Merge commit 'v2.6.32' into reiserfs/kill-bkl

Browse source 
Merge-reason: The tree was based 2.6.31. It's better to be up to date
with 2.6.32. Although no conflicting changes were made in between,
it gives benchmarking results closer to the lastest kernel behaviour.

Description: CPU topology files that describe a logical CPU's relationship
to other cores and threads in the same physical package.
One cpu# directory is created per logical CPU in the system,
e.g. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu42/.
Briefly, the files above are:
core_id: the CPU core ID of cpu#. Typically it is the
hardware platform's identifier (rather than the kernel's).
The actual value is architecture and platform dependent.
core_siblings: internal kernel map of cpu#'s hardware threads
within the same physical_package_id.
core_siblings_list: human-readable list of the logical CPU
numbers within the same physical_package_id as cpu#.
physical_package_id: physical package id of cpu#. Typically
corresponds to a physical socket number, but the actual value
is architecture and platform dependent.
thread_siblings: internel kernel map of cpu#'s hardware
threads within the same core as cpu#
thread_siblings_list: human-readable list of cpu#'s hardware
threads within the same core as cpu#

The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the

be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command

<para>The program assumes that you are using a universal LNB and a standard DiSEqC
switch with up to 4 addresses. Of course, you could build in some more checking if
tuning was successful and maybe try to repeat the tuning process. Depending on the
external hardware, i.e. LNB and DiSEqC switch, and weather conditions this may be
necessary.

<title>What you need to know</title>
<para>The reader of this document is required to have some knowledge in
the area of digital video broadcasting (DVB) and should be familiar with
part I of the MPEG2 specification ISO/IEC 13818 (aka ITU-T H.222), i.e
you should know what a program/transport stream (PS/TS) is and what is
meant by a packetized elementary stream (PES) or an I-frame.</para>
<para>Various DVB standards documents are available from
<ulink url="http://www.dvb.org" /> and/or
<ulink url="http://www.etsi.org" />.</para>
<para>It is also necessary to know how to access unix/linux devices and
how to use ioctl calls. This also includes the knowledge of C or C++.

<title>History</title>
<para>The first API for DVB cards we used at Convergence in late 1999
was an extension of the Video4Linux API which was primarily developed
for frame grabber cards. As such it was not really well suited to be
used for DVB cards and their new features like recording MPEG streams
and filtering several section and PES data streams at the same time.
</para>
<para>In early 2000, we were approached by Nokia with a proposal for a
new standard Linux DVB API. As a commitment to the development of
terminals based on open standards, Nokia and Convergence made it
available to all Linux developers and published it on
<ulink url="http://www.linuxtv.org/" /> in September 2000.
Convergence is the maintainer of the Linux DVB API. Together with the

<para>A DVB PCI card or DVB set-top-box (STB) usually consists of the
following main hardware components: </para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Frontend consisting of tuner and DVB demodulator</para>
<para>Here the raw signal reaches the DVB hardware from a satellite dish
or antenna or directly from cable. The frontend down-converts and
demodulates this signal into an MPEG transport stream (TS). In case of a
satellite frontend, this includes a facility for satellite equipment
control (SEC), which allows control of LNB polarization, multi feed
switches or dish rotors.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Conditional Access (CA) hardware like CI adapters and smartcard slots
</para>
<para>The complete TS is passed through the CA hardware. Programs to
which the user has access (controlled by the smart card) are decoded in
real time and re-inserted into the TS.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Demultiplexer which filters the incoming DVB stream</para>
<para>The demultiplexer splits the TS into its components like audio and
video streams. Besides usually several of such audio and video streams
it also contains data streams with information about the programs
offered in this or other streams of the same provider.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>MPEG2 audio and video decoder</para>
<para>The main targets of the demultiplexer are the MPEG2 audio and
video decoders. After decoding they pass on the uncompressed audio and
video to the computer screen or (through a PAL/NTSC encoder) to a TV
set.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para><xref linkend="stb_components" /> shows a crude schematic of the control and data flow
between those components.</para>
<para>On a DVB PCI card not all of these have to be present since some
functionality can be provided by the main CPU of the PC (e.g. MPEG
picture and sound decoding) or is not needed (e.g. for data-only uses
like &#8220;internet over satellite&#8221;). Also not every card or STB
provides conditional access hardware.</para>
</section>
<section id="dvb_devices">
<title>Linux DVB Devices</title>
<para>The Linux DVB API lets you control these hardware components
through currently six Unix-style character devices for video, audio,
frontend, demux, CA and IP-over-DVB networking. The video and audio
devices control the MPEG2 decoder hardware, the frontend device the
tuner and the DVB demodulator. The demux device gives you control over
the PES and section filters of the hardware. If the hardware does not
support filtering these filters can be implemented in software. Finally,
the CA device controls all the conditional access capabilities of the
hardware. It can depend on the individual security requirements of the
platform, if and how many of the CA functions are made available to the
application through this device.</para>
<para>All devices can be found in the <emphasis role="tt">/dev</emphasis>
tree under <emphasis role="tt">/dev/dvb</emphasis>. The individual devices
are called:</para>

<para>More details about the data structures and function calls of all
the devices are described in the following chapters.</para>
</section>
<section id="include_files">
<title>API include files</title>
<para>For each of the DVB devices a corresponding include file exists.
The DVB API include files should be included in application sources with
a partial path like:</para>

#include &#x003C;linux/dvb/frontend.h&#x003E;
</programlisting>
<para>To enable applications to support different API version, an
additional include file <emphasis

