Detailed Description
A video sink presents a stream of video frames. QVideoFrameFormat describes the type of the frames and determines how they should be presented.
The core properties of a video stream required to set up a video sink are the pixel format given by pixelFormat(), and the frame dimensions given by frameSize().
The region of a frame that is actually displayed on a video surface is given by the viewport(). A stream may have a viewport less than the entire region of a frame to allow for videos smaller than the nearest optimal size of a video frame. For example the width of a frame may be extended so that the start of each scan line is eight byte aligned.
Other common properties are the scanLineDirection(), frameRate() and the yCrCbColorSpace().
Member Type Documentation
enum QVideoFrameFormat::ColorRange
Describes the color range used by the video data. Video data usually comes in either full color range, where all values are being used, or a more limited range traditionally used in YUV video formats, where a subset of all values is being used.

|---|---|---|
QVideoFrameFormat::ColorRange_Unknown | 0 | The color range of the video is unknown. |

The color range traditionally used by most YUV video formats. For 8 bit formats, the Y component is limited to values between 16 and 235. The U and V components are limited to values between 16 and 240
For higher bit depths multiply these values with 2^(depth-8).
| Constant | Value |
|---|---|
