Detailed Description

The IAAFMasterMob interface is implemented by objects which provide access to the File Source Mobs and EssenceData objects.

The Master Mob object is used to provide a level of indirection for accessing Source Mobs from Composition Mobs.

In addition to the specific error results listed for each method, all methods in this interface may also return one of the following values:

AAFRESULT_NOMEMORY

insufficient system memory is available to perform the operation.

Objects that implement IAAFMasterMob2 also implement the following interfaces:

HRESULT IAAFMasterMob2::AddMasterSlot	(	[in] IAAFDataDef *	pDataDef,
		[in] aafSlotID_t	sourceSlotID,
		[in] IAAFSourceMob *	pSourceMob,
		[in] aafSlotID_t	masterSlotID,
		[in, string] aafCharacter_constptr	pSlotName
	)

This function adds a slot to the specified Master Mob that references the specified a slot in the specified Source Mob.

The new slot in the Master Mob contains a Source Clip that specifies the Source Mob in its source reference properties. Typically this is done automatically by passing the Master Mob handle to AAFMedia::Create, but this function allows you to add it later.

Note: If pSlotName is passed in with zero length, then the slot is not assigned a name. Slot names are not used by the SDK, and exist only so the user can name slots.

Succeeds if all of the following are true: (more conditions here)

If this method fails no state is changed.

This method will return the following codes. If more than one of the listed errors is in effect, it will return the first one encountered in the order given below:

AAFRESULT_SUCCESS

succeeded. (This is the only code indicating success.)

AAFRESULT_NOT_INITIALIZED

This object has not yet had Initialize() called on it.

AAFRESULT_NULL_PARAM

One or more of the following parameters are NULL pSourceMob, pSlotName, and pDataDef.

AAFRESULT_INVALID_DATADEF

The data kind of the source MOB slot to be added to the Master Mob does not match what is specfied in pDataDef.

AAFRESULT_SLOT_NOTFOUND

The specified Source Mob slot was not found.

AAFRESULT_SLOT_EXISTS

The specified Master slot ID already exists.

Parameters:

pDataDef	[in] Data kind of new slot. Requires a data kind valid for a media stream. Valid data kinds are: Picture Sound
sourceSlotID	[in] Slot ID of the Source Mob slot to be added to the Master Mob
pSourceMob	[in] Source Mob containing the slot to be added to the Master Mob
masterSlotID	[in] SlotID assigned to the new Master Mob slot
pSlotName	[in, string] Name to assign to new slot in Master Mob

HRESULT IAAFMasterMob2::AppendPhysSourceRef	(	[in] aafRational_t	editrate,

		[in] IAAFDataDef *	pEssenceKind,
		[in] aafSourceRef_t	ref,
		[in] aafLength_t	srcRefLength
	)

Connects this Source Mob with the physical Source Mob that describes the previous generation of essence, appending it to existing Mob data.

If a physical Source Mob, such as a File Source Mob or tape Source Mob, references another physical Source Mob as its ancestor, with no pulldown, then this function makes the connection between the two.

Functionally, this is a helper function to create a slot with an AAFSourceClip referencing a particular piece of media. This function takes many parameters because the components of an aafSourceRef_t have been broken out as separate parameters.

The ancestor of an AAFSourceMob with an AAFFileDescriptor is often an AAFTapeDescriptor or NIL.

Succeeds if all of the following are true:

the pSourceRefObj pointer is valid.
the pEssenceKind pointer is valid. (other conditions here)

This method will return the following codes. If more than one of the listed errors is in effect, it will return the first one encountered in the order given below:

AAFRESULT_SUCCESS

succeeded. (This is the only code indicating success.)

AAFRESULT_NOT_INITIALIZED

This object has not yet had Initialize() called on it.

AAFRESULT_NULL_PARAM

pSourceRefObj or pEssenceKind is null.

(other codes here.)

Parameters:

editrate	[in] Edit rate of slot to contain reference
aMobSlot	[in] SlotID of slot to contain reference
pEssenceKind	[in] Data kind of slot to contain reference. Requires a data kind valid for a essence stream. Valid data kinds are: Picture Sound
ref	[in] Reference to a Physical Source Mob
srcRefLength	[in] Length of the Source Clip

HRESULT IAAFMasterMob2::CountChannels	(	[in] aafSlotID_t	slotID,

		[in] IAAFDataDef *	pMediaKind,
		[out] aafUInt16 *	numCh
	)

Takes an opaque handle, a master mob reference, and a slot ID so that it may be called before the essence is opened.

Returns the number of interleaved essence channels of a given type in the essence stream referenced by the given file mob.

If the data format is not interleaved, then the answer will always be zero or one. This function correctly returns zero for essence types not handled by a given codec, and handles codecs which work with multiple essence types.

Parameters:

slotID	[in] On this slot
mediaCrit	[in] using this essence criteria
pMediaKind	[in] for this essence type
numCh	[out] How many channels?

succeeded. (This is the only code indicating success.)

AAFRESULT_NOT_INITIALIZED

This object has not yet had Initialize() called on it.

AAFRESULT_NULL_PARAM

ppSegment arg is NULL.

AAFRESULT_SLOT_NOTFOUND

The specified Master Slot was not found.

Parameters:

slotID	[in] Slot ID

ppSegment [out] Requested Segment

HRESULT IAAFMasterMob2::GetNumRepresentations	(	[in] aafSlotID_t	slotID,
		[out, retval] aafNumSlots_t *	pNumReps
	)

This function returns the number of media representations available for the specified SlotID on a specified Master Mob.

This function is meant to work with GetRepresentationSourceClip, so that you can iterate through all of the choices yourself. In most cases, you can use GetCriteriaSourceClip to handle multiple representations. This function and GetRepresentationSourceClip are lower-level functions.

	)

This method returns the indexed media representation for the specified Master Mob, SlotID, and index.

This call is meant to work with GetNumRepresentations, so that you can iterate through all of the choices yourself. This method uses an integer index, not an iterator. The function GetRepresentationSourceClip takes an index between 1 and the number of representations [inclusive], and returns the indexed Source Mob. You can make calls to functions such as AAFMedia::GetVideoInfo and AAFMedia::IsMediaContiguous to determine which media is the best fit.

The returned source clip is AddRef()ed before it is returned.

Succeeds if all of the following are true:

the ppSourceClip pointer is valid.

If this method fails nothing will be written to *ppSourceClip.

This method will return the following codes. If more than one of the listed errors is in effect, it will return the first one encountered in the order given below:

		[in] aafUInt32	bufSize
	)

Finds the tape Source Mob associated with a Master Mob slot and writes the name of the tape, which is stored in the Mobs Name property, into the pTapeName buffer.

The buffer is allocated by the caller. The size of the buffer is given by bufSize. If the property name has not yet been set, a zero-length string will be written (that is, only the trailing null character).

Caller may call GetTapeNameBufLen() to determine the required buffer size.

Succeeds if all of the following are true:

the pTapeName pointer is valid.
the specified master slot was found.
the specified master slot contains a tape mob.
bufSize indicates the buffer is large enough to hold the name.

If this method fails nothing will be written to *pTapeName.

This method will return the following codes. If more than one of the listed errors is in effect, it will return the first one encountered in the order given below:

AAFRESULT_SUCCESS

succeeded. (This is the only code indicating success.)