<title>ISDB-T frontend</title>
<para>This section describes shortly what are the possible parameters in the Linux
DVB-API called "S2API" and now DVB API 5 in order to tune an ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb
demodulator:</para>
<para>This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information
needed to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible
that some very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to
tune.</para>
<para>The information given here should help application writers to know how
to handle ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb hardware using the Linux DVB-API.</para>
<para>The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values,
but surely some information is left out. For more detailed information
see the following documents:</para>
<para>ARIB STD-B31 - "Transmission System for Digital Terrestrial
Television Broadcasting" and</para>
<para>ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial
Television Broadcasting".</para>
<para>In order to read this document one has to have some knowledge the
channel structure in ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has to be known to
the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13 segments, that it can
have up to 3 layer sharing those segments, and things like that.</para>

valid frequncy could be 474143 kHz. The stepping is bound to the bandwidth of
the channel which is 6MHz.</para>

frequency step is 429kHz, 3*429 respectively. As for ISDB-T the
central frequency of the channel is expected.</para>

<para>(Note of the author: This might not be the correct description of the
<constant>SUBCHANNEL-ID</constant> in all details, but it is my understanding of the technical
background needed to program a device)</para>
<para>An ISDB-Tsb channel (1 or 3 segments) can be broadcasted alone or in a
set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
channel can be received independently. The number of connected
ISDB-Tsb segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum
bandwidth available.</para>
<para>Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the
air: Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8
segments from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.</para>
<para>The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.</para>
<para>An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for
the example above, in ISDB-Tsb it is no longer as simple as that.</para>
<para><constant>The DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID</constant> parameter is used to give the

<section id="isdb-hierq-layers">
<title>Hierarchical layers</title>
<para>ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 viterbi and 3 reed-solomon-decoders.</para>
<para>ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has
to 13 in ISDB-T.</para>
<section id="isdbt-layer-ena">
<title><constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant></title>
<para>Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of
<constant>DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED</constant> to '1' forces all layers (if applicable) to be
demodulated. This is the default.</para>
<para>If the channel is in the partial reception mode
(<constant>DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION</constant> = 1) the central segment can be decoded
independently of the other 12 segments. In that mode layer A has to
have a <constant>SEGMENT_COUNT</constant> of 1.</para>

<chapter id="uio_pci_generic" xreflabel="Using Generic driver for PCI cards">
<?dbhtml filename="uio_pci_generic.html"?>
<title>Generic PCI UIO driver</title>
<para>
The generic driver is a kernel module named uio_pci_generic.
It can work with any device compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and
any compliant PCI Express device. Using this, you only need to
write the userspace driver, removing the need to write
a hardware-specific kernel module.
</para>
<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_binding">
<title>Making the driver recognize the device</title>
<para>
Since the driver does not declare any device ids, it will not get loaded
automatically and will not automatically bind to any devices, you must load it
and allocate id to the driver yourself. For example:
<programlisting>
modprobe uio_pci_generic
echo &quot;8086 10f5&quot; &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/new_id
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
If there already is a hardware specific kernel driver for your device, the
generic driver still won't bind to it, in this case if you want to use the
generic driver (why would you?) you'll have to manually unbind the hardware
specific driver and bind the generic driver, like this:
<programlisting>
echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/e1000e/unbind
echo -n 0000:00:19.0 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic/bind
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver
by looking for it in sysfs, for example like the following:
<programlisting>
ls -l /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:19.0/driver
</programlisting>
Which if successful should print
<programlisting>
.../0000:00:19.0/driver -&gt; ../../../bus/pci/drivers/uio_pci_generic
</programlisting>
Note that the generic driver will not bind to old PCI 2.2 devices.
If binding the device failed, run the following command:
<programlisting>
dmesg
</programlisting>
and look in the output for failure reasons
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_internals">
<title>Things to know about uio_pci_generic</title>
<para>
Interrupts are handled using the Interrupt Disable bit in the PCI command
register and Interrupt Status bit in the PCI status register. All devices
compliant to PCI 2.3 (circa 2002) and all compliant PCI Express devices should
support these bits. uio_pci_generic detects this support, and won't bind to
devices which do not support the Interrupt Disable Bit in the command register.
</para>
<para>
On each interrupt, uio_pci_generic sets the Interrupt Disable bit.
This prevents the device from generating further interrupts
until the bit is cleared. The userspace driver should clear this
bit before blocking and waiting for more interrupts.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_userspace">
<title>Writing userspace driver using uio_pci_generic</title>
<para>
Userspace driver can use pci sysfs interface, or the
libpci libray that wraps it, to talk to the device and to
re-enable interrupts by writing to the command register.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="uio_pci_generic_example">

<title>Video Capture Interface</title>
<para>Video capture devices sample an analog video signal and store
the digitized images in memory. Today nearly all devices can capture
at full 25 or 30 frames/second. With this interface applications can
control the capture process and move images from the driver into user
space.</para>
<para>Conventionally V4L2 video capture devices are accessed through
character device special files named <filename>/dev/video</filename>
and <filename>/dev/video0</filename> to
<filename>/dev/video63</filename> with major number 81 and minor
numbers 0 to 63. <filename>/dev/video</filename> is typically a
symbolic link to the preferred video device. Note the same device
files are used for video output devices.</para>

<para>Some video output devices can overlay a framebuffer image onto

<section>
<title>Framebuffer</title>
<para>Contrary to the <wordasword>Video Overlay</wordasword>
interface the framebuffer is normally implemented on the TV card and
not the graphics card. On Linux it is accessible as a framebuffer
device (<filename>/dev/fbN</filename>). Given a V4L2 device,
applications can find the corresponding framebuffer device by calling
the &VIDIOC-G-FBUF; ioctl. It returns, amongst other information, the
physical address of the framebuffer in the
<structfield>base</structfield> field of &v4l2-framebuffer;. The
framebuffer device ioctl <constant>FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO</constant>
returns the same address in the <structfield>smem_start</structfield>
field of struct <structname>fb_fix_screeninfo</structname>. The
<constant>FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO</constant> ioctl and struct
<structname>fb_fix_screeninfo</structname> are defined in the
<filename>linux/fb.h</filename> header file.</para>
<para>The width and height of the framebuffer depends on the
current video standard. A V4L2 driver may reject attempts to change
the video standard (or any other ioctl which would imply a framebuffer
size change) with an &EBUSY; until all applications closed the
framebuffer device.</para>

