#Bitperfect fixed indexing update

You can check if this feature is available with CameraExtensionCharacteristics.isPostviewAvailable(). If an extension has increased processing latency, a postview image could be provided as a placeholder to improve UX and switched out later for the final image.

Postview Feature for Still Capture in Camera Extensions, which provides a less-processed image more quickly than the final image.

Extension specific metadata, such as CaptureRequest.EXTENSION_STRENGTH for dialing in the amount of an extension effect, such as the amount of background blur with EXTENSION_BOKEH.

You can check if this feature is available with CameraExtensionCharacteristics.isCaptureProcessProgressAvailable(), and if it is, you implement the onCaptureProcessProgressed() callback, which has the progress (from 0 to 100) passed in as a parameter.

Support for capture progress callbacks so that apps can display the current progress of long running still capture processing operations.

The getCaptureLatency() method returns the estimated latency between onCaptureStarted() and onCaptureProcessStarted(), and the getProcessingLatency() method returns the estimated latency between onCaptureProcessStarted() and the final processed frame being available. Call CameraExtensionSession.getRealtimeStillCaptureLatency() to get a StillCaptureLatency object, which has two latency estimation methods.

Dynamic still capture processing latency estimation provides much more accurate still capture latency estimates based on the current scene and environment conditions.

This will give users an even more robust experience when using Camera Extension capabilities. I am therefore giving away my original Wiim Mini, bought from Amazon DE, over on Patreon.ĭarko.Audio may earn a small commission from items purchased via affiliate links.Zoom, Focus, Postview, and more in Camera ExtensionsĪndroid 14 upgrades and improves Camera Extensions, allowing apps to handle longer processing times, enabling improved images using compute-intensive algorithms like low-light photography on supported devices. One final thought: since my review went live, Wiim has been in touch and is sending me a couple of Minis to use around the house whenever the occasion strikes. The Wiim Mini is now an even bigger bargain than it was two weeks ago. That means a line-level output when connecting the Wiim to an integrated amplifier via its 3.5mm analogue output and a bit-perfect stream when connecting it to a DAC over TOSLINK.Īnd that, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call progress. Of course, if you’re not fussed about hi-res, you won’t be fussed by this limitation.ģ) the Home app now features a ‘fixed output’ option that (presumably) bypasses the Mini’s DSP-based volume attenuator. That’s especially good news for Qobuz users delving into hi-res audio as Tidal is still capped at CD quality inside the Wiim app and with Tidal Connect.

a 16bit/44.1kHz stream will be output at 16bit/44.1kHz and a 24bit/192kHz stream will be dispatched at 24bit/192kHz.

#Bitperfect fixed indexing update

It’s been in beta testing for the past couple of weeks but this weekend Wiim is rolling out an over-the-air update to the Mini – version 42 – that rights the above wrongs.ġ) Streams instigated via the Home app now playback gaplessly: UPnP, Tidal and Qobuz.Ģ) all streams spun from the Mini’s TOSLINK socket are rendered bit-perfectly e.g. Grumbles were few but the TOSLINK output didn’t offer bit-perfect playback (all streams were resampled to 48kHz before dispatch), the internal digital volume control couldn’t be bypassed to give a fixed output – it could only be set to 100% – and Tidal/Qobuz/UPnP playback inside the Home app wasn’t gapless. That’s whole a lot of streaming functionality for a very reasonable €99/US$99. Two weeks ago, we took a deep dive on the Wiim Mini, a puck-sized streamer from China that offers Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal as well UPnP from Wiim’s Home smartphone app. UPDATE 17th March 2022: Not quite - the Wiim Home app still slices tiny gaps of silence between tracks.
