Extended Controls
*****************


Introduction
============

The control mechanism as originally designed was meant to be used for
user settings (brightness, saturation, etc). However, it turned out to
be a very useful model for implementing more complicated driver APIs
where each driver implements only a subset of a larger API.

The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind designing and
implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG standard is quite
large and the currently supported hardware MPEG encoders each only
implement a subset of this standard. Further more, many parameters
relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG stream are specific to
the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard only defines the format
of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the video is actually encoded into
that format.

Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some features needed for
these new uses and so it was extended into the (not terribly originally
named) extended control API.

Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort to use the
Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes of Extended
Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls. The
Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are
described in the following text.


The Extended Control API
========================

Three new ioctls are available:
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`,
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` and
:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>`. These ioctls act
on arrays of controls (as opposed to the
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` and
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctls that act on a single
control). This is needed since it is often required to atomically change
several controls at once.

Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_ext_controls`. This structure
contains a pointer to the control array, a count of the number of
controls in that array and a control class. Control classes are used to
group similar controls into a single class. For example, control class
``V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER`` contains all user controls (i. e. all controls
that can also be set using the old :ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>`
ioctl). Control class ``V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG`` contains all controls
relating to MPEG encoding, etc.

All controls in the control array must belong to the specified control
class. An error is returned if this is not the case.

It is also possible to use an empty control array (``count`` == 0) to check
whether the specified control class is supported.

The control array is a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` array. The
struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` is very similar to
struct :c:type:`v4l2_control`, except for the fact that
it also allows for 64-bit values and pointers to be passed.

Since the struct :c:type:`v4l2_ext_control` supports
pointers it is now also possible to have controls with compound types
such as N-dimensional arrays and/or structures. You need to specify the
``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_COMPOUND`` when enumerating controls to actually
be able to see such compound controls. In other words, these controls
with compound types should only be used programmatically.

Since such compound controls need to expose more information about
themselves than is possible with
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` the
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>` ioctl was added. In
particular, this ioctl gives the dimensions of the N-dimensional array
if this control consists of more than one element.

.. note::

   #. It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of controls it is
      necessary to check whether the control you want to set actually is
      supported in the driver and what the valid range of values is. So use
      the :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` (or :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_EXT_CTRL
      <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>`) and :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYMENU <VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL>`
      ioctls to check this.

   #. It is possible that some of the menu indices in a control of
      type ``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU`` may not be supported (``VIDIOC_QUERYMENU``
      will return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG
      audio bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others
      support a wider range.

All controls use machine endianness.


Enumerating Extended Controls
=============================

The recommended way to enumerate over the extended controls is by using
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` in combination with the
``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL`` flag:


.. code-block:: c

    struct v4l2_queryctrl qctrl;

    qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
    while (0 == ioctl (fd, VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, &qctrl)) {
	/* ... */
	qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
    }

The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the
``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL`` flag. The ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` ioctl will
return the first control with a higher ID than the specified one. When
no such controls are found an error is returned.

If you want to get all controls within a specific control class, then
you can set the initial ``qctrl.id`` value to the control class and add
an extra check to break out of the loop when a control of another
control class is found:


.. code-block:: c

    qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG | V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
    while (0 == ioctl(fd, VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL, &qctrl)) {
	if (V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(qctrl.id) != V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG)
	    break;
	    /* ... */
	qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
    }

The 32-bit ``qctrl.id`` value is subdivided into three bit ranges: the
top 4 bits are reserved for flags (e. g. ``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL``)
and are not actually part of the ID. The remaining 28 bits form the
control ID, of which the most significant 12 bits define the control
class and the least significant 16 bits identify the control within the
control class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always
non-zero for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for
driver-specific controls. The macro ``V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)`` returns
the control class ID based on a control ID.

If the driver does not support extended controls, then
``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` will fail when used in combination with
``V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL``. In that case the old method of enumerating
control should be used (see :ref:`enum_all_controls`). But if it is
supported, then it is guaranteed to enumerate over all controls,
including driver-private controls.


Creating Control Panels
=======================

It is possible to create control panels for a graphical user interface
where the user can select the various controls. Basically you will have
to iterate over all controls using the method described above. Each
control class starts with a control of type
``V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS``. ``VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL`` will return the name
of this control class which can be used as the title of a tab page
within a control panel.

The flags field of struct :ref:`v4l2_queryctrl <v4l2-queryctrl>` also
contains hints on the behavior of the control. See the
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` documentation for more
details.


.. _mpeg-controls:

Codec Control Reference
=======================

Below all controls within the Codec control class are described. First
the generic controls, then controls specific for certain hardware.

.. note::

   These controls are applicable to all codecs and not just MPEG. The
   defines are prefixed with V4L2_CID_MPEG/V4L2_MPEG as the controls
   were originally made for MPEG codecs and later extended to cover all
   encoding formats.


