2 @c man begin RESAMPLER OPTIONS
3
4 The audio resampler supports the following named options.
5
6 Options may be set by specifying -@var{option} @var{value} in the
7 FFmpeg tools, @var{option}=@var{value} for the aresample filter,
8 by setting the value explicitly in the
9 @code{SwrContext} options or using the @file{libavutil/opt.h} API for
10 programmatic use.
11
12 @table @option
13
14 @item ich, in_channel_count
15 Set the number of input channels. Default value is 0. Setting this
16 value is not mandatory if the corresponding channel layout
17 @option{in_channel_layout} is set.
18
19 @item och, out_channel_count
20 Set the number of output channels. Default value is 0. Setting this
21 value is not mandatory if the corresponding channel layout
22 @option{out_channel_layout} is set.
23
24 @item uch, used_channel_count
25 Set the number of used input channels. Default value is 0. This option is
26 only used for special remapping.
27
28 @item isr, in_sample_rate
29 Set the input sample rate. Default value is 0.
30
31 @item osr, out_sample_rate
32 Set the output sample rate. Default value is 0.
33
34 @item isf, in_sample_fmt
35 Specify the input sample format. It is set by default to @code{none}.
36
37 @item osf, out_sample_fmt
38 Specify the output sample format. It is set by default to @code{none}.
39
40 @item tsf, internal_sample_fmt
41 Set the internal sample format. Default value is @code{none}.
42 This will automatically be chosen when it is not explicitly set.
43
44 @item icl, in_channel_layout
45 @item ocl, out_channel_layout
46 Set the input/output channel layout.
47
48 See @ref{channel layout syntax,,the Channel Layout section in the ffmpeg-utils(1) manual,ffmpeg-utils}
49 for the required syntax.
50
51 @item clev, center_mix_level
52 Set the center mix level. It is a value expressed in deciBel, and must be
53 in the interval [-32,32].
54
55 @item slev, surround_mix_level
56 Set the surround mix level. It is a value expressed in deciBel, and must
57 be in the interval [-32,32].
58
59 @item lfe_mix_level
60 Set LFE mix into non LFE level. It is used when there is a LFE input but no
61 LFE output. It is a value expressed in deciBel, and must
62 be in the interval [-32,32].
63
64 @item rmvol, rematrix_volume
65 Set rematrix volume. Default value is 1.0.
66
67 @item rematrix_maxval
68 Set maximum output value for rematrixing.
69 This can be used to prevent clipping vs. preventing volumn reduction
70 A value of 1.0 prevents cliping.
71
72 @item flags, swr_flags
73 Set flags used by the converter. Default value is 0.
74
75 It supports the following individual flags:
76 @table @option
77 @item res
78 force resampling, this flag forces resampling to be used even when the
79 input and output sample rates match.
80 @end table
81
82 @item dither_scale
83 Set the dither scale. Default value is 1.
84
85 @item dither_method
86 Set dither method. Default value is 0.
87
88 Supported values:
89 @table @samp
90 @item rectangular
91 select rectangular dither
92 @item triangular
93 select triangular dither
94 @item triangular_hp
95 select triangular dither with high pass
96 @item lipshitz
97 select lipshitz noise shaping dither
98 @item shibata
99 select shibata noise shaping dither
100 @item low_shibata
101 select low shibata noise shaping dither
102 @item high_shibata
103 select high shibata noise shaping dither
104 @item f_weighted
105 select f-weighted noise shaping dither
106 @item modified_e_weighted
107 select modified-e-weighted noise shaping dither
108 @item improved_e_weighted
109 select improved-e-weighted noise shaping dither
110
111 @end table
112
113 @item resampler
114 Set resampling engine. Default value is swr.
115
116 Supported values:
117 @table @samp
118 @item swr
119 select the native SW Resampler; filter options precision and cheby are not
120 applicable in this case.
121 @item soxr
122 select the SoX Resampler (where available); compensation, and filter options
123 filter_size, phase_shift, filter_type & kaiser_beta, are not applicable in this
124 case.