<title>Overlay Window and Scaling</title>
<para>The overlay is controlled by source and target rectangles.
The source rectangle selects a subsection of the framebuffer image to
be overlaid, the target rectangle an area in the outgoing video signal
where the image will appear. Drivers may or may not support scaling,
and arbitrary sizes and positions of these rectangles. Further drivers
may support any (or none) of the clipping/blending methods defined for
the <link linkend="overlay">Video Overlay</link> interface.</para>
<para>A &v4l2-window; defines the size of the source rectangle,
its position in the framebuffer and the clipping/blending method to be
used for the overlay. To get the current parameters applications set
the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-format; to
<constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_OVERLAY</constant> and call the
&VIDIOC-G-FMT; ioctl. The driver fills the
<structname>v4l2_window</structname> substructure named
<structfield>win</structfield>. It is not possible to retrieve a
previously programmed clipping list or bitmap.</para>
<para>To program the source rectangle applications set the
<structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-format; to
<constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_OUTPUT_OVERLAY</constant>, initialize
the <structfield>win</structfield> substructure and call the
&VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl. The driver adjusts the parameters against
hardware limits and returns the actual parameters as
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> does. Like
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant>, the &VIDIOC-TRY-FMT; ioctl can be
used to learn about driver capabilities without actually changing
driver state. Unlike <constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> this also works
after the overlay has been enabled.</para>
<para>A &v4l2-crop; defines the size and position of the target
rectangle. The scaling factor of the overlay is implied by the width
and height given in &v4l2-window; and &v4l2-crop;. The cropping API
applies to <wordasword>Video Output</wordasword> and <wordasword>Video
Output Overlay</wordasword> devices in the same way as to
<wordasword>Video Capture</wordasword> and <wordasword>Video

<title>Video Overlay Interface</title>
<subtitle>Also known as Framebuffer Overlay or Previewing</subtitle>
<para>Video overlay devices have the ability to genlock (TV-)video
into the (VGA-)video signal of a graphics card, or to store captured
images directly in video memory of a graphics card, typically with
clipping. This can be considerable more efficient than capturing
images and displaying them by other means. In the old days when only
nuclear power plants needed cooling towers this used to be the only
way to put live video into a window.</para>
<para>Video overlay devices are accessed through the same character
special files as <link linkend="capture">video capture</link> devices.
Note the default function of a <filename>/dev/video</filename> device
is video capturing. The overlay function is only available after
calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl.</para>
<para>The driver may support simultaneous overlay and capturing
using the read/write and streaming I/O methods. If so, operation at
the nominal frame rate of the video standard is not guaranteed. Frames
may be directed away from overlay to capture, or one field may be used
for overlay and the other for capture if the capture parameters permit
this.</para>
<para>Applications should use different file descriptors for
capturing and overlay. This must be supported by all drivers capable
of simultaneous capturing and overlay. Optionally these drivers may
also permit capturing and overlay with a single file descriptor for
compatibility with V4L and earlier versions of V4L2.<footnote>
<para>A common application of two file descriptors is the
XFree86 <link linkend="xvideo">Xv/V4L</link> interface driver and
a V4L2 application. While the X server controls video overlay, the
application can take advantage of memory mapping and DMA.</para>
<para>In the opinion of the designers of this API, no driver
writer taking the efforts to support simultaneous capturing and
overlay will restrict this ability by requiring a single file
descriptor, as in V4L and earlier versions of V4L2. Making this
optional means applications depending on two file descriptors need
backup routines to be compatible with all drivers, which is
considerable more work than using two fds in applications which do
not. Also two fd's fit the general concept of one file descriptor for
each logical stream. Hence as a complexity trade-off drivers
<emphasis>must</emphasis> support two file descriptors and
<emphasis>may</emphasis> support single fd operation.</para>

the frame buffer and the image format, for example RGB 5:6:5. The
&VIDIOC-G-FBUF; and &VIDIOC-S-FBUF; ioctls are available to get
and set these parameters, respectively. The
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant> ioctl is privileged because it
allows to set up DMA into physical memory, bypassing the memory
protection mechanisms of the kernel. Only the superuser can change the
frame buffer address and size. Users are not supposed to run TV
applications as root or with SUID bit set. A small helper application
with suitable privileges should query the graphics system and program
the V4L2 driver at the appropriate time.</para>
<para>Some devices add the video overlay to the output signal
of the graphics card. In this case the frame buffer is not modified by
the video device, and the frame buffer address and pixel format are
not needed by the driver. The <constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant> ioctl
is not privileged. An application can check for this type of device by
calling the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> ioctl.</para>

<title>Raw VBI Data Interface</title>
<para>VBI is an abbreviation of Vertical Blanking Interval, a gap
in the sequence of lines of an analog video signal. During VBI
no picture information is transmitted, allowing some time while the
electron beam of a cathode ray tube TV returns to the top of the
screen. Using an oscilloscope you will find here the vertical
synchronization pulses and short data packages ASK
modulated<footnote><para>ASK: Amplitude-Shift Keying. A high signal
level represents a '1' bit, a low level a '0' bit.</para></footnote>
onto the video signal. These are transmissions of services such as
Teletext or Closed Caption.</para>
<para>Subject of this interface type is raw VBI data, as sampled off
a video signal, or to be added to a signal for output.
The data format is similar to uncompressed video images, a number of
lines times a number of samples per line, we call this a VBI image.</para>
<para>Conventionally V4L2 VBI devices are accessed through character
device special files named <filename>/dev/vbi</filename> and
<filename>/dev/vbi0</filename> to <filename>/dev/vbi31</filename> with
major number 81 and minor numbers 224 to 255.
<filename>/dev/vbi</filename> is typically a symbolic link to the
preferred VBI device. This convention applies to both input and output
devices.</para>
<para>To address the problems of finding related video and VBI
devices VBI capturing and output is also available as device function
under <filename>/dev/video</filename>. To capture or output raw VBI
data with these devices applications must call the &VIDIOC-S-FMT;
ioctl. Accessed as <filename>/dev/vbi</filename>, raw VBI capturing
or output is the default device function.</para>
<section>
<title>Querying Capabilities</title>
<para>Devices supporting the raw VBI capturing or output API set

