| |
| |
| - .. row 1 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``width`` |
| |
| - Image width in pixels. |
| |
| - .. row 2 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``height`` |
| |
| - Image height in pixels. If ``field`` is one of ``V4L2_FIELD_TOP``, |
| ``V4L2_FIELD_BOTTOM`` or ``V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE`` then height |
| refers to the number of lines in the field, otherwise it refers to |
| the number of lines in the frame (which is twice the field height |
| for interlaced formats). |
| |
| - .. row 3 |
| |
| - :cspan:`2` Applications set these fields to request an image |
| size, drivers return the closest possible values. In case of |
| planar formats the ``width`` and ``height`` applies to the largest |
| plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers must return values rounded up |
| to a multiple of the scale factor of any smaller planes. For |
| example when the image format is YUV 4:2:0, ``width`` and |
| ``height`` must be multiples of two. |
| |
| - .. row 4 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``pixelformat`` |
| |
| - The pixel format or type of compression, set by the application. |
| This is a little endian |
| :ref:`four character code <v4l2-fourcc>`. V4L2 defines standard |
| RGB formats in :ref:`rgb-formats`, YUV formats in |
| :ref:`yuv-formats`, and reserved codes in |
| :ref:`reserved-formats` |
| |
| - .. row 5 |
| |
| - enum :ref:`v4l2_field <v4l2-field>` |
| |
| - ``field`` |
| |
| - Video images are typically interlaced. Applications can request to |
| capture or output only the top or bottom field, or both fields |
| interlaced or sequentially stored in one buffer or alternating in |
| separate buffers. Drivers return the actual field order selected. |
| For more details on fields see :ref:`field-order`. |
| |
| - .. row 6 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``bytesperline`` |
| |
| - Distance in bytes between the leftmost pixels in two adjacent |
| lines. |
| |
| - .. row 7 |
| |
| - :cspan:`2` |
| |
| Both applications and drivers can set this field to request |
| padding bytes at the end of each line. Drivers however may ignore |
| the value requested by the application, returning ``width`` times |
| bytes per pixel or a larger value required by the hardware. That |
| implies applications can just set this field to zero to get a |
| reasonable default. |
| |
| Video hardware may access padding bytes, therefore they must |
| reside in accessible memory. Consider cases where padding bytes |
| after the last line of an image cross a system page boundary. |
| Input devices may write padding bytes, the value is undefined. |
| Output devices ignore the contents of padding bytes. |
| |
| When the image format is planar the ``bytesperline`` value applies |
| to the first plane and is divided by the same factor as the |
| ``width`` field for the other planes. For example the Cb and Cr |
| planes of a YUV 4:2:0 image have half as many padding bytes |
| following each line as the Y plane. To avoid ambiguities drivers |
| must return a ``bytesperline`` value rounded up to a multiple of |
| the scale factor. |
| |
| For compressed formats the ``bytesperline`` value makes no sense. |
| Applications and drivers must set this to 0 in that case. |
| |
| - .. row 8 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``sizeimage`` |
| |
| - Size in bytes of the buffer to hold a complete image, set by the |
| driver. Usually this is ``bytesperline`` times ``height``. When |
| the image consists of variable length compressed data this is the |
| maximum number of bytes required to hold an image. |
| |
| - .. row 9 |
| |
| - enum :ref:`v4l2_colorspace <v4l2-colorspace>` |
| |
| - ``colorspace`` |
| |
| - This information supplements the ``pixelformat`` and must be set |
| by the driver for capture streams and by the application for |
| output streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`. |
| |
| - .. row 10 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``priv`` |
| |
| - This field indicates whether the remaining fields of the |
| :c:type:`struct v4l2_pix_format` structure, also called the |
| extended fields, are valid. When set to |
| ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC``, it indicates that the extended fields |
| have been correctly initialized. When set to any other value it |
| indicates that the extended fields contain undefined values. |
| |
| Applications that wish to use the pixel format extended fields |
| must first ensure that the feature is supported by querying the |
| device for the :ref:`V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT <querycap>` |
| capability. If the capability isn't set the pixel format extended |
| fields are not supported and using the extended fields will lead |
| to undefined results. |
| |
| To use the extended fields, applications must set the ``priv`` |
| field to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC``, initialize all the extended |
| fields and zero the unused bytes of the |
| :c:type:`struct v4l2_format` ``raw_data`` field. |
| |
| When the ``priv`` field isn't set to ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC`` |
| drivers must act as if all the extended fields were set to zero. |
| On return drivers must set the ``priv`` field to |
| ``V4L2_PIX_FMT_PRIV_MAGIC`` and all the extended fields to |
| applicable values. |
| |
| - .. row 11 |
| |
| - __u32 |
| |
| - ``flags`` |
| |
| - Flags set by the application or driver, see :ref:`format-flags`. |
| |
| - .. row 12 |
| |
| - enum :ref:`v4l2_ycbcr_encoding <v4l2-ycbcr-encoding>` |
| |
| - ``ycbcr_enc`` |
| |
| - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by |
| the driver for capture streams and by the application for output |
| streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`. |
| |
| - .. row 13 |
| |
| - enum :ref:`v4l2_quantization <v4l2-quantization>` |
| |
| - ``quantization`` |
| |
| - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by |
| the driver for capture streams and by the application for output |
| streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`. |
| |
| - .. row 14 |
| |
| - enum :ref:`v4l2_xfer_func <v4l2-xfer-func>` |
| |
| - ``xfer_func`` |
| |
| - This information supplements the ``colorspace`` and must be set by |
| the driver for capture streams and by the application for output |
| streams, see :ref:`colorspaces`. |
