container formats: asf, avi, 3gp/mp4/mov, flv, mpeg-ps/ts, mkv/webm, mxf, ogg and more.
codecs : h264, h265, mjpeg, vp8 and more.

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs : 1, Media Format : Any
Outputs : 1, Media Format: Same as Input
Output Metadata : Video source information

Properties

Property	Description	Type	Default	Required
`source_type`	Type of video source : `stream` or `camera` Note: Console provides a way to select from amongst IP Camera Streams, RTSP Streams and USB Cameras and populates source type and source id only when you deploy a Pipeline. This property is not available in the Pipeline node editor. Source type Camera is only used for usb cameras.	string		True
`source_id`	UUID of the source to use (Stream ID or Camera ID) Note: Console provides a way to select from amongst IP Camera Streams, RTSP Streams and USB Cameras and populates source type and source id only when you deploy a Pipeline. This property is not available in the Pipeline node editor.	string		True
`framerate`	Outputs video converted to this frame rate, irrespective of the source's native frame rate. For USB Cameras, this node will select a frame rate from the set of frame rates that the camera supports, that is greater than or equal to the requested frame rate here.	integer		No
`resolution`	Outputs video converted to this resolution (widthxheight), irrespective of the source's native resolution. Ex `1920x1080` For USB Cameras, this node will select a resolution from the set of frame rates that the camera supports, that is greater than or equal to the requested resolution here.	string		No
`crop`	Crop video frame from each side by these many pixels. Format: `left:right:top:bottom`.	string	`0:0:0:0`	No
`flip`	Flip video in the specified direction. Options: null, `horizontal`, `vertical`.	enum	null	No
`rotate`	Rotate the video by this angle, free form.	integer		No
`rotate_fixed_angle`	Rotate the video by this angle. Options: null, `90`, `180`, `270`	enum	null	No
`extra_metadata`	JSON key value pair dictionary to store arbitrary metadata to be passed to other nodes in the pipeline. Ex: `{"key": "value"}`	JSON	null	No
`use_onvif_metadata`	Extract and insert ONVIF metadata from the input stream such as detected objects.	bool	False	No

Metadata

Metadata Property	Example	Description
`nodes.[node_id]`	`video1`	Describes the Video source properties. Format : as defined below. `[node_id]` for Video Source Nodes is of the form `videoX` (ex. `video1`)
`nodes.[node_id].type`	`video_source`	Node Type : `video_source`
`nodes.[node_id].source_type`	`stream`	Type of video source. `stream`, `camera`

`nodes.[node_id].source_name`	`Parking Lot test video`	Name of the video source as set in the Console
`nodes.[node_id].uri`	`rtsp://128.0.1.1/live0`	Full URI for the video source. Note: Credentials will be redacted from this URI for security purposes.
`nodes.[node_id].extra_metadata`	`{"key": "value"}`	Extra metadata inserted using `extra_metadata` node property
`nodes.[node_id].frame_number`	`5`	Frame number of this frame relative to start of video stream
`nodes.[node_id].timestamp`	`2025-11-11T16:43:57.536Z`	UTC Timestamp of this frame
