FFMPEG-SCALER(1)

NAME
ffmpeg-scaler - FFmpeg video scaling and pixel format converter

DESCRIPTION
The FFmpeg rescaler provides an high-level interface to the libswscale library image conversion utilities. In particular it allows to perform image rescaling and pixel format conversion.

SCALER OPTIONS
The video scaler supports the following named options.

Options may be set by specifying -option value in the FFmpeg tools. For programmatic use, they can be set explicitly in the "SwsContext" options or through the libavutil/opt.h API.

sws_flags
    Set the scaler flags. This is also used to set the scaling algorithm. Only a single algorithm should be selected.

    It accepts the following values:

    fast_bilinear
        Select fast bilinear scaling algorithm.

    bilinear
        Select bilinear scaling algorithm.

    bicubic
        Select bicubic scaling algorithm.

    experimental
        Select experimental scaling algorithm.

    neighbor
        Select nearest neighbor rescaling algorithm.

    area
        Select averaging area rescaling algorithm.

    bicubiclin
        Select bicubic scaling algorithm for the luma component, bilinear for chroma components.

    gauss
        Select Gaussian rescaling algorithm.

    sinc
        Select sinc rescaling algorithm.

    lanczos
        Select lanczos rescaling algorithm.

    spline
        Select natural bicubic spline rescaling algorithm.

    print_info
        Enable printing/debug logging.

    accurate_rnd
        Enable accurate rounding.

    full_chroma_int
        Enable full chroma interpolation.

    full_chroma_inp
        Select full chroma input.

    bitexact
        Enable bitexact output.

srcw
    Set source width.

srch
    Set source height.

dstw
    Set destination width.

dsth
    Set destination height.

src_format
    Set source pixel format (must be expressed as an integer).

dst_format
    Set destination pixel format (must be expressed as an integer).

src_range
    Select source range.

dst_range
    Select destination range.

param0, param1
    Set scaling algorithm parameters. The specified values are specific of some scaling algorithms and ignored by others. The specified values are floating point number values.
