The detailed timing +information is filled in using the structure struct +:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`. These ioctls take a +pointer to the struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings` +structure as argument. If the ioctl is not supported or the timing +values are not correct, the driver returns ``EINVAL`` error code. + +The ``linux/v4l2-dv-timings.h`` header can be used to get the timings of +the formats in the :ref:`cea861` and :ref:`vesadmt` standards. If +the current input or output does not support DV timings (e.g. if +:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` does not set the +``V4L2_IN_CAP_DV_TIMINGS`` flag), then ``ENODATA`` error code is returned. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately.

In both cases the horizontal and/or + vertical blanking intervals are reduced, allowing a higher + resolution over the same bandwidth. This is a read-only flag, + applications must not set this. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS`` + - CEA-861 specific: set for CEA-861 formats with a framerate that is + a multiple of six. These formats can be optionally played at 1 / + 1.001 speed to be compatible with 60 Hz based standards such as + NTSC and PAL-M that use a framerate of 29.97 frames per second. If + the transmitter can't generate such frequencies, then the flag + will also be cleared. This is a read-only flag, applications must + not set this. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_FPS`` + - CEA-861 specific: only valid for video transmitters or video + receivers that have the ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_DETECT_REDUCED_FPS`` + set. This flag is cleared otherwise. It is also only valid for + formats with the ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS`` flag set, for other + formats the flag will be cleared by the driver. + + If the application sets this flag for a transmitter, then the + pixelclock used to set up the transmitter is divided by 1.001 to + make it compatible with NTSC framerates. If the transmitter can't + generate such frequencies, then the flag will be cleared. + + If a video receiver detects that the format uses a reduced framerate, + then it will set this flag to signal this to the application. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HALF_LINE`` + - Specific to interlaced formats: if set, then the vertical + frontporch of field 1 (aka the odd field) is really one half-line + longer and the vertical backporch of field 2 (aka the even field) + is really one half-line shorter, so each field has exactly the + same number of half-lines. Whether half-lines can be detected or + used depends on the hardware. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_IS_CE_VIDEO`` + - If set, then this is a Consumer Electronics (CE) video format. + Such formats differ from other formats (commonly called IT + formats) in that if R'G'B' encoding is used then by default the + R'G'B' values use limited range (i.e. 16-235) as opposed to full + range (i.e. 0-255). All formats defined in CEA-861 except for the + 640x480p59.94 format are CE formats. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_FIRST_FIELD_EXTRA_LINE`` + - Some formats like SMPTE-125M have an interlaced signal with a odd + total height. For these formats, if this flag is set, the first + field has the extra line. Else, it is the second field. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_PICTURE_ASPECT`` + - If set, then the picture_aspect field is valid. Otherwise assume that + the pixels are square, so the picture aspect ratio is the same as the + width to height ratio. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_CEA861_VIC`` + - If set, then the cea861_vic field is valid and contains the Video + Identification Code as per the CEA-861 standard. + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_HDMI_VIC`` + - If set, then the hdmi_vic field is valid and contains the Video + Identification Code as per the HDMI standard (HDMI Vendor Specific + InfoFrame). + * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_DETECT_REDUCED_FPS`` + - CEA-861 specific: only valid for video receivers, the flag is + cleared by transmitters. + If set, then the hardware can detect the difference between + regular framerates and framerates reduced by 1000/1001. E.g.: + 60 vs 59.94 Hz, 30 vs 29.97 Hz or 24 vs 23.976 Hz. |
