Getting actual NSString of AvCaptureVideoDataOutpu

问题:

I am trying to find the accepted formats on an AVFoundation output:

self.theOutput=[[AVCaptureVideoDataOutput alloc]init];
    if ([self.theSession canAddOutput:self.theOutput])
        [self.theSession addOutput:self.theOutput]; 

I am then inserting a breakpoint right after and:

po [self.theOutput availableVideoCVPixelFormatTypes]

and I get this:

(NSArray *) $5 = 0x2087ad00 <__NSArrayM 0x2087ad00>(
875704438,
875704422,
1111970369
)

How do I get the string values of these format types?

Thanks

回答1:

On an iPhone5 running iOS6, here are the AVCaptureVideoDataOuput availableVideoCVPixelFormatTypes:

kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarVideoRange

kCVPixelFormatType_420YpCbCr8BiPlanarFullRange

kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA

Credit where credit is due, I found a way to get the value supported here. https://gist.github.com/2327666

As a category on NSNumber

回答3:

When you call availableVideoCVPixelFormatTypes you get the decimal representation of all of the pixel format type labels. If you convert those to hex you can match some of them to labels listed on Apple's Documentation. For the rest you have to convert the hex value you got into ASCII characters to finally match the label.

For example:

(Decimal) ------> (Hex) ---> (ASCII)

875704438 -> 34323076 -> 420v

875704422 -> 34323066 -> 420f

1111970369 -> 42475241 -> BGRA

I found this site "ASCII to Hex" to be useful.