Generic Codec Controls
----------------------


.. _mpeg-control-id:

Codec Control IDs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_CLASS (class)``
    The Codec class descriptor. Calling
    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
    return a description of this control class. This description can be
    used as the caption of a Tab page in a GUI, for example.

    Enable rate-control with fixed target bit. If this setting is
    enabled, then the rate control logic of the encoder will calculate
    the average bitrate for a GOP and keep it below or equal the set
    bitrate target. Otherwise the rate control logic calculates the
    overall average bitrate for the stream and keeps it below or equal
    to the set bitrate. In the first case the average bitrate for the
    whole stream will be smaller then the set bitrate. This is caused
    because the average is calculated for smaller number of frames, on
    the other hand enabling this setting will ensure that the stream
    will meet tight bandwidth constraints. Applicable to encoders.

    is limited by the frame interval. Drivers should interpret the
    values as 100 µs units, where the value 1 stands for 1/10000th of a
    second, 10000 for 1 second and 100000 for 10 seconds.

``V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO_PRIORITY (boolean)``
    When ``V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO`` is set to ``AUTO`` or
    ``APERTURE_PRIORITY``, this control determines if the device may
    dynamically vary the frame rate. By default this feature is disabled
    (0) and the frame rate must remain constant.

``V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_BIAS (integer menu)``
    Determines the automatic exposure compensation, it is effective only
    when ``V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO`` control is set to ``AUTO``,
    ``SHUTTER_PRIORITY`` or ``APERTURE_PRIORITY``. It is expressed in
    terms of EV, drivers should interpret the values as 0.001 EV units,
    where the value 1000 stands for +1 EV.

    Increasing the exposure compensation value is equivalent to
    decreasing the exposure value (EV) and will increase the amount of
    light at the image sensor. The camera performs the exposure
    compensation by adjusting absolute exposure time and/or aperture.

	possible distance for auto focus.
    * - ``V4L2_AUTO_FOCUS_RANGE_INFINITY``
      - The lens is set to focus on an object at infinite distance.



``V4L2_CID_ZOOM_ABSOLUTE (integer)``
    Specify the objective lens focal length as an absolute value. The
    zoom unit is driver-specific and its value should be a positive
    integer.

``V4L2_CID_ZOOM_RELATIVE (integer)``
    Specify the objective lens focal length relatively to the current
    value. Positive values move the zoom lens group towards the
    telephoto direction, negative values towards the wide-angle

    Prevent video from being acquired by the camera. When this control
    is set to ``TRUE`` (1), no image can be captured by the camera.
    Common means to enforce privacy are mechanical obturation of the
    sensor and firmware image processing, but the device is not
    restricted to these methods. Devices that implement the privacy
    control must support read access and may support write access.

``V4L2_CID_BAND_STOP_FILTER (integer)``
    Switch the band-stop filter of a camera sensor on or off, or specify
    its strength. Such band-stop filters can be used, for example, to
    filter out the fluorescent light component.

	corresponds approximately to 9000...10000 K color temperature.



.. _v4l2-wide-dynamic-range:

``V4L2_CID_WIDE_DYNAMIC_RANGE (boolean)``
    Enables or disables the camera's wide dynamic range feature. This
    feature allows to obtain clear images in situations where intensity
    of the illumination varies significantly throughout the scene, i.e.
    there are simultaneously very dark and very bright areas. It is most
    commonly realized in cameras by combining two subsequent frames with
    different exposure times.  [#f1]_

.. _v4l2-image-stabilization:

``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_STABILIZATION (boolean)``
    Enables or disables image stabilization.

``V4L2_CID_ISO_SENSITIVITY (integer menu)``
    Determines ISO equivalent of an image sensor indicating the sensor's
    sensitivity to light. The numbers are expressed in arithmetic scale,
    as per :ref:`iso12232` standard, where doubling the sensor
    sensitivity is represented by doubling the numerical ISO value.
    Applications should interpret the values as standard ISO values
    multiplied by 1000, e.g. control value 800 stands for ISO 0.8.
    Drivers will usually support only a subset of standard ISO values.
    The effect of setting this control while the
    ``V4L2_CID_ISO_SENSITIVITY_AUTO`` control is set to a value other
    than ``V4L2_CID_ISO_SENSITIVITY_MANUAL`` is undefined, drivers
    should ignore such requests.

      - Automatic ISO sensitivity adjustments.



.. _v4l2-scene-mode:

``V4L2_CID_SCENE_MODE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_scene_mode -
    This control allows to select scene programs as the camera automatic
    modes optimized for common shooting scenes. Within these modes the
    camera determines best exposure, aperture, focusing, light metering,
    white balance and equivalent sensitivity. The controls of those
    parameters are influenced by the scene mode control. An exact
    behavior in each mode is subject to the camera specification.

