Name Type Description
timestamp object Timestamp of video frame
frame_id string Frame of reference for the video. The origin of the frame is the optical center of the camera. +x points to the right in the video, +y points down, and +z points into the plane of the video.
data string Compressed video frame data. For packet-based video codecs this data must begin and end on packet boundaries (no partial packets), and must contain enough video packets to decode exactly one image (ei
format string Video format. Supported values: `h264`, `h265`, `vp9`, `av1`. Note: compressed video support is subject to hardware limitations and patent licensing, so not all encodings may be supported on all platf
