"inf" Source

Generates random image frames with a new metadata object for each one.

This source is primarily used in a performance/stress testing environment.

Along with the required source parameter type, the inf source accepts the following additional properties:

  • rate: The rate at which image frames are generated. Optional, if omitted generation rate will be uncapped.
note

The generation rate is currently capped at max 1000fps but this is an implementation detail and subject to change.