    When the scene mode feature is not used, this control should be set
    to ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_NONE`` to make sure the other possibly related
    controls are accessible. The following scene programs are defined:

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{6.0cm}|p{11.5cm}|

.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_NONE``
      - The scene mode feature is disabled.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_BACKLIGHT``
      - Backlight. Compensates for dark shadows when light is coming from
	behind a subject, also by automatically turning on the flash.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_BEACH_SNOW``
      - Beach and snow. This mode compensates for all-white or bright
	scenes, which tend to look gray and low contrast, when camera's
	automatic exposure is based on an average scene brightness. To
	compensate, this mode automatically slightly overexposes the
	frames. The white balance may also be adjusted to compensate for
	the fact that reflected snow looks bluish rather than white.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_CANDLELIGHT``
      - Candle light. The camera generally raises the ISO sensitivity and
	lowers the shutter speed. This mode compensates for relatively
	close subject in the scene. The flash is disabled in order to
	preserve the ambiance of the light.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_DAWN_DUSK``
      - Dawn and dusk. Preserves the colors seen in low natural light
	before dusk and after down. The camera may turn off the flash, and
	automatically focus at infinity. It will usually boost saturation
	and lower the shutter speed.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_FALL_COLORS``
      - Fall colors. Increases saturation and adjusts white balance for
	color enhancement. Pictures of autumn leaves get saturated reds
	and yellows.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_FIREWORKS``
      - Fireworks. Long exposure times are used to capture the expanding
	burst of light from a firework. The camera may invoke image
	stabilization.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_LANDSCAPE``
      - Landscape. The camera may choose a small aperture to provide deep
	depth of field and long exposure duration to help capture detail
	in dim light conditions. The focus is fixed at infinity. Suitable
	for distant and wide scenery.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_NIGHT``
      - Night, also known as Night Landscape. Designed for low light
	conditions, it preserves detail in the dark areas without blowing
	out bright objects. The camera generally sets itself to a
	medium-to-high ISO sensitivity, with a relatively long exposure
	time, and turns flash off. As such, there will be increased image
	noise and the possibility of blurred image.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_PARTY_INDOOR``
      - Party and indoor. Designed to capture indoor scenes that are lit
	by indoor background lighting as well as the flash. The camera
	usually increases ISO sensitivity, and adjusts exposure for the
	low light conditions.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_PORTRAIT``
      - Portrait. The camera adjusts the aperture so that the depth of
	field is reduced, which helps to isolate the subject against a
	smooth background. Most cameras recognize the presence of faces in
	the scene and focus on them. The color hue is adjusted to enhance
	skin tones. The intensity of the flash is often reduced.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_SPORTS``
      - Sports. Significantly increases ISO and uses a fast shutter speed
	to freeze motion of rapidly-moving subjects. Increased image noise
	may be seen in this mode.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_SUNSET``
      - Sunset. Preserves deep hues seen in sunsets and sunrises. It bumps
	up the saturation.
    * - ``V4L2_SCENE_MODE_TEXT``
      - Text. It applies extra contrast and sharpness, it is typically a
	black-and-white mode optimized for readability. Automatic focus
	may be switched to close-up mode and this setting may also involve
	some lens-distortion correction.



``V4L2_CID_3A_LOCK (bitmask)``
    This control locks or unlocks the automatic focus, exposure and
    white balance. The automatic adjustments can be paused independently
    by setting the corresponding lock bit to 1. The camera then retains
    the settings until the lock bit is cleared. The following lock bits
    are defined:

    When a given algorithm is not enabled, drivers should ignore
    requests to lock it and should return no error. An example might be
    an application setting bit ``V4L2_LOCK_WHITE_BALANCE`` when the
    ``V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE`` control is set to ``FALSE``. The
    value of this control may be changed by exposure, white balance or
    focus controls.



.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_LOCK_EXPOSURE``
      - Automatic exposure adjustments lock.
    * - ``V4L2_LOCK_WHITE_BALANCE``
      - Automatic white balance adjustments lock.
    * - ``V4L2_LOCK_FOCUS``
      - Automatic focus lock.



``V4L2_CID_PAN_SPEED (integer)``
    This control turns the camera horizontally at the specific speed.
    The unit is undefined. A positive value moves the camera to the
    right (clockwise when viewed from above), a negative value to the
    left. A value of zero stops the motion if one is in progress and has
    no effect otherwise.

``V4L2_CID_TILT_SPEED (integer)``
    This control turns the camera vertically at the specified speed. The
    unit is undefined. A positive value moves the camera up, a negative
    value down. A value of zero stops the motion if one is in progress
    and has no effect otherwise.


.. _fm-tx-controls:

FM Transmitter Control Reference
================================

The FM Transmitter (FM_TX) class includes controls for common features
of FM transmissions capable devices. Currently this class includes
parameters for audio compression, pilot tone generation, audio deviation
limiter, RDS transmission and tuning power features.


