Detailed Description

This describes the conference bridge implementation in PJMEDIA. The conference bridge provides powerful and very efficient mechanism to route the audio flow and mix the audio signal when required.

Some more information about the media flow when conference bridge is used is described in http://www.pjsip.org/trac/wiki/media-flow .

Function Documentation

◆ pjmedia_conf_create()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_create ( pj_pool_t pool,
unsigned  max_slots,
unsigned  sampling_rate,
unsigned  channel_count,
unsigned  samples_per_frame,
unsigned  bits_per_sample,
unsigned  options,
pjmedia_conf **  p_conf 
)

Create conference bridge with the specified parameters. The sampling rate, samples per frame, and bits per sample will be used for the internal operation of the bridge (e.g. when mixing audio frames). However, ports with different configuration may be connected to the bridge. In this case, the bridge is able to perform sampling rate conversion, and buffering in case the samples per frame is different.

For this version of PJMEDIA, only 16bits per sample is supported.

For this version of PJMEDIA, the channel count of the ports MUST match the channel count of the bridge.

Under normal operation (i.e. when PJMEDIA_CONF_NO_DEVICE option is NOT specified), the bridge internally create an instance of sound device and connect the sound device to port zero of the bridge.

If PJMEDIA_CONF_NO_DEVICE options is specified, no sound device will be created in the conference bridge. Application MUST acquire the port interface of the bridge by calling pjmedia_conf_get_master_port(), and connect this port interface to a sound device port by calling pjmedia_snd_port_connect(), or to a master port (pjmedia_master_port) if application doesn't want to instantiate any sound devices.

The sound device or master port are crucial for the bridge's operation, because it provides the bridge with necessary clock to process the audio frames periodically. Internally, the bridge runs when get_frame() to port zero is called.

Parameters
poolPool to use to allocate the bridge and additional buffers for the sound device.
max_slotsMaximum number of slots/ports to be created in the bridge. Note that the bridge internally uses one port for the sound device, so the actual maximum number of ports will be less one than this value.
sampling_rateSet the sampling rate of the bridge. This value is also used to set the sampling rate of the sound device.
channel_countNumber of channels in the PCM stream. Normally the value will be 1 for mono, but application may specify a value of 2 for stereo. Note that all ports that will be connected to the bridge MUST have the same number of channels as the bridge.
samples_per_frameSet the number of samples per frame. This value is also used to set the sound device.
bits_per_sampleSet the number of bits per sample. This value is also used to set the sound device. Currently only 16bit per sample is supported.
optionsBitmask options to be set for the bridge. The options are constructed from pjmedia_conf_option enumeration.
p_confPointer to receive the conference bridge instance.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS if conference bridge can be created.

◆ pjmedia_conf_destroy()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_destroy ( pjmedia_conf conf)

Destroy conference bridge.

Parameters
confThe conference bridge.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.

◆ pjmedia_conf_get_master_port()

pjmedia_port * pjmedia_conf_get_master_port ( pjmedia_conf conf)

Get the master port interface of the conference bridge. The master port corresponds to the port zero of the bridge. This is only usefull when application wants to manage the sound device by itself, instead of allowing the bridge to automatically create a sound device implicitly.

This function will only return a port interface if PJMEDIA_CONF_NO_DEVICE option was specified when the bridge was created.

Application can connect the port returned by this function to a sound device by calling pjmedia_snd_port_connect().

Parameters
confThe conference bridge.
Returns
The port interface of port zero of the bridge, only when PJMEDIA_CONF_NO_DEVICE options was specified when the bridge was created.

◆ pjmedia_conf_set_port0_name()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_set_port0_name ( pjmedia_conf conf,
const pj_str_t name 
)

Set master port name.

Parameters
confThe conference bridge.
nameName to be assigned.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.

◆ pjmedia_conf_add_port()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_add_port ( pjmedia_conf conf,
pj_pool_t pool,
pjmedia_port strm_port,
const pj_str_t name,
unsigned *  p_slot 
)

Add media port to the conference bridge.

