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.

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

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

588 <section>
589 <title>Enumerating Extended Controls</title>
591 <para>The recommended way to enumerate over the extended
592 controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the
593 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag:</para>
595 <informalexample>
596 <programlisting>
597 &v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl;
599 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
600 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) {
601 /* ... */
602 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
603 }
604 </programlisting>
605 </informalexample>
607 <para>The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the
608 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag. The
609 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> ioctl will return the first
610 control with a higher ID than the specified one. When no such controls
611 are found an error is returned.</para>
613 <para>If you want to get all controls within a specific control
614 class, then you can set the initial
615 <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value to the control class and add
616 an extra check to break out of the loop when a control of another
617 control class is found:</para>
619 <informalexample>
620 <programlisting>
621 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG | V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
622 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) {
623 if (V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS (qctrl.id) != V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG)
624 break;
625 /* ... */
626 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
627 }
628 </programlisting>
629 </informalexample>
631 <para>The 32-bit <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value is
632 subdivided into three bit ranges: the top 4 bits are reserved for
633 flags (⪚ <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>) and are not
634 actually part of the ID. The remaining 28 bits form the control ID, of
635 which the most significant 12 bits define the control class and the
636 least significant 16 bits identify the control within the control
637 class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always non-zero
638 for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for
639 driver-specific controls. The macro
640 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)</constant> returns the control class
641 ID based on a control ID.</para>
643 <para>If the driver does not support extended controls, then
644 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will fail when used in
645 combination with <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>. In
646 that case the old method of enumerating control should be used (see
647 1.8). But if it is supported, then it is guaranteed to enumerate over
648 all controls, including driver-private controls.</para>

652 <title>Creating Control Panels</title>
654 <para>It is possible to create control panels for a graphical
655 user interface where the user can select the various controls.
656 Basically you will have to iterate over all controls using the method
657 described above. Each control class starts with a control of type
658 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS</constant>.
659 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will return the name of this
660 control class which can be used as the title of a tab page within a
661 control panel.</para>
663 <para>The flags field of &v4l2-queryctrl; also contains hints on
664 the behavior of the control. See the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; documentation
665 for more details.</para>

2369 If this setting is enabled, then the rate control logic of the encoder will calculate the average bitrate
2370 for a GOP and keep it below or equal the set bitrate target. Otherwise the rate control logic calculates the
2371 overall average bitrate for the stream and keeps it below or equal to the set bitrate. In the first case
2372 the average bitrate for the whole stream will be smaller then the set bitrate. This is caused because the
2373 average is calculated for smaller number of frames, on the other hand enabling this setting will ensure that
2374 the stream will meet tight bandwidth contraints. Applicable to encoders.

3309 <entry spanname="descr">Faults related to the flash. The
3310 faults tell about specific problems in the flash chip
3311 itself or the LEDs attached to it. Faults may prevent
3312 further use of some of the flash controls. In particular,
3313 V4L2_CID_FLASH_LED_MODE is set to V4L2_FLASH_LED_MODE_NONE
3314 if the fault affects the flash LED. Exactly which faults
3315 have such an effect is chip dependent. Reading the faults
3316 resets the control and returns the chip to a usable state
3317 if possible.</entry>