.. _fm-tx-control-id:

FM_TX Control IDs
-----------------

``V4L2_CID_FM_TX_CLASS (class)``
    The FM_TX class descriptor. Calling
    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
    return a description of this control class.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_DEVIATION (integer)``
    Configures RDS signal frequency deviation level in Hz. The range and
    step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_PI (integer)``
    Sets the RDS Programme Identification field for transmission.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_PTY (integer)``
    Sets the RDS Programme Type field for transmission. This encodes up
    to 31 pre-defined programme types.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_PS_NAME (string)``
    Sets the Programme Service name (PS_NAME) for transmission. It is
    intended for static display on a receiver. It is the primary aid to
    listeners in programme service identification and selection. In
    Annex E of :ref:`iec62106`, the RDS specification, there is a full
    description of the correct character encoding for Programme Service
    name strings. Also from RDS specification, PS is usually a single
    eight character text. However, it is also possible to find receivers
    which can scroll strings sized as 8 x N characters. So, this control
    must be configured with steps of 8 characters. The result is it must
    always contain a string with size multiple of 8.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_RADIO_TEXT (string)``
    Sets the Radio Text info for transmission. It is a textual
    description of what is being broadcasted. RDS Radio Text can be
    applied when broadcaster wishes to transmit longer PS names,
    programme-related information or any other text. In these cases,
    RadioText should be used in addition to ``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_PS_NAME``.
    The encoding for Radio Text strings is also fully described in Annex
    E of :ref:`iec62106`. The length of Radio Text strings depends on
    which RDS Block is being used to transmit it, either 32 (2A block)
    or 64 (2B block). However, it is also possible to find receivers
    which can scroll strings sized as 32 x N or 64 x N characters. So,
    this control must be configured with steps of 32 or 64 characters.
    The result is it must always contain a string with size multiple of
    32 or 64.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_MONO_STEREO (boolean)``
    Sets the Mono/Stereo bit of the Decoder Identification code. If set,
    then the audio was recorded as stereo.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_ARTIFICIAL_HEAD (boolean)``

    `Artificial Head <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_head>`__
    bit of the Decoder Identification code. If set, then the audio was
    recorded using an artificial head.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_COMPRESSED (boolean)``
    Sets the Compressed bit of the Decoder Identification code. If set,
    then the audio is compressed.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_DYNAMIC_PTY (boolean)``
    Sets the Dynamic PTY bit of the Decoder Identification code. If set,
    then the PTY code is dynamically switched.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_TRAFFIC_ANNOUNCEMENT (boolean)``
    If set, then a traffic announcement is in progress.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_TRAFFIC_PROGRAM (boolean)``
    If set, then the tuned programme carries traffic announcements.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_MUSIC_SPEECH (boolean)``
    If set, then this channel broadcasts music. If cleared, then it
    broadcasts speech. If the transmitter doesn't make this distinction,
    then it should be set.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_ALT_FREQS_ENABLE (boolean)``
    If set, then transmit alternate frequencies.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_TX_ALT_FREQS (__u32 array)``
    The alternate frequencies in kHz units. The RDS standard allows for
    up to 25 frequencies to be defined. Drivers may support fewer
    frequencies so check the array size.

``V4L2_CID_AUDIO_LIMITER_ENABLED (boolean)``
    Enables or disables the audio deviation limiter feature. The limiter
    is useful when trying to maximize the audio volume, minimize
    receiver-generated distortion and prevent overmodulation.

``V4L2_CID_AUDIO_LIMITER_RELEASE_TIME (integer)``
    Sets the audio deviation limiter feature release time. Unit is in
    useconds. Step and range are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_AUDIO_LIMITER_DEVIATION (integer)``
    Configures audio frequency deviation level in Hz. The range and step
    are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_AUDIO_COMPRESSION_ENABLED (boolean)``
    Enables or disables the audio compression feature. This feature
    amplifies signals below the threshold by a fixed gain and compresses
    audio signals above the threshold by the ratio of Threshold/(Gain +
    Threshold).

``V4L2_CID_AUDIO_COMPRESSION_GAIN (integer)``
    Sets the gain for audio compression feature. It is a dB value. The
    range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_AUDIO_COMPRESSION_THRESHOLD (integer)``

    useconds value. The range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_PILOT_TONE_ENABLED (boolean)``
    Enables or disables the pilot tone generation feature.

``V4L2_CID_PILOT_TONE_DEVIATION (integer)``
    Configures pilot tone frequency deviation level. Unit is in Hz. The
    range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_PILOT_TONE_FREQUENCY (integer)``
    Configures pilot tone frequency value. Unit is in Hz. The range and
    step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_TUNE_PREEMPHASIS``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_preemphasis -
    Configures the pre-emphasis value for broadcasting. A pre-emphasis
    filter is applied to the broadcast to accentuate the high audio
    frequencies. Depending on the region, a time constant of either 50
    or 75 useconds is used. The enum v4l2_preemphasis defines possible
    values for pre-emphasis. Here they are:

      - A pre-emphasis of 50 uS is used.
    * - ``V4L2_PREEMPHASIS_75_uS``
      - A pre-emphasis of 75 uS is used.