<title>Raw VBI Format Negotiation</title>
<para>Raw VBI sampling abilities can vary, in particular the
sampling frequency. To properly interpret the data V4L2 specifies an
ioctl to query the sampling parameters. Moreover, to allow for some
flexibility applications can also suggest different parameters.</para>
<para>As usual these parameters are <emphasis>not</emphasis>
reset at &func-open; time to permit Unix tool chains, programming a
device and then reading from it as if it was a plain file. Well
written V4L2 applications should always ensure they really get what
they want, requesting reasonable parameters and then checking if the
actual parameters are suitable.</para>
<para>To query the current raw VBI capture parameters
applications set the <structfield>type</structfield> field of a
&v4l2-format; to <constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or
<constant>V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VBI_OUTPUT</constant>, and call the
&VIDIOC-G-FMT; ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers fill
the &v4l2-vbi-format; <structfield>vbi</structfield> member of the
<structfield>fmt</structfield> union.</para>
<para>To request different parameters applications set the
<structfield>type</structfield> field of a &v4l2-format; as above and
initialize all fields of the &v4l2-vbi-format;
<structfield>vbi</structfield> member of the
<structfield>fmt</structfield> union, or better just modify the
results of <constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant>, and call the
&VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers return
an &EINVAL; only when the given parameters are ambiguous, otherwise
they modify the parameters according to the hardware capabilites and
return the actual parameters. When the driver allocates resources at
this point, it may return an &EBUSY; to indicate the returned
parameters are valid but the required resources are currently not
available. That may happen for instance when the video and VBI areas
to capture would overlap, or when the driver supports multiple opens
and another process already requested VBI capturing or output. Anyway,
applications must expect other resource allocation points which may
return <errorcode>EBUSY</errorcode>, at the &VIDIOC-STREAMON; ioctl
and the first read(), write() and select() call.</para>
<para>VBI devices must implement both the
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> and
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> ioctl, even if
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant> ignores all requests and always
returns default parameters as <constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant> does.
<constant>VIDIOC_TRY_FMT</constant> is optional.</para>

<title>Sliced VBI Data Interface</title>
<para>VBI stands for Vertical Blanking Interval, a gap in the
sequence of lines of an analog video signal. During VBI no picture
information is transmitted, allowing some time while the electron beam
of a cathode ray tube TV returns to the top of the screen.</para>
<para>Sliced VBI devices use hardware to demodulate data transmitted
in the VBI. V4L2 drivers shall <emphasis>not</emphasis> do this by
software, see also the <link linkend="raw-vbi">raw VBI
interface</link>. The data is passed as short packets of fixed size,
covering one scan line each. The number of packets per video frame is
variable.</para>
<para>Sliced VBI capture and output devices are accessed through the
same character special files as raw VBI devices. When a driver
supports both interfaces, the default function of a
<filename>/dev/vbi</filename> device is <emphasis>raw</emphasis> VBI
capturing or output, and the sliced VBI function is only available
after calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl as defined below. Likewise a
<filename>/dev/video</filename> device may support the sliced VBI API,
however the default function here is video capturing or output.
Different file descriptors must be used to pass raw and sliced VBI
data simultaneously, if this is supported by the driver.</para>
<section>
<title>Querying Capabilities</title>
<para>Devices supporting the sliced VBI capturing or output API
set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or
<constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT</constant> flag respectively, in
the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. At least one of the
read/write, streaming or asynchronous <link linkend="io">I/O
methods</link> must be supported. Sliced VBI devices may have a tuner
or modulator.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Supplemental Functions</title>
<para>Sliced VBI devices shall support <link linkend="video">video
input or output</link> and <link linkend="tuner">tuner or
modulator</link> ioctls if they have these capabilities, and they may
support <link linkend="control">control</link> ioctls. The <link
linkend="standard">video standard</link> ioctls provide information
vital to program a sliced VBI device, therefore must be
supported.</para>
</section>
<section id="sliced-vbi-format-negotitation">
<title>Sliced VBI Format Negotiation</title>
<para>To find out which data services are supported by the
hardware applications can call the &VIDIOC-G-SLICED-VBI-CAP; ioctl.
All drivers implementing the sliced VBI interface must support this
ioctl. The results may differ from those of the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl
when the number of VBI lines the hardware can capture or output per
frame, or the number of services it can identify on a given line are
limited. For example on PAL line 16 the hardware may be able to look
for a VPS or Teletext signal, but not both at the same time.</para>
<para>To determine the currently selected services applications
set the <structfield>type </structfield> field of &v4l2-format; to
<constant> V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or <constant>
V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT</constant>, and the &VIDIOC-G-FMT;
ioctl fills the <structfield>fmt.sliced</structfield> member, a
&v4l2-sliced-vbi-format;.</para>
<para>Applications can request different parameters by
initializing or modifying the <structfield>fmt.sliced</structfield>
member and calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl with a pointer to the
<structname>v4l2_format</structname> structure.</para>
<para>The sliced VBI API is more complicated than the raw VBI API
because the hardware must be told which VBI service to expect on each
scan line. Not all services may be supported by the hardware on all
lines (this is especially true for VBI output where Teletext is often
unsupported and other services can only be inserted in one specific
line). In many cases, however, it is sufficient to just set the
<structfield>service_set</structfield> field to the required services
and let the driver fill the <structfield>service_lines</structfield>
array according to hardware capabilities. Only if more precise control
is needed should the programmer set the
<structfield>service_lines</structfield> array explicitly.</para>
<para>The &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl modifies the parameters
according to hardware capabilities. When the driver allocates
resources at this point, it may return an &EBUSY; if the required
resources are temporarily unavailable. Other resource allocation
points which may return <errorcode>EBUSY</errorcode> can be the
&VIDIOC-STREAMON; ioctl and the first &func-read;, &func-write; and
&func-select; call.</para>

