| <title>User Controls</title> |
| |
| <para>Devices typically have a number of user-settable controls |
| such as brightness, saturation and so on, which would be presented to |
| the user on a graphical user interface. But, different devices |
| will have different controls available, and furthermore, the range of |
| possible values, and the default value will vary from device to |
| device. The control ioctls provide the information and a mechanism to |
| create a nice user interface for these controls that will work |
| correctly with any device.</para> |
| |
| <para>All controls are accessed using an ID value. V4L2 defines |
| several IDs for specific purposes. Drivers can also implement their |
| own custom controls using <constant>V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE</constant> |
| and higher values. The pre-defined control IDs have the prefix |
| <constant>V4L2_CID_</constant>, and are listed in <xref |
| linkend="control-id" />. The ID is used when querying the attributes of |
| a control, and when getting or setting the current value.</para> |
| |
| <para>Generally applications should present controls to the user |
| without assumptions about their purpose. Each control comes with a |
| name string the user is supposed to understand. When the purpose is |
| non-intuitive the driver writer should provide a user manual, a user |
| interface plug-in or a driver specific panel application. Predefined |
| IDs were introduced to change a few controls programmatically, for |
| example to mute a device during a channel switch.</para> |
| |
| <para>Drivers may enumerate different controls after switching |
| the current video input or output, tuner or modulator, or audio input |
| or output. Different in the sense of other bounds, another default and |
| current value, step size or other menu items. A control with a certain |
| <emphasis>custom</emphasis> ID can also change name and |
| type.<footnote> |
| <para>It will be more convenient for applications if drivers |
| make use of the <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED</constant> flag, but |
| that was never required.</para> |
| </footnote> Control values are stored globally, they do not |
| change when switching except to stay within the reported bounds. They |
| also do not change ⪚ when the device is opened or closed, when the |
| tuner radio frequency is changed or generally never without |
| application request. Since V4L2 specifies no event mechanism, panel |
| applications intended to cooperate with other panel applications (be |
| they built into a larger application, as a TV viewer) may need to |
| regularly poll control values to update their user |
| interface.<footnote> |
| <para>Applications could call an ioctl to request events. |
| After another process called &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; or another ioctl changing |
| shared properties the &func-select; function would indicate |
| readability until any ioctl (querying the properties) is |
| called.</para> |

| <title>Introduction</title> |
| |
| <para>The control mechanism as originally designed was meant |
| to be used for user settings (brightness, saturation, etc). However, |
| it turned out to be a very useful model for implementing more |
| complicated driver APIs where each driver implements only a subset of |
| a larger API.</para> |
| |
| <para>The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind |
| designing and implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG |
| standard is quite large and the currently supported hardware MPEG |
| encoders each only implement a subset of this standard. Further more, |
| many parameters relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG |
| stream are specific to the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard |
| only defines the format of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the |
| video is actually encoded into that format.</para> |
| |
| <para>Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some |
| features needed for these new uses and so it was extended into the |
| (not terribly originally named) extended control API.</para> |
| |
| <para>Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort |
| to use the Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes |
| of Extended Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls. |
| The Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are |
| described in the following text.</para> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section> |
| <title>The Extended Control API</title> |
| |
| <para>Three new ioctls are available: &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;, |
| &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; and &VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS;. These ioctls act on |
| arrays of controls (as opposed to the &VIDIOC-G-CTRL; and |
| &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; ioctls that act on a single control). This is needed |
| since it is often required to atomically change several controls at |
| once.</para> |
| |
| <para>Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a |
| &v4l2-ext-controls;. This structure contains a pointer to the control |
| array, a count of the number of controls in that array and a control |
| class. Control classes are used to group similar controls into a |
| single class. For example, control class |
| <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER</constant> contains all user controls |
| (&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old |
| <constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl). Control class |
| <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG</constant> contains all controls |
| relating to MPEG encoding, etc.</para> |
| |
| <para>All controls in the control array must belong to the |
| specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the |
| case.</para> |
| |
| <para>It is also possible to use an empty control array (count |
| == 0) to check whether the specified control class is |
| supported.</para> |
| |
| <para>The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The |
| <structname>v4l2_ext_control</structname> structure is very similar to |
| &v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit |
| values and pointers to be passed.</para> |
| |
| <para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of |
| controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set |
| actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values |
| is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to |
| check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu |
| indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant> |
| may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will |
| return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG audio |
| bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others |
| support a wider range.</para> |
| </section> |
| |
| <section> |
| <title>Enumerating Extended Controls</title> |
| |
| <para>The recommended way to enumerate over the extended |
| controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the |
| <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag:</para> |
| |
| <informalexample> |
| <programlisting> |
| &v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl; |
| |
| qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; |
| while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) { |
| /* ... */ |
| qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; |
| } |
| </programlisting> |
| </informalexample> |
| |
| <para>The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the |
| <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag. The |
| <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> ioctl will return the first |
| control with a higher ID than the specified one. When no such controls |
| are found an error is returned.</para> |
| |
| <para>If you want to get all controls within a specific control |
| class, then you can set the initial |
| <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value to the control class and add |
| an extra check to break out of the loop when a control of another |
| control class is found:</para> |
| |
| <informalexample> |
| <programlisting> |
| qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG | V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; |
| while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) { |
| if (V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS (qctrl.id) != V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG) |
| break; |
| /* ... */ |
| qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; |
| } |
| </programlisting> |
| </informalexample> |
| |
| <para>The 32-bit <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value is |
| subdivided into three bit ranges: the top 4 bits are reserved for |
| flags (⪚ <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>) and are not |
| actually part of the ID. The remaining 28 bits form the control ID, of |
| which the most significant 12 bits define the control class and the |
| least significant 16 bits identify the control within the control |
| class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always non-zero |
| for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for |
| driver-specific controls. The macro |
| <constant>V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)</constant> returns the control class |
| ID based on a control ID.</para> |
| |
| <para>If the driver does not support extended controls, then |
| <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will fail when used in |
| combination with <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>. In |
| that case the old method of enumerating control should be used (see |
| 1.8). But if it is supported, then it is guaranteed to enumerate over |
| all controls, including driver-private controls.</para> |

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