Class: Streamer

@geenee/armature.Streamer

Streamer helper

Streams video of the ResponsiveCanvas backing a CanvasRenderer. ResponsiveCanvas is multi-layer, Every rendering update Streamer merges all snapshots onto the recording canvas. MediaStream instance is created for this canvas and provides access the generated video stream. There're several modes for resolution of the streamed video: "video" - streams in the same resolution as the video stream, "max"/"min" - in maximum/minimum size among layers of canvas. Additionally one can limit maximum resolution of the stream.
