## Detailed Description

Abstract class for global clocks GStreamer uses a global clock to synchronize the plugins in a pipeline.

Different clock implementations are possible by implementing this abstract base class.

The Gst::Clock returns a monotonically increasing time with the method get_time(). Its accuracy and base time depend on the specific clock implementation but time is always expressed in nanoseconds. Since the baseline of the clock is undefined, the clock time returned is not meaningful in itself, what matters are the deltas between two clock times. The time returned by a clock is called the absolute time.

The pipeline uses the clock to calculate the running time. Usually all renderers synchronize to the global clock using the buffer timestamps, the newsegment events and the element's base time, see Gst::Pipeline.

A clock implementation can support periodic and single shot clock notifications both synchronous and asynchronous.

One first needs to create a Gst::ClockID for the periodic or single shot notification using create_single_shot_id() or create_periodic_id().

To perform a blocking wait for the specific time of the Gst::ClockID use the Gst::ClockID::wait(). To receive a callback when the specific time is reached in the clock use Gst::ClockID::wait_async(). Both these calls can be interrupted with the Gst::ClockID::unschedule() call. If the blocking wait is unscheduled a return value of Gst::CLOCK_UNSCHEDULED is returned.

Periodic callbacks scheduled async will be repeatedly called automatically until it is unscheduled. To schedule a sync periodic callback, Gst::ClockID::wait() should be called repeatedly.

The async callbacks can happen from any thread, either provided by the core or from a streaming thread. The application should be prepared for this.

A Gst::ClockID that has been unscheduled cannot be used again for any wait operation, a new Gst::ClockID should be created.

It is possible to perform a blocking wait on the same Gst::ClockID from multiple threads. However, registering the same Gst::ClockID for multiple async notifications is not possible, the callback will only be called for the thread registering the entry last.

None of the wait operations unref the Gst::ClockID, the owner is responsible for unreffing the ids itself. This holds for both periodic and single shot notifications. The reason being that the owner of the Gst::ClockID has to keep a handle to the Gst::ClockID to unblock the wait on FLUSHING events or state changes and if the entry would be unreffed automatically, the handle might become invalid without any notification. (The RefPtr takes care of

- * unreffing in this case)

  These clock operations do not operate on the running time, so the callbacks will also occur when not in PLAYING state as if the clock just keeps on running. Some clocks however do not progress when the element that provided the clock is not PLAYING.

  When a clock has the Gst::CLOCK_FLAG_CAN_SET_MASTER flag set, it can be slaved to another Gst::Clock with the set_master(). The clock will then automatically be synchronized to this master clock by repeatedly sampling the master clock and the slave clock and recalibrating the slave clock with set_calibration(). This feature is mostly useful for plugins that have an internal clock but must operate with another clock selected by the Gst::Pipeline. They can track the offset and rate difference of their internal clock relative to the master clock by using the get_calibration() method.

  The master/slave synchronisation can be tuned with the "timeout", "window-size" and "window-threshold" properties. The "timeout" property defines the interval to sample the master clock and run the calibration functions. "window-size" defines the number of samples to use when calibrating and "window-threshold" defines the minimum number of samples before the calibration is performed.

## Member Function Documentation

## add_observation() [1/2]

bool Gst::Clock::add_observation | ( | Gst::ClockTime | slave_time,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | master_time,
|  | gdouble & | result
| ) |  |

The time master_time of the master clock and the time slave_time of the slave clock are added to the list of observations.

If enough observations are available, a linear regression algorithm is run on the observations and clock is recalibrated.

If this functions returns `true`, result will contain the correlation coefficient of the interpolation. A value of 1.0 means a perfect regression was performed. This value can be used to control the sampling frequency of the master and slave clocks.

Parameters

  slave_time | A time on the slave.
  master_time | A time on the master.
  result | A pointer to hold the result.

Returns
  `true` if enough observations were added to run the regression algorithm.

MT safe.

## add_observation() [2/2]

|  | Gst::ClockTime& | external,
|  | Gst::ClockTime& | rate_num,
|  | Gst::ClockTime& | rate_denom
| ) |  |

Add a clock observation to the internal slaving algorithm the same as add_observation(), and return the result of the master clock estimation, without updating the internal calibration.

The caller can then take the results and call set_calibration() with the values, or some modified version of them.

Parameters

  slave_time | A time on the slave.
  master_time | A time on the master.
  result | A pointer to hold the result.
  internal | A location to store the internal time.
  external | A location to store the external time.

## adjust_unlocked()

Gst::ClockTime Gst::Clock::adjust_unlocked | ( | Gst::ClockTime | internal_time | ) |

Converts the given internal_time clock time to the external time, adjusting for the rate and reference time set with set_calibration() and making sure that the returned time is increasing.

This function should be called with the clock's OBJECT_LOCK held and is mainly used by clock subclasses.

This function is the reverse of unadjust_unlocked().

|  | Gst::ClockTime | cdenom
| ) |  |

Converts the given internal_target clock time to the external time, using the passed calibration parameters.

This function performs the same calculation as adjust_unlocked() when called using the current calibration parameters, but doesn't ensure a monotonically increasing result as adjust_unlocked() does.

Note
  The clock parameter is unused and can be `nullptr`

Parameters

  internal_target | A clock time.

## set_calibration()

void Gst::Clock::set_calibration | ( | Gst::ClockTime | internal,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | external,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | rate_num,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | rate_denom
| ) |  |

Adjusts the rate and time of clock.

A rate of 1/1 is the normal speed of the clock. Values bigger than 1/1 make the clock go faster.

internal and external are calibration parameters that arrange that get_time() should have been external at internal time internal. This internal time should not be in the future; that is, it should be less than the value of get_internal_time() when this function is called.

