1 <section id="control"> 2 <title>User Controls</title> 3 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> 12 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> 20 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> 28 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> 53 54 <table pgwide="1" frame="none" id="control-id"> 55 <title>Control IDs</title> 56 <tgroup cols="3"> 57 &cs-def; 58 <thead> 59 <row> 60 <entry>ID</entry> 61 <entry>Type</entry> 62 <entry>Description</entry> 63 </row> 64 </thead> 65 <tbody valign="top"> 66 <row> 67 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_BASE</constant></entry> 68 <entry></entry> 69 <entry>First predefined ID, equal to 70 <constant>V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS</constant>.</entry> 71 </row> 72 <row> 73 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_USER_BASE</constant></entry> 74 <entry></entry> 75 <entry>Synonym of <constant>V4L2_CID_BASE</constant>.</entry> 76 </row> 77 <row> 78 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS</constant></entry> 79 <entry>integer</entry> 80 <entry>Picture brightness, or more precisely, the black 81 level.</entry> 82 </row> 83 <row> 84 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_CONTRAST</constant></entry> 85 <entry>integer</entry> 86 <entry>Picture contrast or luma gain.</entry> 87 </row> 88 <row> 89 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_SATURATION</constant></entry> 90 <entry>integer</entry> 91 <entry>Picture color saturation or chroma gain.</entry> 92 </row> 93 <row> 94 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_HUE</constant></entry> 95 <entry>integer</entry> 96 <entry>Hue or color balance.</entry> 97 </row> 98 <row> 99 <entry><constant>V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME</constant></entry> 100 <entry>integer</entry> 101 <entry>Overall audio volume.

However, 480 it turned out to be a very useful model for implementing more 481 complicated driver APIs where each driver implements only a subset of 482 a larger API.</para> 483 484 <para>The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind 485 designing and implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG 486 standard is quite large and the currently supported hardware MPEG 487 encoders each only implement a subset of this standard. Further more, 488 many parameters relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG 489 stream are specific to the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard 490 only defines the format of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the 491 video is actually encoded into that format.</para> 492 493 <para>Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some 494 features needed for these new uses and so it was extended into the 495 (not terribly originally named) extended control API.</para> 496 497 <para>Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort 498 to use the Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes 499 of Extended Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls. 500 The Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are 501 described in the following text.</para> 502 </section> 503 504 <section> 505 <title>The Extended Control API</title> 506 507 <para>Three new ioctls are available: &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, 508 &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; and &VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS;. These ioctls act on 509 arrays of controls (as opposed to the &VIDIOC-G-CTRL; and 510 &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; ioctls that act on a single control). This is needed 511 since it is often required to atomically change several controls at 512 once.</para> 513 514 <para>Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a 515 &v4l2-ext-controls;. This structure contains a pointer to the control 516 array, a count of the number of controls in that array and a control 517 class. Control classes are used to group similar controls into a 518 single class. For example, control class 519 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER</constant> contains all user controls 520 (&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old 521 <constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl). Control class 522 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG</constant> contains all controls 523 relating to MPEG encoding, etc.</para> 524 525 <para>All controls in the control array must belong to the 526 specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the 527 case.</para> 528 529 <para>It is also possible to use an empty control array (count 530 == 0) to check whether the specified control class is 531 supported.</para> 532 533 <para>The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The 534 <structname>v4l2_ext_control</structname> structure is very similar to 535 &v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit 536 values and pointers to be passed.</para> 537 538 <para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of 539 controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set 540 actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values 541 is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to 542 check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu 543 indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant> 544 may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will 545 return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG audio 546 bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others 547 support a wider range.</para> 548 </section> 549 550 <section> 551 <title>Enumerating Extended Controls</title> 552 553 <para>The recommended way to enumerate over the extended 554 controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the 555 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag:</para> 556 557 <informalexample> 558 <programlisting> 559 &v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl; 560 561 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; 562 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) { 563 /* ... */ 564 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; 565 } 566 </programlisting> 567 </informalexample> 568 569 <para>The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the 570 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag.