125 @end table
126
127 @item filter_size
128 For swr only, set resampling filter size, default value is 32.
129
130 @item phase_shift
131 For swr only, set resampling phase shift, default value is 10, and must be in
132 the interval [0,30].
133
134 @item linear_interp
135 Use Linear Interpolation if set to 1, default value is 0.
136
137 @item cutoff
138 Set cutoff frequency (swr: 6dB point; soxr: 0dB point) ratio; must be a float
139 value between 0 and 1. Default value is 0.97 with swr, and 0.91 with soxr
140 (which, with a sample-rate of 44100, preserves the entire audio band to 20kHz).
141
142 @item precision
143 For soxr only, the precision in bits to which the resampled signal will be
144 calculated. The default value of 20 (which, with suitable dithering, is
145 appropriate for a destination bit-depth of 16) gives SoX's 'High Quality'; a
146 value of 28 gives SoX's 'Very High Quality'.
147
148 @item cheby
149 For soxr only, selects passband rolloff none (Chebyshev) & higher-precision
150 approximation for 'irrational' ratios. Default value is 0.
151
152 @item async
153 For swr only, simple 1 parameter audio sync to timestamps using stretching,
154 squeezing, filling and trimming. Setting this to 1 will enable filling and
155 trimming, larger values represent the maximum amount in samples that the data
156 may be stretched or squeezed for each second.
157 Default value is 0, thus no compensation is applied to make the samples match
158 the audio timestamps.
159
160 @item first_pts
161 For swr only, assume the first pts should be this value. The time unit is 1 / sample rate.
162 This allows for padding/trimming at the start of stream. By default, no
163 assumption is made about the first frame's expected pts, so no padding or
164 trimming is done. For example, this could be set to 0 to pad the beginning with
165 silence if an audio stream starts after the video stream or to trim any samples
166 with a negative pts due to encoder delay.
167
168 @item min_comp
169 For swr only, set the minimum difference between timestamps and audio data (in
170 seconds) to trigger stretching/squeezing/filling or trimming of the
171 data to make it match the timestamps. The default is that
172 stretching/squeezing/filling and trimming is disabled
173 (@option{min_comp} = @code{FLT_MAX}).
174
175 @item min_hard_comp
176 For swr only, set the minimum difference between timestamps and audio data (in
177 seconds) to trigger adding/dropping samples to make it match the
178 timestamps. This option effectively is a threshold to select between
179 hard (trim/fill) and soft (squeeze/stretch) compensation. Note that
180 all compensation is by default disabled through @option{min_comp}.
181 The default is 0.1.
182
183 @item comp_duration
184 For swr only, set duration (in seconds) over which data is stretched/squeezed
185 to make it match the timestamps. Must be a non-negative double float value,
186 default value is 1.0.
187
188 @item max_soft_comp
189 For swr only, set maximum factor by which data is stretched/squeezed to make it
190 match the timestamps. Must be a non-negative double float value, default value
191 is 0.
192
193 @item matrix_encoding
194 Select matrixed stereo encoding.
195
196 It accepts the following values:
197 @table @samp
198 @item none
199 select none
200 @item dolby
201 select Dolby
202 @item dplii
203 select Dolby Pro Logic II
204 @end table
205
206 Default value is @code{none}.
207
208 @item filter_type
209 For swr only, select resampling filter type. This only affects resampling
210 operations.
211
212 It accepts the following values:
213 @table @samp
214 @item cubic
215 select cubic
216 @item blackman_nuttall
217 select Blackman Nuttall Windowed Sinc
218 @item kaiser
219 select Kaiser Windowed Sinc
220 @end table
221
222 @item kaiser_beta
223 For swr only, set Kaiser Window Beta value. Must be an integer in the
224 interval [2,16], default value is 9.
225
226 @item output_sample_bits
227 For swr only, set number of used output sample bits for dithering. Must be an integer in the
228 interval [0,64], default value is 0, which means it's not used.
