel formats #1528

niklaspandersson · 2024-04-02T18:35:21Z

This branch introduces:

Required plumbing in accelerator / core / common / shell for managing frames with a higher than 8 bit precision pixel format
Basic support in ffmpeg producer for preserving precision of 10- and 12 bit content
Rudimentary support in the ffmpeg- and decklink consumers for consuming higher precision frames

Only minimal testing have been performed on windows.

Julusian

This looks like a good start, and doesn't architecturally conflict with what I had in mind.
It is rather minimal in what producers/consumers are supported, but I don't see that as a problem for now.

The only bit I don't like is the comment I added in array.h

Perhaps this could include more formats?
In my testing, some codecs prefered to decode to RGB48/RGBA64, which should be trivial to handle.
And I was able to add the following yuv formats which I think only needed the handling on mapping into pixel_format:

AV_PIX_FMT_YUV444P10, AV_PIX_FMT_YUV422P10, AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P10, AV_PIX_FMT_YUV444P16, AV_PIX_FMT_YUV422P16, AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P16, AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA444P10, AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA422P10, AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA420P10, AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA444P16, AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA422P16, AV_PIX_FMT_YUVA420P16,

This isn't necessary for merging this PR though.

This is a shame, but I can appreciate that making all of these features behave correctly with 16bit will be hard and is not being asked for yet.
Unfortunately this means that it won't be possible to benefit from this work if a key output is needed, so this will only be usable in fullscreen channels, rather than keyed overlay channels. (This is not a problem, just writing out this limitation for when other users are curious)

niklaspandersson · 2024-04-05T15:34:59Z

I'm glad that you approve. This is just the first iteration, to get something out there that can be tested by the client. How "complete" the support will be will ultimately be up to them.

Hi,

This is super interesting work and would have been very useful for Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, where we're incorporating a lot of color gradients in the graphics. All the graphics for ESC will be done in CasparCG.

Keep up the good work, Niklas and Julian!

MauriceVeraart · 2024-04-09T09:05:50Z

Nice work. Can this also be used for "custom resolution consumers"?
10Bit or even higher will be a big improvement for our market with non-standard resolutions.

Theres already an typedef called String inside decklink_api.h which handles this abstraction.
So replace the uses of BSTR with String and it should be happy

Ah, that's great! Thank you

I'm not following what this color_depth value is actually used for.
As far I can tell, it is being passed around a lot to then be only used by https://github.com/niklaspandersson/casparcg-server/blob/aac7d44da5e25613efd1a0ffcb53892a45062d8a/src/core/mixer/mixer.cpp#L77-L87, but does that need/want a color_space as at that point it is RGB?

It is used to determine whether to use one or two bytes per color channel in mixer-generated frames. It's needed to maintain the extra precision throughout the pipeline.

sorry, I meant to write this on the color-space parsing, not color-depth

Frames created by the mixer need to be tagged with an explicit color space for consumers such as decklink to be able to attach the correct metadata on their output.
It is also needed to perform correct color space transformations in the mixer when combining material from different color spaces (not implemented yet though)

It is also needed to perform correct color space transformations in the mixer when combining material from different color spaces (not implemented yet though)

I wouldn't expect that to be necessary, seeing how the output of the shader is rgb. So while frames may enter the mixer as different formats in varying color spaces, the output should always be rgb and surely agnostic of whatever the output color space will be?

Frames created by the mixer need to be tagged with an explicit color space for consumers such as decklink to be able to attach the correct metadata on their output.

I would expect this to be a property of the consumer, not the whole channel.

I haven't done much research into how HDR and its metadata works, but from what I have read I would expect that the only changes needed are to:

composite in 16bit rgb

use the correct algorithm for converting that to 10bit yuv using the chosen hdr mode and metadata values

so unless the mixer is going to be generating frames in yuv, does it need to know what the consumers are doing?

RGB is not color space agnostic. Max green, ie. vec3(0, 1.0, 0), represents different shades of green depending on which color space you're using.

Oh right. Having looked into it some more, you are right.
Sometimes referred to as wide and narrow gamut.

I'm still not entirely keen on this being done on the channel like this, but I dont have any better ideas right now. Especially as there isn't a convenient/cheap place to do a per-consumer color conversion

Yes, absolutely. For ffmpeg I think it would just work without any modifications. Do have a specific consumer in mind?

When we use custom resolutions it will be the screenconsumer

Great work, thank you!

Question: channel bit depth goes from 8 to 16 directly, right? I tried to set it to 10 or 12 but it crashed, I just wanted to quickly test it on a laptop without decklink to compare image outputs with Photoshop but it seems that is not possible at the moment.

Screen consumer only supports 8-bit color depth
Image consumer only supports 8-bit color depth.

Julusian · 2024-05-29T08:57:58Z

@Sidonai-1 correct, it is limited to 8 or 16bit
And yes, the consumer/producer support for higher bit depths is very limited currently

Sidonai-1 · 2024-06-17T14:51:59Z

Nice work. Can this also be used for "custom resolution consumers"? 10Bit or even higher will be a big improvement for our market with non-standard resolutions.

I guess when the screen consumer gets upgraded @MauriceVeraart you will be able to feed large VW at 10 bit, do you use Windows? Does it handle the screen consumer properly and in sync with the audio? I never used it for production because the frame-time was all over the place so it was not very smooth, specially comparing to Decklink.
I wonder how well will Windows maintain the 10bit consumer, maybe with some extra configuration in the GPU settings?

I wanted to see if a 16bit channel would work as it is with custom resolutions and decklink ports but I got an error:

I wonder if "Decklink consumer does not support hdr in combination with secondary ports." comes from a SDK limitation or it's just not fully implemented yet. Hopefully it's the latter 😁

It was a bit strange that the log was complaining about HDR. The channel was set at 16bit in the config, with no color space or HDR settings specified.

I thought bit depth and HDR on/off were be 'independent' in some way. Are they completely intertwined?

Thanks.