<para>It may also be the case that a device can embed sliced VBI

<para><emphasis>Historical context</emphasis>: This format
specification originates from a custom, embedded, sliced VBI data
format used by the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver. This format
has already been informally specified in the kernel sources in the
file <filename>Documentation/video4linux/cx2341x/README.vbi</filename>
. The maximum size of the payload and other aspects of this format
are driven by the CX23415 MPEG decoder's capabilities and limitations
with respect to extracting, decoding, and displaying sliced VBI data
embedded within an MPEG stream.</para>
<para>This format's use is <emphasis>not</emphasis> exclusive to
the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver <emphasis>nor</emphasis>
exclusive to CX2341x devices, as the sliced VBI data packet insertion
into the MPEG stream is implemented in driver software. At least the
<filename>cx18</filename> driver provides sliced VBI data insertion
into an MPEG-2 PS in this format as well.</para>
<para>The following definitions specify the payload of the
MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES</emphasis> packets that contain
sliced VBI data when <link linkend="v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt">
<constant>V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV</constant></link> is set.
(The MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES</emphasis> packet header
and encapsulating MPEG-2 <emphasis>Program Pack</emphasis> header are
not detailed here. Please refer to the MPEG-2 specifications for
details on those packet headers.)</para>
<para>The payload of the MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES
</emphasis> packets that contain sliced VBI data is specified by
&v4l2-mpeg-vbi-fmt-ivtv;. The payload is variable
length, depending on the actual number of lines of sliced VBI data
present in a video frame. The payload may be padded at the end with
unspecified fill bytes to align the end of the payload to a 4-byte

<title>Teletext Interface</title>
<para>This interface aims at devices receiving and demodulating
Teletext data [<xref linkend="ets300706" />, <xref linkend="itu653" />], evaluating the
Teletext packages and storing formatted pages in cache memory. Such
devices are usually implemented as microcontrollers with serial
interface (I<superscript>2</superscript>C) and can be found on older
TV cards, dedicated Teletext decoding cards and home-brew devices
connected to the PC parallel port.</para>
<para>The Teletext API was designed by Martin Buck. It is defined in
the kernel header file <filename>linux/videotext.h</filename>, the
specification is available from <ulink url="ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/videotext/">
ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/videotext/</ulink>. (Videotext is the name of
the German public television Teletext service.) Conventional character
device file names are <filename>/dev/vtx</filename> and
<filename>/dev/vttuner</filename>, with device number 83, 0 and 83, 16
respectively. A similar interface exists for the Philips SAA5249
Teletext decoder [specification?] with character device file names
<filename>/dev/tlkN</filename>, device number 102, N.</para>
<para>Eventually the Teletext API was integrated into the V4L API
with character device file names <filename>/dev/vtx0</filename> to
<filename>/dev/vtx31</filename>, device major number 81, minor numbers
192 to 223. For reference the V4L Teletext API specification is
reproduced here in full: "Teletext interfaces talk the existing VTX
API." Teletext devices with major number 83 and 102 will be removed in
Linux 2.6.</para>
<para>There are no plans to replace the Teletext API or to integrate
it into V4L2. Please write to the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;
when the need arises.</para>

<!--
<para>V4L2 is a two-layer driver system. The top layer is the "videodev"
kernel module. When videodev initializes it registers as character device
with major number 81, and it registers a set of file operations. All V4L2
drivers are really clients of videodev, which calls V4L2 drivers through
driver method functions. V4L2 drivers are also written as kernel modules.
After probing the hardware they register one or more devices with
videodev.</para>

<para>
The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or
other written document <quote>free</quote> in the sense of
freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and
redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either
commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License
preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for
their work, while not being considered responsible for
modifications made by others.
</para>
<para>
This License is a kind of <quote>copyleft</quote>, which means
that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in
the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License,
which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
</para>
<para>
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
free program should come with manuals providing the same
freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
whose purpose is instruction or reference.

<title>1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS</title>
<para id="fdl-document">
This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be

work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed
as <quote>you</quote>.
</para>
<para id="fdl-modified">
A <quote>Modified Version</quote> of the Document means any work
containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied
verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another
language.
</para>
<para id="fdl-secondary">
A <quote>Secondary Section</quote> is a named appendix or a
front-matter section of the <link
linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> that deals exclusively
with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the
Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related
matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within
that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a
textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
connection with the subject or with related matters, or of
legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
regarding them.

<para id="fdl-invariant">
The <quote>Invariant Sections</quote> are certain <link

The <quote>Cover Texts</quote> are certain short passages of

</para>
<para id="fdl-transparent">
A <quote>Transparent</quote> copy of the <link
linkend="fdl-document"> Document</link> means a machine-readable
copy, represented in a format whose specification is available
to the general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited
directly and straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for
images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for
drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is
suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic
translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text
formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format
whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy
that is not <quote>Transparent</quote> is called
<quote>Opaque</quote>.
</para>
<para>
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include
plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input
format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
standard-conforming simple HTML designed for human
modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF,
proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD
and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the
machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for
output purposes only.