``V4L2_CID_TUNE_POWER_LEVEL (integer)``
    Sets the output power level for signal transmission. Unit is in
    dBuV. Range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_TUNE_ANTENNA_CAPACITOR (integer)``
    This selects the value of antenna tuning capacitor manually or
    automatically if set to zero. Unit, range and step are
    driver-specific.

document, from CENELEC.


.. _flash-controls:

Flash Control Reference
=======================

The V4L2 flash controls are intended to provide generic access to flash
controller devices. Flash controller devices are typically used in
digital cameras.

The interface can support both LED and xenon flash devices. As of
writing this, there is no xenon flash driver using this interface.


.. _flash-controls-use-cases:

Supported use cases
-------------------


Unsynchronised LED flash (software strobe)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unsynchronised LED flash is controlled directly by the host as the
sensor. The flash must be enabled by the host before the exposure of the
image starts and disabled once it ends. The host is fully responsible
for the timing of the flash.

Example of such device: Nokia N900.


Synchronised LED flash (hardware strobe)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The synchronised LED flash is pre-programmed by the host (power and
timeout) but controlled by the sensor through a strobe signal from the
sensor to the flash.

The sensor controls the flash duration and timing. This information
typically must be made available to the sensor.


LED flash as torch
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

LED flash may be used as torch in conjunction with another use case
involving camera or individually.

    independent of the flash LED. The unit should be microamps (uA) if
    possible.

``V4L2_CID_FLASH_FAULT (bitmask)``
    Faults related to the flash. The faults tell about specific problems
    in the flash chip itself or the LEDs attached to it. Faults may
    prevent further use of some of the flash controls. In particular,
    V4L2_CID_FLASH_LED_MODE is set to V4L2_FLASH_LED_MODE_NONE
    if the fault affects the flash LED. Exactly which faults have such
    an effect is chip dependent. Reading the faults resets the control
    and returns the chip to a usable state if possible.

.. _jpeg-controls:

JPEG Control Reference
======================

The JPEG class includes controls for common features of JPEG encoders
and decoders. Currently it includes features for codecs implementing
progressive baseline DCT compression process with Huffman entrophy
coding.


.. _jpeg-control-id:

JPEG Control IDs
----------------

``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CLASS (class)``
    The JPEG class descriptor. Calling
    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
    return a description of this control class.

``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING (menu)``
    The chroma subsampling factors describe how each component of an
    input image is sampled, in respect to maximum sample rate in each
    spatial dimension. See :ref:`itu-t81`, clause A.1.1. for more
    details. The ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING`` control determines
    how Cb and Cr components are downsampled after coverting an input
    image from RGB to Y'CbCr color space.

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{7.0cm}|p{10.5cm}|

.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_444``
      - No chroma subsampling, each pixel has Y, Cr and Cb values.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_422``
      - Horizontally subsample Cr, Cb components by a factor of 2.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_420``
      - Subsample Cr, Cb components horizontally and vertically by 2.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_411``
      - Horizontally subsample Cr, Cb components by a factor of 4.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_410``
      - Subsample Cr, Cb components horizontally by 4 and vertically by 2.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_GRAY``
      - Use only luminance component.



``V4L2_CID_JPEG_RESTART_INTERVAL (integer)``
    The restart interval determines an interval of inserting RSTm
    markers (m = 0..7). The purpose of these markers is to additionally
    reinitialize the encoder process, in order to process blocks of an
    image independently. For the lossy compression processes the restart
    interval unit is MCU (Minimum Coded Unit) and its value is contained
    in DRI (Define Restart Interval) marker. If
    ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_RESTART_INTERVAL`` control is set to 0, DRI and RSTm
    markers will not be inserted.

.. _jpeg-quality-control:

``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY (integer)``
    ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY`` control determines trade-off
    between image quality and size. It provides simpler method for
    applications to control image quality, without a need for direct
    reconfiguration of luminance and chrominance quantization tables. In
    cases where a driver uses quantization tables configured directly by
    an application, using interfaces defined elsewhere,
    ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY`` control should be set by
    driver to 0.

    The value range of this control is driver-specific. Only positive,
    non-zero values are meaningful. The recommended range is 1 - 100,
    where larger values correspond to better image quality.

.. _jpeg-active-marker-control:

``V4L2_CID_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER (bitmask)``
    Specify which JPEG markers are included in compressed stream. This
    control is valid only for encoders.



.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER_APP0``
      - Application data segment APP\ :sub:`0`.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER_APP1``
      - Application data segment APP\ :sub:`1`.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER_COM``
      - Comment segment.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER_DQT``
      - Quantization tables segment.
    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER_DHT``
      - Huffman tables segment.

:ref:`jfif`, :ref:`w3c-jpeg-jfif`.