Subsequent calls to get_time() will return clock times computed as follows:

time = (internal_time - internal) * rate_num / rate_denom + external

This formula is implemented in adjust_unlocked(). Of course, it tries to do the integer arithmetic as precisely as possible.

Note that get_time() always returns increasing values so when you move the clock backwards, get_time() will report the previous value until the clock catches up.

MT safe.

Parameters

  internal | A reference internal time.
  external | A reference external time.
  rate_num | The numerator of the rate of the clock relative to its internal time.
  rate_denom | The denominator of the rate of the clock.

## set_master()

bool Gst::Clock::set_master | ( | const Clock& | master_clock | ) |

Set master_clock as the master clock for clock.

clock will be automatically calibrated so that get_time() reports the same time as the master clock.

A clock provider that slaves its clock to a master can get the current calibration values with get_calibration().

master_clock can be `nullptr` in which case clock will not be slaved anymore. It will however keep reporting its time adjusted with the last configured rate and time offsets.

Parameters

  master_clock | A master Gst::Clock.

Returns
  `true` if the clock is capable of being slaved to a master clock. Trying to set a master on a clock without the Gst::CLOCK_FLAG_CAN_SET_MASTER flag will make this function return `false`.

MT safe.

## set_resolution()

Gst::ClockTime Gst::Clock::set_resolution | ( | Gst::ClockTime | resolution | ) |

Set the accuracy of the clock.

Some clocks have the possibility to operate with different accuracy at the expense of more resource usage. There is normally no need to change the default resolution of a clock. The resolution of a clock can only be changed if the clock has the Gst::CLOCK_FLAG_CAN_SET_RESOLUTION flag set.

Parameters

  resolution | The resolution to set.

Returns
  The new resolution of the clock.

## set_synced()

void Gst::Clock::set_synced | ( | bool | synced | ) |

Sets clock to synced and emits the GstClock::synced signal, and wakes up any thread waiting in wait_for_sync().

This function must only be called if GST_CLOCK_FLAG_NEEDS_STARTUP_SYNC is set on the clock, and is intended to be called by subclasses only.

Parameters

  synced | If the clock is synced.

## signal_synced()

Glib::SignalProxy< void,bool > Gst::Clock::signal_synced | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_synced(bool synced)`

Signaled on clocks with GST_CLOCK_FLAG_NEEDS_STARTUP_SYNC set once the clock is synchronized, or when it completely lost synchronization. This signal will not be emitted on clocks without the flag.

This signal will be emitted from an arbitrary thread, most likely not the application's main thread.

Parameters

  synced | If the clock is synced now.

## single_shot_id_reinit()

bool Gst::Clock::single_shot_id_reinit | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::ClockID >& | id,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | time
| ) |  |

Reinitializes the provided single shot id to the provided time.

Does not modify the reference count.

Parameters

  id | A Gst::ClockID.
  time | The requested time.

Returns
  `true` if the GstClockID could be reinitialized to the provided time, else `false`.

## unadjust_unlocked()

Gst::ClockTime Gst::Clock::unadjust_unlocked | ( | Gst::ClockTime | external_time | ) |

Converts the given external_time clock time to the internal time of clock, using the rate and reference time set with set_calibration().

This function should be called with the clock's OBJECT_LOCK held and is mainly used by clock subclasses.

This function is the reverse of adjust_unlocked().

Parameters

  external_time | An external clock time.

Returns
  The internal time of the clock corresponding to external_time.

## unadjust_with_calibration()

Gst::ClockTime Gst::Clock::unadjust_with_calibration | ( | Gst::ClockTime | external_target,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | cinternal,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | cexternal,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | cnum,
|  | Gst::ClockTime | cdenom
| ) |  |

Converts the given external_target clock time to the internal time, using the passed calibration parameters.

This function performs the same calculation as unadjust_unlocked() when called using the current calibration parameters.

Note
  The clock parameter is unused and can be `nullptr`

Parameters

  external_target | A clock time.
  cinternal | A reference internal time.
  cexternal | A reference external time.
  cnum | The numerator of the rate of the clock relative to its internal time.
  cdenom | The denominator of the rate of the clock.

Returns
  The converted time of the clock.

## unschedule_vfunc()

virtual void Gst::Clock::unschedule_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::ClockID >& | id | ) |

virtual

Unblock a blocking or async wait operation.

## wait_async_vfunc()

virtual ClockReturn Gst::Clock::wait_async_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::ClockID >& | id | ) |

virtual

Perform an asynchronous wait for the given Gst::ClockID.

## wait_for_sync()

bool Gst::Clock::wait_for_sync | ( | Gst::ClockTime | timeout | ) |

Waits until clock is synced for reporting the current time.

If timeout is Gst::CLOCK_TIME_NONE it will wait forever, otherwise it will time out after timeout nanoseconds.

For asynchronous waiting, the GstClock::synced signal can be used.

This returns immediately with `true` if GST_CLOCK_FLAG_NEEDS_STARTUP_SYNC is not set on the clock, or if the clock is already synced.

Parameters

  timeout | Timeout for waiting or Gst::CLOCK_TIME_NONE.

Returns
  `true` if waiting was successful, or `false` on timeout.

## wait_vfunc()

virtual ClockReturn Gst::Clock::wait_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::ClockID >& | id,
|  | Gst::ClockTimeDiff& | jitter
| ) |  |

virtual

Perform a blocking wait for the given Gst::ClockID.

Deprecated, implement wait_jitter_vfunc() instead.

Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Clock > wrap | ( | GstClock * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |

related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
