Description

Annotation Types Summary

AAFString	Labels a string of Unicode characters.
ArgIDType	Labels an AUID that defines an operation parameter.
AUIDArray	Labels an array of 16-byte unique identifiers.
Bool	Label for a Java boolean value used to represent an AAF Boolean value.
Char	Labels a single 2-byte character value, represented by a Java char.
ClassID	Label for an AUID that represents the category of a plugin.
CodecID	Labels an AUID used to identify a codec.
CompArray	Labels an array that specifies the order in which the RGBA components are stored as an array of characters.
CompSizeArray	Labels an array in which the elements represent the number of bits reserved for each component of an array of RGBAComponents.
DataBuffer	Labels a buffer of data (octet data), represented as a Java byte[].
DataValue	Labels essence or a block of data, represented by a Java byte[], where the type of the data is specified by a data kind.
EdgecodeHeader	Labels a Java byte array (byte[]) that represents the text prefix identifying a film, known as the edgecode header.
Engine	Labels an AUID representing a software engine id for the software subsystem used by a plugin for essence management and playback.
FrameLength	Label for a Java long value used to represent the length of some media as a frame count.
FrameOffset	Labels a Java long value as an offset into time-varying essence, measured as an offset and counted in frames.
HardwarePlatform	Labels an AUID that identifies a platform environment.
JPEGTableIDType	Labels an integer (Java int) value that identifies the JPEG tables used in compressing TIFF data.
LengthType	Labels a Java long value used to represent the length of a component.
MobIDType	Labels any mob id value holding a unique material identification number.
NumSlots	Labels an integer (Java int) value that counts the number of slots contained within a mob or the number of mobs stored in content storage.
PhaseFrameType	Labels an integer (Java int) value that represents the phase within the repeating pulldown pattern of the first frame after the pulldown conversion.
PluginAPI	Labels an AUID that identifies the plugin interface supported by a plugin.
PositionType	Labels a Java long value as an offset into a component.
RGBALayout	Labels an array of RGBAComponent values that represent the order and size of the components specifying the value of a pixel.
SlotID	Labels an integer (Java int) value used to uniquely identify a mob slot within a mob.
VideoLineMap	Labels an integer array (Java int[]) with 2 elements used to represent a video line map property.

Package tv.amwa.maj.misctype Description

Provides annotations that describe the mapping of miscellaneous AAF data types to Java data types. These annotations are designed to assist a developer by providing additional information about to interprete a value over and above the value's generic type definition.

Annotation usage

These annotations are primarily used to label methods in the MAJ API interfaces package and record packages. For example, the get and set methods for the video line map property of a digital image descriptor are:

    public @VideoLineMap int[] getVideoLineMap();

    public void setVideoLineMap(@VideoLineMap int[] videoLineMap)
        throws NullPointerException;

These annotations are provided for source code use only and are not available via the Java relection API at runtime.

Heritage

These annotations are derived from a combination of:

• the renamed type definitions of the standard AAF meta dictionary;
• type name aliases defined in the C-based AAF SDK in file "AAFTypes.h".

To look up the Java type used to represent a C data type in the AAF SDK, or vice versa, use the utility type lookup table.