.. _image-source-controls:

Image Source Control Reference
==============================

The Image Source control class is intended for low-level control of
image source devices such as image sensors. The devices feature an
analogue to digital converter and a bus transmitter to transmit the
image data out of the device.


.. _image-source-control-id:

Image Source Control IDs
------------------------

``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_SOURCE_CLASS (class)``
    The IMAGE_SOURCE class descriptor.

``V4L2_CID_VBLANK (integer)``
    Vertical blanking. The idle period after every frame during which no
    image data is produced. The unit of vertical blanking is a line.
    Every line has length of the image width plus horizontal blanking at
    the pixel rate defined by ``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE`` control in the
    same sub-device.

``V4L2_CID_HBLANK (integer)``
    Horizontal blanking. The idle period after every line of image data
    during which no image data is produced. The unit of horizontal
    blanking is pixels.

``V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN (integer)``
    Analogue gain is gain affecting all colour components in the pixel
    matrix. The gain operation is performed in the analogue domain
    before A/D conversion.

``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_RED (integer)``
    Test pattern red colour component.

``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_GREENR (integer)``
    Test pattern green (next to red) colour component.

``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_BLUE (integer)``
    Test pattern blue colour component.

``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_GREENB (integer)``
    Test pattern green (next to blue) colour component.


.. _image-process-controls:

Image Process Control Reference
===============================

The Image Process control class is intended for low-level control of
image processing functions. Unlike ``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_SOURCE_CLASS``, the
controls in this class affect processing the image, and do not control
capturing of it.


.. _image-process-control-id:

Image Process Control IDs
-------------------------

``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_PROC_CLASS (class)``
    The IMAGE_PROC class descriptor.

``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ (integer menu)``
    Data bus frequency. Together with the media bus pixel code, bus type
    (clock cycles per sample), the data bus frequency defines the pixel
    rate (``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE``) in the pixel array (or possibly
    elsewhere, if the device is not an image sensor). The frame rate can
    be calculated from the pixel clock, image width and height and
    horizontal and vertical blanking. While the pixel rate control may
    be defined elsewhere than in the subdev containing the pixel array,
    the frame rate cannot be obtained from that information. This is
    because only on the pixel array it can be assumed that the vertical
    and horizontal blanking information is exact: no other blanking is
    allowed in the pixel array. The selection of frame rate is performed
    by selecting the desired horizontal and vertical blanking. The unit
    of this control is Hz.

``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE (64-bit integer)``
    Pixel rate in the source pads of the subdev. This control is
    read-only and its unit is pixels / second.

``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN (menu)``
    Some capture/display/sensor devices have the capability to generate
    test pattern images. These hardware specific test patterns can be
    used to test if a device is working properly.


.. _dv-controls:

Digital Video Control Reference
===============================

The Digital Video control class is intended to control receivers and
transmitters for `VGA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vga>`__,
`DVI <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface>`__
(Digital Visual Interface), HDMI (:ref:`hdmi`) and DisplayPort
(:ref:`dp`). These controls are generally expected to be private to
the receiver or transmitter subdevice that implements them, so they are
only exposed on the ``/dev/v4l-subdev*`` device node.

.. note::

   Note that these devices can have multiple input or output pads which are
   hooked up to e.g. HDMI connectors. Even though the subdevice will
   receive or transmit video from/to only one of those pads, the other pads
   can still be active when it comes to EDID (Extended Display
   Identification Data, :ref:`vesaedid`) and HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
   Content Protection System, :ref:`hdcp`) processing, allowing the
   device to do the fairly slow EDID/HDCP handling in advance. This allows
   for quick switching between connectors.

These pads appear in several of the controls in this section as
bitmasks, one bit for each pad. Bit 0 corresponds to pad 0, bit 1 to pad
1, etc. The maximum value of the control is the set of valid pads.


.. _dv-control-id:

Digital Video Control IDs
-------------------------

``V4L2_CID_DV_CLASS (class)``
    The Digital Video class descriptor.

``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_HOTPLUG (bitmask)``
    Many connectors have a hotplug pin which is high if EDID information
    is available from the source. This control shows the state of the
    hotplug pin as seen by the transmitter. Each bit corresponds to an
    output pad on the transmitter. If an output pad does not have an
    associated hotplug pin, then the bit for that pad will be 0. This
    read-only control is applicable to DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort
    connectors.

``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_RXSENSE (bitmask)``
    Rx Sense is the detection of pull-ups on the TMDS clock lines. This
    normally means that the sink has left/entered standby (i.e. the
    transmitter can sense that the receiver is ready to receive video).
    Each bit corresponds to an output pad on the transmitter. If an
    output pad does not have an associated Rx Sense, then the bit for
    that pad will be 0. This read-only control is applicable to DVI-D
    and HDMI devices.