The <quote>Title Page</quote> means, for a printed book, the
title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to

commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that
you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this
License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or
control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or
distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for

<title>3. COPYING IN QUANTITY</title>
<para>
If you publish printed copies of the <link
linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100,
and the Document's license notice requires <link
linkend="fdl-cover-texts">Cover Texts</link>, you must enclose
the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these
Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also
clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these
copies. The front cover must present the full title with all
words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add
other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes
limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the
<link linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> and satisfy these
conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other
respects.
</para>
<para>
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
adjacent pages.
</para>
<para>
If you publish or distribute <link
linkend="fdl-transparent">Opaque</link> copies of the <link
linkend="fdl-document">Document</link> numbering more than 100,
you must either include a machine-readable <link

each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a
publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a
complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added
material, which the general network-using public has access to
download anonymously at no charge using public-standard network
protocols. If you use the latter option, you must take
reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly
or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the

<title>Description</title>
<para>The <function>ioctl()</function> function is used to program
V4L2 devices. The argument <parameter>fd</parameter> must be an open
file descriptor. An ioctl <parameter>request</parameter> has encoded
in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write
parameter, and the size of the argument <parameter>argp</parameter> in
bytes. Macros and defines specifying V4L2 ioctl requests are located
in the <link linkend="videodev">videodev.h</link> header file.
Applications should use their own copy, not include the version in the
kernel sources on the system they compile on. All V4L2 ioctl requests,
their respective function and parameters are specified in <xref
linkend="user-func" />.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success the <function>ioctl()</function> function returns
<returnvalue>0</returnvalue> and does not reset the
<varname>errno</varname> variable. On failure
<returnvalue>-1</returnvalue> is returned, when the ioctl takes an
output or read/write parameter it remains unmodified, and the
<varname>errno</varname> variable is set appropriately. See below for
possible error codes. Generic errors like <errorcode>EBADF</errorcode>
or <errorcode>EFAULT</errorcode> are not listed in the sections
discussing individual ioctl requests.</para>

<title>Description</title>
<para>With the <function>poll()</function> function applications
can suspend execution until the driver has captured data or is ready
to accept data for output.</para>
<para>When streaming I/O has been negotiated this function waits
until a buffer has been filled or displayed and can be dequeued with
the &VIDIOC-DQBUF; ioctl. When buffers are already in the outgoing
queue of the driver the function returns immediately.</para>
<para>On success <function>poll()</function> returns the number of
file descriptors that have been selected (that is, file descriptors
for which the <structfield>revents</structfield> field of the
respective <structname>pollfd</structname> structure is non-zero).
Capture devices set the <constant>POLLIN</constant> and
<constant>POLLRDNORM</constant> flags in the
<structfield>revents</structfield> field, output devices the
<constant>POLLOUT</constant> and <constant>POLLWRNORM</constant>
flags. When the function timed out it returns a value of zero, on
failure it returns <returnvalue>-1</returnvalue> and the
<varname>errno</varname> variable is set appropriately. When the
application did not call &VIDIOC-QBUF; or &VIDIOC-STREAMON; yet the
<function>poll()</function> function succeeds, but sets the
<constant>POLLERR</constant> flag in the
<structfield>revents</structfield> field.</para>
<para>When use of the <function>read()</function> function has
been negotiated and the driver does not capture yet, the
<function>poll</function> function starts capturing. When that fails
it returns a <constant>POLLERR</constant> as above. Otherwise it waits
until data has been captured and can be read. When the driver captures
continuously (as opposed to, for example, still images) the function
may return immediately.</para>
<para>When use of the <function>write()</function> function has
been negotiated the <function>poll</function> function just waits
until the driver is ready for a non-blocking
<function>write()</function> call.</para>
<para>All drivers implementing the <function>read()</function> or

<title>Description</title>
<para><function>read()</function> attempts to read up to
<parameter>count</parameter> bytes from file descriptor
<parameter>fd</parameter> into the buffer starting at
<parameter>buf</parameter>. The layout of the data in the buffer is
discussed in the respective device interface section, see ##. If <parameter>count</parameter> is zero,
<function>read()</function> returns zero and has no other results. If
<parameter>count</parameter> is greater than
<constant>SSIZE_MAX</constant>, the result is unspecified. Regardless
of the <parameter>count</parameter> value each
<function>read()</function> call will provide at most one frame (two
fields) worth of data.</para>
<para>By default <function>read()</function> blocks until data
becomes available. When the <constant>O_NONBLOCK</constant> flag was
given to the &func-open; function it
returns immediately with an &EAGAIN; when no data is available. The
&func-select; or &func-poll; functions
can always be used to suspend execution until data becomes available. All
drivers supporting the <function>read()</function> function must also
support <function>select()</function> and
<function>poll()</function>.</para>
<para>Drivers can implement read functionality in different
ways, using a single or multiple buffers and discarding the oldest or
newest frames once the internal buffers are filled.</para>
<para><function>read()</function> never returns a "snapshot" of a
buffer being filled. Using a single buffer the driver will stop
capturing when the application starts reading the buffer until the
read is finished. Thus only the period of the vertical blanking
interval is available for reading, or the capture rate must fall below
the nominal frame rate of the video standard.</para>
<para>The behavior of
<function>read()</function> when called during the active picture
period or the vertical blanking separating the top and bottom field
depends on the discarding policy. A driver discarding the oldest
frames keeps capturing into an internal buffer, continuously
overwriting the previously, not read frame, and returns the frame
being received at the time of the <function>read()</function> call as
soon as it is complete.</para>
<para>A driver discarding the newest frames stops capturing until
the next <function>read()</function> call. The frame being received at
<function>read()</function> time is discarded, returning the following
frame instead. Again this implies a reduction of the capture rate to
one half or less of the nominal frame rate. An example of this model
is the video read mode of the bttv driver, initiating a DMA to user
memory when <function>read()</function> is called and returning when
the DMA finished.</para>
<para>In the multiple buffer model drivers maintain a ring of
internal buffers, automatically advancing to the next free buffer.
This allows continuous capturing when the application can empty the
buffers fast enough. Again, the behavior when the driver runs out of
free buffers depends on the discarding policy.</para>
<para>Applications can get and set the number of buffers used
internally by the driver with the &VIDIOC-G-PARM; and &VIDIOC-S-PARM;
ioctls. They are optional, however. The discarding policy is not
reported and cannot be changed. For minimum requirements see <xref
linkend="devices" />.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Return Value</title>
<para>On success, the number of bytes read is returned. It is not
an error if this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested,
or the amount of data required for one frame. This may happen for
example because <function>read()</function> was interrupted by a
signal. On error, -1 is returned, and the <varname>errno</varname>
variable is set appropriately. In this case the next read will start
at the beginning of a new frame. Possible error codes are:</para>

