2 <title>User Controls</title>
4 <para>Devices typically have a number of user-settable controls
5 such as brightness, saturation and so on, which would be presented to
6 the user on a graphical user interface. But, different devices
7 will have different controls available, and furthermore, the range of
8 possible values, and the default value will vary from device to
9 device. The control ioctls provide the information and a mechanism to
10 create a nice user interface for these controls that will work
11 correctly with any device.</para>
13 <para>All controls are accessed using an ID value. V4L2 defines
14 several IDs for specific purposes. Drivers can also implement their
15 own custom controls using <constant>V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE</constant>
16 and higher values. The pre-defined control IDs have the prefix
17 <constant>V4L2_CID_</constant>, and are listed in <xref
18 linkend="control-id" />. The ID is used when querying the attributes of
19 a control, and when getting or setting the current value.</para>
21 <para>Generally applications should present controls to the user
22 without assumptions about their purpose. Each control comes with a
23 name string the user is supposed to understand. When the purpose is
24 non-intuitive the driver writer should provide a user manual, a user
25 interface plug-in or a driver specific panel application. Predefined
26 IDs were introduced to change a few controls programmatically, for
27 example to mute a device during a channel switch.</para>
29 <para>Drivers may enumerate different controls after switching
30 the current video input or output, tuner or modulator, or audio input
31 or output. Different in the sense of other bounds, another default and
32 current value, step size or other menu items. A control with a certain
33 <emphasis>custom</emphasis> ID can also change name and
34 type.<footnote>
35 <para>It will be more convenient for applications if drivers
36 make use of the <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED</constant> flag, but
37 that was never required.</para>
38 </footnote> Control values are stored globally, they do not
39 change when switching except to stay within the reported bounds. They
40 also do not change ⪚ when the device is opened or closed, when the
41 tuner radio frequency is changed or generally never without
42 application request. Since V4L2 specifies no event mechanism, panel
43 applications intended to cooperate with other panel applications (be
44 they built into a larger application, as a TV viewer) may need to
45 regularly poll control values to update their user
46 interface.<footnote>
47 <para>Applications could call an ioctl to request events.
48 After another process called &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or another ioctl changing
49 shared properties the &func-select; function would indicate
50 readability until any ioctl (querying the properties) is
51 called.</para>
52 </footnote></para>
54 <para>
55 All controls use machine endianness.

498 <para>The control mechanism as originally designed was meant
499 to be used for user settings (brightness, saturation, etc). However,
500 it turned out to be a very useful model for implementing more
501 complicated driver APIs where each driver implements only a subset of
502 a larger API.</para>
504 <para>The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind
505 designing and implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG
506 standard is quite large and the currently supported hardware MPEG
507 encoders each only implement a subset of this standard. Further more,
508 many parameters relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG
509 stream are specific to the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard
510 only defines the format of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the
511 video is actually encoded into that format.</para>
513 <para>Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some
514 features needed for these new uses and so it was extended into the
515 (not terribly originally named) extended control API.</para>
517 <para>Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort
518 to use the Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes
519 of Extended Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls.
520 The Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are
521 described in the following text.</para>

525 <title>The Extended Control API</title>
527 <para>Three new ioctls are available: &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;,
528 &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; and &VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS;. These ioctls act on
529 arrays of controls (as opposed to the &VIDIOC-G-CTRL; and
530 &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; ioctls that act on a single control). This is needed
531 since it is often required to atomically change several controls at
532 once.</para>
534 <para>Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a
535 &v4l2-ext-controls;. This structure contains a pointer to the control
536 array, a count of the number of controls in that array and a control
537 class. Control classes are used to group similar controls into a
538 single class. For example, control class
539 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER</constant> contains all user controls
540 (&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old
541 <constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl). Control class
542 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG</constant> contains all controls
543 relating to MPEG encoding, etc.</para>
545 <para>All controls in the control array must belong to the
546 specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the
547 case.</para>
549 <para>It is also possible to use an empty control array (count
550 == 0) to check whether the specified control class is
551 supported.</para>
553 <para>The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The
554 <structname>v4l2_ext_control</structname> structure is very similar to
555 &v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit
556 values and pointers to be passed.</para>
558 <para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of
559 controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set
560 actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values
561 is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to
562 check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu
563 indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant>
564 may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will
565 return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG audio
566 bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others
567 support a wider range.</para>
569 <para>
570 All controls use machine endianness.

574 <section>
575 <title>Enumerating Extended Controls</title>
577 <para>The recommended way to enumerate over the extended
578 controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the
579 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag:</para>
581 <informalexample>
582 <programlisting>
583 &v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl;
585 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
586 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) {
587 /* ... */
588 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
589 }
590 </programlisting>
591 </informalexample>
593 <para>The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the
594 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag. The
595 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> ioctl will return the first
596 control with a higher ID than the specified one. When no such controls
597 are found an error is returned.</para>
599 <para>If you want to get all controls within a specific control
600 class, then you can set the initial
601 <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value to the control class and add
602 an extra check to break out of the loop when a control of another
603 control class is found:</para>
605 <informalexample>
606 <programlisting>
607 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG | V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
608 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) {
609 if (V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS (qctrl.id) != V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG)
610 break;
611 /* ... */
612 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
613 }
614 </programlisting>
615 </informalexample>
617 <para>The 32-bit <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value is
618 subdivided into three bit ranges: the top 4 bits are reserved for
619 flags (⪚ <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>) and are not
620 actually part of the ID. The remaining 28 bits form the control ID, of
621 which the most significant 12 bits define the control class and the
622 least significant 16 bits identify the control within the control
623 class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always non-zero
624 for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for
625 driver-specific controls. The macro
626 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)</constant> returns the control class
627 ID based on a control ID.</para>
629 <para>If the driver does not support extended controls, then
630 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will fail when used in
631 combination with <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>. In
632 that case the old method of enumerating control should be used (see
633 1.8). But if it is supported, then it is guaranteed to enumerate over
634 all controls, including driver-private controls.</para>
635 </section>
637 <section>
638 <title>Creating Control Panels</title>
640 <para>It is possible to create control panels for a graphical
641 user interface where the user can select the various controls.
642 Basically you will have to iterate over all controls using the method
643 described above. Each control class starts with a control of type
644 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS</constant>.
645 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will return the name of this
646 control class which can be used as the title of a tab page within a
647 control panel.</para>
649 <para>The flags field of &v4l2-queryctrl; also contains hints on
650 the behavior of the control. See the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; documentation
651 for more details.</para>