``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_EDID_PRESENT (bitmask)``
    When the transmitter sees the hotplug signal from the receiver it
    will attempt to read the EDID. If set, then the transmitter has read
    at least the first block (= 128 bytes). Each bit corresponds to an
    output pad on the transmitter. If an output pad does not support
    EDIDs, then the bit for that pad will be 0. This read-only control
    is applicable to VGA, DVI-A/D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.

``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_MODE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_dv_tx_mode -
    HDMI transmitters can transmit in DVI-D mode (just video) or in HDMI
    mode (video + audio + auxiliary data). This control selects which
    mode to use: V4L2_DV_TX_MODE_DVI_D or V4L2_DV_TX_MODE_HDMI.
    This control is applicable to HDMI connectors.

``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_RGB_RANGE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_dv_rgb_range -
    Select the quantization range for RGB output. V4L2_DV_RANGE_AUTO
    follows the RGB quantization range specified in the standard for the
    video interface (ie. :ref:`cea861` for HDMI).
    V4L2_DV_RANGE_LIMITED and V4L2_DV_RANGE_FULL override the
    standard to be compatible with sinks that have not implemented the
    standard correctly (unfortunately quite common for HDMI and DVI-D).
    Full range allows all possible values to be used whereas limited
    range sets the range to (16 << (N-8)) - (235 << (N-8)) where N is
    the number of bits per component. This control is applicable to VGA,
    DVI-A/D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.

``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_dv_it_content_type -
    Configures the IT Content Type of the transmitted video. This
    information is sent over HDMI and DisplayPort connectors as part of
    the AVI InfoFrame. The term 'IT Content' is used for content that
    originates from a computer as opposed to content from a TV broadcast
    or an analog source. The enum v4l2_dv_it_content_type defines
    the possible content types:

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{7.0cm}|p{10.5cm}|

.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_GRAPHICS``
      - Graphics content. Pixel data should be passed unfiltered and
	without analog reconstruction.
    * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_PHOTO``
      - Photo content. The content is derived from digital still pictures.
	The content should be passed through with minimal scaling and
	picture enhancements.
    * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_CINEMA``
      - Cinema content.
    * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_GAME``
      - Game content. Audio and video latency should be minimized.
    * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_NO_ITC``
      - No IT Content information is available and the ITC bit in the AVI
	InfoFrame is set to 0.



``V4L2_CID_DV_RX_POWER_PRESENT (bitmask)``
    Detects whether the receiver receives power from the source (e.g.
    HDMI carries 5V on one of the pins). This is often used to power an
    eeprom which contains EDID information, such that the source can
    read the EDID even if the sink is in standby/power off. Each bit
    corresponds to an input pad on the transmitter. If an input pad
    cannot detect whether power is present, then the bit for that pad
    will be 0. This read-only control is applicable to DVI-D, HDMI and
    DisplayPort connectors.

``V4L2_CID_DV_RX_RGB_RANGE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_dv_rgb_range -
    Select the quantization range for RGB input. V4L2_DV_RANGE_AUTO
    follows the RGB quantization range specified in the standard for the
    video interface (ie. :ref:`cea861` for HDMI).
    V4L2_DV_RANGE_LIMITED and V4L2_DV_RANGE_FULL override the
    standard to be compatible with sources that have not implemented the
    standard correctly (unfortunately quite common for HDMI and DVI-D).
    Full range allows all possible values to be used whereas limited
    range sets the range to (16 << (N-8)) - (235 << (N-8)) where N is
    the number of bits per component. This control is applicable to VGA,
    DVI-A/D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.

``V4L2_CID_DV_RX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_dv_it_content_type -
    Reads the IT Content Type of the received video. This information is
    sent over HDMI and DisplayPort connectors as part of the AVI
    InfoFrame. The term 'IT Content' is used for content that originates
    from a computer as opposed to content from a TV broadcast or an
    analog source. See ``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE`` for the
    available content types.


.. _fm-rx-controls:

FM Receiver Control Reference
=============================

The FM Receiver (FM_RX) class includes controls for common features of
FM Reception capable devices.


.. _fm-rx-control-id:

FM_RX Control IDs
-----------------

``V4L2_CID_FM_RX_CLASS (class)``
    The FM_RX class descriptor. Calling
    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
    return a description of this control class.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RECEPTION (boolean)``
    Enables/disables RDS reception by the radio tuner

