Thor based player

This player can play Thor cameras using thorcam.

class cpl_media.thorcam.ThorCamPlayer(open_thread=True, **kwargs)

Bases: BasePlayer, object

Wrapper for Thor .Net camera based player.

_config_props_: Tuple[str] = ('supported_freqs', 'freq', 'supported_taps', 'taps', 'supports_color', 'exposure_range', 'exposure_ms', 'binning_x_range', 'binning_x', 'binning_y_range', 'binning_y', 'sensor_size', 'roi_x', 'roi_y', 'roi_width', 'roi_height', 'gain_range', 'gain', 'black_level_range', 'black_level', 'frame_queue_size', 'supported_triggers', 'trigger_type', 'trigger_count', 'num_queued_frames', 'color_gain', 'serial', 'serials')

A list of configurable property names of the class that is set/read by the configuration API.

Each sub/super-class can define this and the properties are accumulated across all the sub/super-classes.

binning_x: The x binning value to use.

binning_x_range: The supported exposure range.

binning_y: The y binning value to use.

binning_y_range: The supported exposure range.

black_level: The black level value to use.

black_level_range: The supported exposure range.

cam_state

The current state of the state machine of the camera.

Can be one of none, opening, open, closing.

close_camera(): closes the camera and also stops playing if we were playing.

color_gain: The color gain for each red, green, and blue channel.

exposure_ms: The exposure value in ms to use.

exposure_range: The supported exposure range in ms.

frame_queue_size: The max number of image frames to be allowed on the camera’s hardware queue. Once exceeded, the frames are dropped.

freq: The frequency to use.

gain: The gain value to use.

gain_range: The supported exposure range.

is_available: Whether thorcam is available to play.

num_queued_frames: The number of image frames currently on the camera’s hardware queue.

open_camera(serial): Opens the camera so that we can play().

play()

Starts playing the video source and sets the play_state to starting.

May be called from main kivy thread only.

May only be called when play_state is none, otherwise an exception is raised.

Players need to eventually call complete_start() to finish starting playing.

play_thread_run(): The method that runs in the internal play thread.

process_in_kivy_thread(*largs): Processes messages from the camera in the kivy thread.

refresh_cameras()

Refreshes the list of Thor cameras plugged in.

It updates serials when we have the new list.

roi_height: The height after the y start position of the ROI in pixels, to use.

roi_width: The width after the x start position of the ROI in pixels, to use.

roi_x: The x start position of the ROI in pixels.

roi_y: The y start position of the ROI in pixels.

sensor_size: The size of the sensor in pixels.

serial: The serial number of the camera that will be opened.

serials: The list of serial numbers representing the cameras available.

set_setting(name, value)

Requests that the setting should be changed for the camera.

Parameters

name – The setting name to be changed. E.g. "exposure_ms".
value – The new setting value.

stop(*largs, join=False)

Stops playing the video source, if it is playing and sets the play_state to stopping.

Players need to eventually call complete_stop() to finish stopping playing.

Parameters: join – whether to block the thread until the internal play thread has exited.
Returns: Whether we stopped playing (True) or were already stop(ping/ed) playing.

stop_all(join=False)

Causes all internal threads to stop and exit.

Parameters: join – Whether to wait and block the calling thread until the internal threads exit.

supported_freqs: The supported frequencies.

supported_taps: The supported taps.

supported_triggers: The trigger types supported by the camera.

supports_color: Whether the camera supports color.

taps: The tap to use.

to_kivy_queue = None: The queue that sends messages to be executed in the Kivy thread.

trigger_count: The number of frames to capture in response to the trigger.

trigger_type: The trigger type of the camera to use.

class cpl_media.thorcam.ThorCamSettingsWidget(player=None, **kwargs)

Bases: BoxLayout

Settings widget for ThorCamPlayer.

player: ThorCamPlayer = None: The player.