<title>Libv4l Userspace Library</title>
<section id="libv4l-introduction">
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction
layer on top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin) layer
is to make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of
devices without having to write separate code for different devices in the
same class.</para>
<para>An example of using libv4l is provided by
<link linkend='v4l2grab-example'>v4l2grab</link>.
</para>
<para>libv4l consists of 3 different libraries:</para>
<section>
<title>libv4lconvert</title>
<para>libv4lconvert is a library that converts several
different pixelformats found in V4L2 drivers into a few common RGB and
YUY formats.</para>
<para>It currently accepts the following V4L2 driver formats:

and <link linkend="V4L2-PIX-FMT-YVYU"><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVYU</constant></link>.
</para>
<para>Later on libv4lconvert was expanded to also be able to do
various video processing functions to improve webcam video quality.
The video processing is split in to 2 parts: libv4lconvert/control and
libv4lconvert/processing.</para>
<para>The control part is used to offer video controls which can
be used to control the video processing functions made available by
libv4lconvert/processing. These controls are stored application wide
(until reboot) by using a persistent shared memory object.</para>
<para>libv4lconvert/processing offers the actual video
processing functionality.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>libv4l1</title>
<para>This library offers functions that can be used to quickly
make v4l1 applications work with v4l2 devices. These functions work exactly
like the normal open/close/etc, except that libv4l1 does full emulation of
the v4l1 api on top of v4l2 drivers, in case of v4l1 drivers it
will just pass calls through.</para>
<para>Since those functions are emulations of the old V4L1 API,
it shouldn't be used for new applications.</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>libv4l2</title>
<para>This library should be used for all modern V4L2
applications.</para>
<para>It provides handles to call V4L2 open/ioctl/close/poll
methods. Instead of just providing the raw output of the device, it enhances
the calls in the sense that it will use libv4lconvert to provide more video
formats and to enhance the image quality.</para>
<para>In most cases, libv4l2 just passes the calls directly
through to the v4l2 driver, intercepting the calls to
<link linkend='vidioc-g-fmt'><constant>VIDIOC_TRY_FMT</constant></link>,
<link linkend='vidioc-g-fmt'><constant>VIDIOC_G_FMT</constant></link>
<link linkend='vidioc-g-fmt'><constant>VIDIOC_S_FMT</constant></link>
<link linkend='vidioc-enum-framesizes'><constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES</constant></link>
and <link linkend='vidioc-enum-frameintervals'><constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMEINTERVALS</constant></link>
in order to emulate the formats
<link linkend="V4L2-PIX-FMT-BGR24"><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_BGR24</constant></link>,
<link linkend="V4L2-PIX-FMT-RGB24"><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB24</constant></link>,
<link linkend="V4L2-PIX-FMT-YUV420"><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420</constant></link>,
and <link linkend="V4L2-PIX-FMT-YVU420"><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU420</constant></link>,
if they aren't available in the driver.
<link linkend='vidioc-enum-fmt'><constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT</constant></link>
keeps enumerating the hardware supported formats, plus the emulated formats
offered by libv4l at the end.
</para>
<section id="libv4l-ops">
<title>Libv4l device control functions</title>
<para>The common file operation methods are provided by
libv4l.</para>
<para>Those functions operate just like glibc
open/close/dup/ioctl/read/mmap/munmap:</para>
<itemizedlist><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_open(const char *file, int oflag,
...) -
operates like the standard <link linkend='func-open'>open()</link> function.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_close(int fd) -
operates like the standard <link linkend='func-close'>close()</link> function.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_dup(int fd) -
operates like the standard dup() function, duplicating a file handler.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_ioctl (int fd, unsigned long int request, ...) -
operates like the standard <link linkend='func-ioctl'>ioctl()</link> function.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_read (int fd, void* buffer, size_t n) -
operates like the standard <link linkend='func-read'>read()</link> function.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>void v4l2_mmap(void *start, size_t length, int prot, int flags, int fd, int64_t offset); -
operates like the standard <link linkend='func-mmap'>mmap()</link> function.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_munmap(void *_start, size_t length); -
operates like the standard <link linkend='func-munmap'>munmap()</link> function.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Those functions provide additional control:</para>
<itemizedlist><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_fd_open(int fd, int v4l2_flags) -
opens an already opened fd for further use through v4l2lib and possibly
modify libv4l2's default behavior through the v4l2_flags argument.
Currently, v4l2_flags can be <constant>V4L2_DISABLE_CONVERSION</constant>,
to disable format conversion.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_set_control(int fd, int cid, int value) -
This function takes a value of 0 - 65535, and then scales that range to
the actual range of the given v4l control id, and then if the cid exists
and is not locked sets the cid to the scaled value.
</para></listitem><listitem>
<para>int v4l2_get_control(int fd, int cid) -
This function returns a value of 0 - 65535, scaled to from the actual range
of the given v4l control id. when the cid does not exist, could not be
accessed for some reason, or some error occured 0 is returned.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</section>
</section>
<section>
<title>v4l1compat.so wrapper library</title>
<para>This library intercepts calls to
open/close/ioctl/mmap/mmunmap operations and redirects them to the libv4l
counterparts, by using LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/v4l1compat.so. It also
emulates V4L1 calls via V4L2 API.</para>
<para>It allows usage of binary legacy applications that
still don't use libv4l.</para>

<title>Description</title>
<para>These formats are designed to match the pixel formats of
typical PC graphics frame buffers. They occupy 8, 16, 24 or 32 bits
per pixel. These are all packed-pixel formats, meaning all the data
for a pixel lie next to each other in memory.</para>
<para>When one of these formats is used, drivers shall report the
colorspace <constant>V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB</constant>.</para>

<para>This format is similar to <link

a depth of 16 bits. The least significant byte is stored at lower

may be lower than 16 bits, for example 10 bits per pixel with values
in range 0 to 1023.</para>