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_PTY (integer)``
    Gets RDS Programme Type field. This encodes up to 31 pre-defined
    programme types.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_PS_NAME (string)``
    Gets the Programme Service name (PS_NAME). It is intended for
    static display on a receiver. It is the primary aid to listeners in
    programme service identification and selection. In Annex E of
    :ref:`iec62106`, the RDS specification, there is a full
    description of the correct character encoding for Programme Service
    name strings. Also from RDS specification, PS is usually a single
    eight character text. However, it is also possible to find receivers
    which can scroll strings sized as 8 x N characters. So, this control
    must be configured with steps of 8 characters. The result is it must
    always contain a string with size multiple of 8.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_RADIO_TEXT (string)``
    Gets the Radio Text info. It is a textual description of what is
    being broadcasted. RDS Radio Text can be applied when broadcaster
    wishes to transmit longer PS names, programme-related information or
    any other text. In these cases, RadioText can be used in addition to
    ``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_PS_NAME``. The encoding for Radio Text strings is
    also fully described in Annex E of :ref:`iec62106`. The length of
    Radio Text strings depends on which RDS Block is being used to
    transmit it, either 32 (2A block) or 64 (2B block). However, it is
    also possible to find receivers which can scroll strings sized as 32
    x N or 64 x N characters. So, this control must be configured with
    steps of 32 or 64 characters. The result is it must always contain a
    string with size multiple of 32 or 64.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_TRAFFIC_ANNOUNCEMENT (boolean)``
    If set, then a traffic announcement is in progress.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_TRAFFIC_PROGRAM (boolean)``
    If set, then the tuned programme carries traffic announcements.

``V4L2_CID_RDS_RX_MUSIC_SPEECH (boolean)``
    If set, then this channel broadcasts music. If cleared, then it
    broadcasts speech. If the transmitter doesn't make this distinction,
    then it will be set.

``V4L2_CID_TUNE_DEEMPHASIS``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_deemphasis -
    Configures the de-emphasis value for reception. A de-emphasis filter
    is applied to the broadcast to accentuate the high audio
    frequencies. Depending on the region, a time constant of either 50
    or 75 useconds is used. The enum v4l2_deemphasis defines possible
    values for de-emphasis. Here they are:



.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_DEEMPHASIS_DISABLED``
      - No de-emphasis is applied.
    * - ``V4L2_DEEMPHASIS_50_uS``
      - A de-emphasis of 50 uS is used.
    * - ``V4L2_DEEMPHASIS_75_uS``
      - A de-emphasis of 75 uS is used.

RF Tuner Control Reference
==========================

The RF Tuner (RF_TUNER) class includes controls for common features of
devices having RF tuner.

In this context, RF tuner is radio receiver circuit between antenna and
demodulator. It receives radio frequency (RF) from the antenna and
converts that received signal to lower intermediate frequency (IF) or
baseband frequency (BB). Tuners that could do baseband output are often
called Zero-IF tuners. Older tuners were typically simple PLL tuners
inside a metal box, whilst newer ones are highly integrated chips
without a metal box "silicon tuners". These controls are mostly
applicable for new feature rich silicon tuners, just because older
tuners does not have much adjustable features.

For more information about RF tuners see
`Tuner (radio) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuner_%28radio%29>`__
and `RF front end <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_front_end>`__

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_CLASS (class)``
    The RF_TUNER class descriptor. Calling
    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
    return a description of this control class.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_BANDWIDTH_AUTO (boolean)``
    Enables/disables tuner radio channel bandwidth configuration. In
    automatic mode bandwidth configuration is performed by the driver.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_BANDWIDTH (integer)``
    Filter(s) on tuner signal path are used to filter signal according
    to receiving party needs. Driver configures filters to fulfill
    desired bandwidth requirement. Used when
    V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_BANDWIDTH_AUTO is not set. Unit is in Hz. The
    range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_LNA_GAIN_AUTO (boolean)``
    Enables/disables LNA automatic gain control (AGC)

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_MIXER_GAIN_AUTO (boolean)``
    Enables/disables mixer automatic gain control (AGC)

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_IF_GAIN_AUTO (boolean)``
    Enables/disables IF automatic gain control (AGC)

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_RF_GAIN (integer)``
    The RF amplifier is the very first amplifier on the receiver signal
    path, just right after the antenna input. The difference between the
    LNA gain and the RF gain in this document is that the LNA gain is
    integrated in the tuner chip while the RF gain is a separate chip.
    There may be both RF and LNA gain controls in the same device. The
    range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_LNA_GAIN (integer)``
    LNA (low noise amplifier) gain is first gain stage on the RF tuner
    signal path. It is located very close to tuner antenna input. Used
    when ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_LNA_GAIN_AUTO`` is not set. See
    ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_RF_GAIN`` to understand how RF gain and LNA gain
    differs from the each others. The range and step are
    driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_MIXER_GAIN (integer)``
    Mixer gain is second gain stage on the RF tuner signal path. It is
    located inside mixer block, where RF signal is down-converted by the
    mixer. Used when ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_MIXER_GAIN_AUTO`` is not set.
    The range and step are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_IF_GAIN (integer)``
    IF gain is last gain stage on the RF tuner signal path. It is
    located on output of RF tuner. It controls signal level of
    intermediate frequency output or baseband output. Used when
    ``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_IF_GAIN_AUTO`` is not set. The range and step
    are driver-specific.

``V4L2_CID_RF_TUNER_PLL_LOCK (boolean)``
    Is synthesizer PLL locked? RF tuner is receiving given frequency
    when that control is set. This is a read-only control.