By default, the new conference port will have both TX and RX enabled, but it is not connected to any other ports. Application SHOULD call pjmedia_conf_connect_port() to enable audio transmission and receipt to/from this port.

Once the media port is connected to other port(s) in the bridge, the bridge will continuosly call get_frame() and put_frame() to the port, allowing media to flow to/from the port.

Parameters
confThe conference bridge.
poolPool to allocate buffers for this port.
strm_portStream port interface.
nameOptional name for the port. If this value is NULL, the name will be taken from the name in the port info.
p_slotPointer to receive the slot index of the port in the conference bridge.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.

◆ pjmedia_conf_configure_port()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_configure_port ( pjmedia_conf conf,
unsigned  slot,
pjmedia_port_op  tx,
pjmedia_port_op  rx 
)

Change TX and RX settings for the port.

Parameters
confThe conference bridge.
slotPort number/slot in the conference bridge.
txSettings for the transmission TO this port.
rxSettings for the receipt FROM this port.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.

◆ pjmedia_conf_connect_port()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_connect_port ( pjmedia_conf conf,
unsigned  src_slot,
unsigned  sink_slot,
int  adj_level 
)

Enable unidirectional audio from the specified source slot to the specified sink slot. Application may adjust the level to make signal transmitted from the source slot to the sink slot either louder or more quiet. The level adjustment is calculated with this formula: output = input * (adj_level+128) / 128. Using this, zero indicates no adjustment, the value -128 will mute the signal, and the value of +128 will make the signal 100% louder, +256 will make it 200% louder, etc.

The level adjustment will apply to a specific connection only (i.e. only for the signal from the source to the sink), as compared to pjmedia_conf_adjust_tx_level()/pjmedia_conf_adjust_rx_level() which applies to all signals from/to that port. The signal adjustment will be cumulative, in this following order: signal from the source will be adjusted with the level specified in pjmedia_conf_adjust_rx_level(), then with the level specified via this API, and finally with the level specified to the sink's pjmedia_conf_adjust_tx_level().

Parameters
confThe conference bridge.
src_slotSource slot.
sink_slotSink slot.
adj_levelAdjustment level, which must be greater than or equal to -128. A value of zero means there is no level adjustment to be made, the value -128 will mute the signal, and the value of +128 will make the signal 100% louder, +256 will make it 200% louder, etc. See the function description for the formula.
Returns
PJ_SUCCES on success.

◆ pjmedia_conf_disconnect_port()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_disconnect_port ( pjmedia_conf conf,

confThe conference bridge.
slotSlot number of the port.
adj_levelAdjustment level, which must be greater than or equal to -128. A value of zero means there is no level adjustment to be made, the value -128 will mute the signal, and the value of +128 will make the signal 100% louder, +256 will make it 200% louder, etc. See the function description for the formula.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.

unsigned  slot,
int  adj_level 
)

Adjust the level of signal to be transmitted to the specified port. Application may adjust the level to make signal transmitted to the port either louder or more quiet. The level adjustment is calculated with this formula: output = input * (adj_level+128) / 128. Using this, zero indicates no adjustment, the value -128 will mute the signal, and the value of +128 will make the signal 100% louder, +256 will make it 200% louder, etc.

confThe conference bridge.
slotSlot number of the port.
adj_levelAdjustment level, which must be greater than or equal to -128. A value of zero means there is no level adjustment to be made, the value -128 will mute the signal, and the value of +128 will make the signal 100% louder, +256 will make it 200% louder, etc. See the function description for the formula.
Returns
PJ_SUCCESS on success.

◆ pjmedia_conf_adjust_conn_level()

pj_status_t pjmedia_conf_adjust_conn_level ( pjmedia_conf conf,
unsigned  src_slot,
unsigned  sink_slot,
int  adj_level 
)

Adjust the level of signal to be transmitted from the source slot to the sink slot. Application may adjust the level to make signal transmitted from the source slot to the sink slot either louder or more quiet. The level adjustment is calculated with this formula: output = input * (adj_level+128) / 128. Using this, zero indicates no adjustment, the value -128 will mute the signal, and the value of +128 will make the signal 100% louder, +256 will make it 200% louder, etc.