<para>This is a grey-scale image with a depth of 16 bits per
pixel. The least significant byte is stored at lower memory addresses
(little-endian). Note the actual sampling precision may be lower than
16 bits, for example 10 bits per pixel with values in range 0 to

<refsect1>
<title>Description</title>
<para>In this format each 12 bytes is eight pixels. In the
twelve bytes are two CbCr pairs and eight Y's. The first CbCr pair
goes with the first four Y's, and the second CbCr pair goes with the
other four Y's. The Cb and Cr components have one fourth the
horizontal resolution of the Y component.</para>
<para>Do not confuse this format with <link
linkend="V4L2-PIX-FMT-YUV411P"><constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV411P</constant></link>.
Y41P is derived from "YUV 4:1:1 <emphasis>packed</emphasis>", while
YUV411P stands for "YUV 4:1:1 <emphasis>planar</emphasis>".</para>

<title>Description</title>
<para>These are planar formats, as opposed to a packed format.
The three components are separated into three sub-images or planes.
The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. For
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YVU410</constant>, the Cr plane immediately
follows the Y plane in memory. The Cr plane is &frac14; the width and
&frac14; the height of the Y plane (and of the image). Each Cr belongs
to 16 pixels, a four-by-four square of the image. Following the Cr
plane is the Cb plane, just like the Cr plane.
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV410</constant> is the same, except the Cb
plane comes first, then the Cr plane.</para>
<para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cr
and Cb planes have &frac14; as many pad bytes after their rows. In
other words, four Cx rows (including padding) are exactly as long as
one Y row (including padding).</para>

<para>This format is not commonly used. This is a planar

chroma. The three components are separated into three sub-images or
planes. The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one byte per pixel. The
Cb plane immediately follows the Y plane in memory. The Cb plane is
&frac14; the width of the Y plane (and of the image). Each Cb belongs
to 4 pixels all on the same row. For example,
Cb<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>01</subscript>, Y'<subscript>02</subscript> and
Y'<subscript>03</subscript>. Following the Cb plane is the Cr plane,
just like the Cb plane.</para>

<title>Description</title>
<para>This format is not commonly used. This is a planar
version of the YUYV format. The three components are separated into
three sub-images or planes. The Y plane is first. The Y plane has one
byte per pixel. The Cb plane immediately follows the Y plane in
memory. The Cb plane is half the width of the Y plane (and of the
image). Each Cb belongs to two pixels. For example,
Cb<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to Y'<subscript>00</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>01</subscript>. Following the Cb plane is the Cr plane,
just like the Cb plane.</para>
<para>If the Y plane has pad bytes after each row, then the Cr
and Cb planes have half as many pad bytes after their rows. In other
words, two Cx rows (including padding) is exactly as long as one Y row
(including padding).</para>

<section>
<title>Standard Image Formats</title>
<para>In order to exchange images between drivers and
applications, it is necessary to have standard image data formats
which both sides will interpret the same way. V4L2 includes several
such formats, and this section is intended to be an unambiguous
specification of the standard image data formats in V4L2.</para>
<para>V4L2 drivers are not limited to these formats, however.
Driver-specific formats are possible. In that case the application may
depend on a codec to convert images to one of the standard formats
when needed. But the data can still be stored and retrieved in the
proprietary format. For example, a device may support a proprietary
compressed format. Applications can still capture and save the data in
the compressed format, saving much disk space, and later use a codec
to convert the images to the X Windows screen format when the video is
to be displayed.</para>
<para>Even so, ultimately, some standard formats are needed, so
the V4L2 specification would not be complete without well-defined
standard formats.</para>
<para>The V4L2 standard formats are mainly uncompressed formats. The
pixels are always arranged in memory from left to right, and from top
to bottom. The first byte of data in the image buffer is always for
the leftmost pixel of the topmost row. Following that is the pixel
immediately to its right, and so on until the end of the top row of
pixels. Following the rightmost pixel of the row there may be zero or
more bytes of padding to guarantee that each row of pixel data has a
certain alignment. Following the pad bytes, if any, is data for the
leftmost pixel of the second row from the top, and so on. The last row
has just as many pad bytes after it as the other rows.</para>
<para>In V4L2 each format has an identifier which looks like
<constant>PIX_FMT_XXX</constant>, defined in the <link
linkend="videodev">videodev.h</link> header file. These identifiers
represent <link linkend="v4l2-fourcc">four character codes</link>
which are also listed below, however they are not the same as those
used in the Windows world.</para>

<title>YUV Formats</title>
<para>YUV is the format native to TV broadcast and composite video
signals. It separates the brightness information (Y) from the color
information (U and V or Cb and Cr). The color information consists of
red and blue <emphasis>color difference</emphasis> signals, this way
the green component can be reconstructed by subtracting from the
brightness component. See <xref linkend="colorspaces" /> for conversion
examples. YUV was chosen because early television would only transmit
brightness information. To add color in a way compatible with existing
receivers a new signal carrier was added to transmit the color
difference signals. Secondary in the YUV format the U and V components
usually have lower resolution than the Y component. This is an analog
video compression technique taking advantage of a property of the
human visual system, being more sensitive to brightness
information.</para>

<title>Remote Controllers</title>
<section id="Remote_controllers_Intro">
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Currently, most analog and digital devices have a Infrared input for remote controllers. Each
manufacturer has their own type of control. It is not rare for the same manufacturer to ship different
types of controls, depending on the device.</para>
<para>Unfortunately, for several years, there was no effort to create uniform IR keycodes for
different devices. This caused the same IR keyname to be mapped completely differently on
different IR devices. This resulted that the same IR keyname to be mapped completely different on
different IR's. Due to that, V4L2 API now specifies a standard for mapping Media keys on IR.</para>
<para>This standard should be used by both V4L/DVB drivers and userspace applications</para>
<para>The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input layer. This means that the IR key strokes will look like normal keyboard key strokes (if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled). Using the event devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for applications to access the remote via /dev/input/event devices.</para>
