Converting projected video to Apple Projected Media Profile
At a glance
| Item | Summary |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Convert content with equirectangular or half-equirectangular projection to APMP. |
| App architecture | A Swift sample with the source-visible chain ProjectedMediaConversion → APMPConverter → AVFoundation APIs. |
| Main patterns | No named application pattern supported by the extracted structure |
| Project style | 3 scanned source file(s) across Swift, organized around ranked entry, type, and file boundaries. |
| Execution model | Source-visible boundaries: Sendable or @Sendable, async declaration or closure; none alone proves a background thread. |
| State/event model | No structured observation or publisher-scheduling marker indexed. |
| Key frameworks/packages | AVFoundation, CoreMedia, Foundation, ArgumentParser, VideoToolbox; these are source dependencies, not architecture labels. |

- Primary languages: Swift.
- The verified tree contains 3 project/configuration file(s) and 5 source declaration(s).

}Interpretation
The arrows summarize the source-visible entry, role-named types or folders, and framework direction; when nodes come from structural folders, the sequence is a high-level interpretation rather than proof that every adjacent node calls the next. Ownership is claimed only where the next section cites a stored property or assignment. The diagram is intentionally limited to the dominant path into AVFoundation.

Ownership evidence
ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaConversion.swift:15 — stored dependency or nearest verified ownership anchor
@main
struct ProjectedMediaConversion: AsyncParsableCommand {
// ...
var sourceVideoPath: String
// ...
}| Owner | Object or state | Relationship | Mutation authority |
|---|---|---|---|
ProjectedMediaConversion |
String (sourceVideoPath) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
ProjectedMediaConversion |
Double (baselineInMillimeters) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
ProjectedMediaConversion |
Double (horizontalFOV) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
ProjectedMediaConversion |
String (projectionKind) |
owns value state | App/module collaborators |
Composition arrows indicate a source-visible construction expression or locally owned value state; aggregation means the owner stores or receives a dependency without proving exclusive lifetime ownership.
Concurrency, scheduling, and thread safety
Evidence limit: actor isolation, async/await, or Task creation does not by itself prove background-thread execution; Sendable conformance alone does not prove thread-safe mutation.
| Concern | Source mechanism | Verified placement or handoff | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transfer contract | Sendable or @Sendable |
The source declares a sendability boundary; this alone does not synchronize mutable state. | ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:27 |
| Suspension boundary | async declaration or closure |
The source declares or crosses an asynchronous boundary; it does not by itself establish background execution. | ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:37 |
@MainActor/MainActor.run, DispatchQueue.main, and RunLoop.main are reported as distinct isolation, queue, and event-loop mechanisms. A plain Task is kept separate from Task.detached; neither is labeled as a background thread.

}State propagation, frameworks, and dependencies
Evidence limit: an import proves a source-level compilation dependency at the cited line; it does not prove runtime use, architectural adoption, or whether a Swift package is a direct application dependency.
| Category | Mechanism or module | Verified role | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source import | AVFoundation |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:9 |
| Source import | CoreMedia |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:10 |
| Source import | Foundation |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:8 |
| Source import | ArgumentParser |

| Source import | VideoToolbox |
The cited file imports this module; runtime use and architectural role are not inferred. | ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:11 |
receive(on:) describes downstream delivery scheduling, while subscribe(on:) describes upstream subscription/request/cancel scheduling. An import Combine alone establishes neither behavior nor a Store, reducer, Redux, or other application architecture.
Class and protocol design
ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:27 — representative type boundary
final class APMPConverter: Sendable {
let sourceVideoFrameSize: CGSize
// ...
}| Type | Responsibility | Depends on or conforms to |
|---|---|---|
APMPConverter |
Transforms between feature representations | Sendable |
ProjectedMediaConversion |
Represents a feature value or composable behavior | AsyncParsableCommand |
ProjectedMediaMetadata |
Represents feature data | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
ConversionError |
Represents feature failure conditions | Error, CustomStringConvertible |
ProjectedMediaClassifier |
Owns feature behavior and collaborator lifecycle | Concrete collaborators/imported frameworks |
No local protocol conformance is claimed as protocol-oriented design; external framework conformances are listed only as dependencies.
Access control
| Symbol | Access | Verified effect | Likely rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
APMPConverter (ProjectedMediaConversion/Converter.swift:27) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
ProjectedMediaConversion (ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaConversion.swift:12) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
ProjectedMediaMetadata (ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaConversion.swift:89) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |
ProjectedMediaClassifier (ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaClassifier.swift:9) |
implicit internal |
No explicit modifier means the Swift declaration is internal to the module. | Inference: app-target collaboration needs no exported library surface. |

}Swift declarations without a modifier are internal; explicit private, fileprivate, private(set), public, or open entries above are interpreted by language semantics. Objective-C/C samples instead rely on header and implementation boundaries, which are not equivalent to Swift lexical privacy.
Logic ownership and placement
| Logic | Owning type or file | Placement rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Transforms between feature representations | APMPConverter |
The source’s Converter suffix makes this role explicit. |
Design patterns
| Pattern | Source evidence | Purpose or tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| No named application pattern | ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaConversion.swift:11 |
The verified source directly composes concrete framework types; this document avoids forcing a pattern name. |
Naming conventions
- Types: Converter: APMPConverter.
- Protocols: no local protocol declaration in the scanned source.
- Methods:
run,convertToAPMP,convertFrame,conformsToAPMPDeliveryVariant. - Files:
ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaConversion.swift,ProjectedMediaConversion/ProjectedMediaClassifier.swift.
Architecture takeaways
ProjectedMediaConversionis the main source-visible entry or composition anchor for this sample.- Framework work reaches AVFoundation, CoreMedia, ArgumentParser, VideoToolbox through a deliberately small high-level chain; the detailed API graph remains inside the cited implementation files.
- Stored-property evidence identifies lifecycle collaboration; it does not by itself prove exclusive object ownership.
- Access-control conclusions separate verified language visibility from the likely design rationale.
- The source does not justify labeling the design protocol-oriented.
