1      <title>RDS Interface</title>
3       <para>The Radio Data System transmits supplementary
4 information in binary format, for example the station name or travel
5 information, on an inaudible audio subcarrier of a radio program. This
6 interface is aimed at devices capable of receiving and/or transmitting RDS
7 information.</para>
9       <para>For more information see the core RDS standard <xref linkend="en50067" />
10 and the RBDS standard <xref linkend="nrsc4" />.</para>
12       <para>Note that the RBDS standard as is used in the USA is almost identical
13 to the RDS standard. Any RDS decoder/encoder can also handle RBDS. Only some of the
14 fields have slightly different meanings. See the RBDS standard for more
15 information.</para>
17       <para>The RBDS standard also specifies support for MMBS (Modified Mobile Search).
18 This is a proprietary format which seems to be discontinued. The RDS interface does not
19 support this format. Should support for MMBS (or the so-called 'E blocks' in general)
20 be needed, then please contact the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;.</para>

23     <title>Querying Capabilities</title>
25     <para>Devices supporting the RDS capturing API set
26 the <constant>V4L2_CAP_RDS_CAPTURE</constant> flag in
27 the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
28 returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.  Any tuner that supports RDS
29 will set the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS</constant> flag in
30 the <structfield>capability</structfield> field of &v4l2-tuner;.  If
31 the driver only passes RDS blocks without interpreting the data
32 the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS_BLOCK_IO</constant> flag has to be
33 set, see <link linkend="reading-rds-data">Reading RDS data</link>.
34 For future use the
35 flag <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS_CONTROLS</constant> has also been
36 defined. However, a driver for a radio tuner with this capability does
37 not yet exist, so if you are planning to write such a driver you
38 should discuss this on the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;.</para>
40     <para> Whether an RDS signal is present can be detected by looking
41 at the <structfield>rxsubchans</structfield> field of &v4l2-tuner;:
42 the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS</constant> will be set if RDS data
43 was detected.</para>
45     <para>Devices supporting the RDS output API
46 set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_RDS_OUTPUT</constant> flag in
47 the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
48 returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.
49 Any modulator that supports RDS will set the
50 <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS</constant> flag in the <structfield>capability</structfield>
51 field of &v4l2-modulator;.
52 In order to enable the RDS transmission one must set the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS</constant>
53 bit in the <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> field of &v4l2-modulator;.
54 If the driver only passes RDS blocks without interpreting the data
55 the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS_BLOCK_IO</constant> flag has to be set. If the
56 tuner is capable of handling RDS entities like program identification codes and radio
57 text, the flag <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS_CONTROLS</constant> should be set,
