-Digital Video Control Reference
-*******************************
-
-The Digital Video control class is intended to control receivers and
-transmitters for `VGA <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vga>`__,
-`DVI <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface>`__
-(Digital Visual Interface), HDMI (:ref:`hdmi`) and DisplayPort
-(:ref:`dp`). These controls are generally expected to be private to
-the receiver or transmitter subdevice that implements them, so they are
-only exposed on the ``/dev/v4l-subdev*`` device node.
-
-.. note::
-
- Note that these devices can have multiple input or output pads which are
- hooked up to e.g. HDMI connectors. Even though the subdevice will
- receive or transmit video from/to only one of those pads, the other pads
- can still be active when it comes to EDID (Extended Display
- Identification Data, :ref:`vesaedid`) and HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
- Content Protection System, :ref:`hdcp`) processing, allowing the
- device to do the fairly slow EDID/HDCP handling in advance. This allows
- for quick switching between connectors.
-
-These pads appear in several of the controls in this section as
-bitmasks, one bit for each pad. Bit 0 corresponds to pad 0, bit 1 to pad
-1, etc. The maximum value of the control is the set of valid pads.

-Digital Video Control IDs
-=========================
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_CLASS (class)``
- The Digital Video class descriptor.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_HOTPLUG (bitmask)``
- Many connectors have a hotplug pin which is high if EDID information
- is available from the source. This control shows the state of the
- hotplug pin as seen by the transmitter. Each bit corresponds to an
- output pad on the transmitter. If an output pad does not have an
- associated hotplug pin, then the bit for that pad will be 0. This
- read-only control is applicable to DVI-D, HDMI and DisplayPort
- connectors.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_RXSENSE (bitmask)``
- Rx Sense is the detection of pull-ups on the TMDS clock lines. This
- normally means that the sink has left/entered standby (i.e. the
- transmitter can sense that the receiver is ready to receive video).
- Each bit corresponds to an output pad on the transmitter. If an
- output pad does not have an associated Rx Sense, then the bit for
- that pad will be 0. This read-only control is applicable to DVI-D
- and HDMI devices.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_EDID_PRESENT (bitmask)``
- When the transmitter sees the hotplug signal from the receiver it
- will attempt to read the EDID. If set, then the transmitter has read
- at least the first block (= 128 bytes). Each bit corresponds to an
- output pad on the transmitter. If an output pad does not support
- EDIDs, then the bit for that pad will be 0. This read-only control
- is applicable to VGA, DVI-A/D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_MODE``
- (enum)
-
-enum v4l2_dv_tx_mode -
- HDMI transmitters can transmit in DVI-D mode (just video) or in HDMI
- mode (video + audio + auxiliary data). This control selects which
- mode to use: V4L2_DV_TX_MODE_DVI_D or V4L2_DV_TX_MODE_HDMI.
- This control is applicable to HDMI connectors.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_RGB_RANGE``
- (enum)
-
-enum v4l2_dv_rgb_range -
- Select the quantization range for RGB output. V4L2_DV_RANGE_AUTO
- follows the RGB quantization range specified in the standard for the
- video interface (ie. :ref:`cea861` for HDMI).
- V4L2_DV_RANGE_LIMITED and V4L2_DV_RANGE_FULL override the
- standard to be compatible with sinks that have not implemented the
- standard correctly (unfortunately quite common for HDMI and DVI-D).
- Full range allows all possible values to be used whereas limited
- range sets the range to (16 << (N-8)) - (235 << (N-8)) where N is
- the number of bits per component. This control is applicable to VGA,
- DVI-A/D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE``
- (enum)
-
-enum v4l2_dv_it_content_type -
- Configures the IT Content Type of the transmitted video. This
- information is sent over HDMI and DisplayPort connectors as part of
- the AVI InfoFrame. The term 'IT Content' is used for content that
- originates from a computer as opposed to content from a TV broadcast
- or an analog source. The enum v4l2_dv_it_content_type defines
- the possible content types:
-
-.. tabularcolumns:: |p{7.3cm}|p{10.4cm}|
-
-.. flat-table::
- :header-rows: 0
- :stub-columns: 0
-
- * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_GRAPHICS``
- - Graphics content. Pixel data should be passed unfiltered and
- without analog reconstruction.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_PHOTO``
- - Photo content. The content is derived from digital still pictures.
- The content should be passed through with minimal scaling and
- picture enhancements.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_CINEMA``
- - Cinema content.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_GAME``
- - Game content. Audio and video latency should be minimized.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_IT_CONTENT_TYPE_NO_ITC``
- - No IT Content information is available and the ITC bit in the AVI
- InfoFrame is set to 0.
-
-
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_RX_POWER_PRESENT (bitmask)``
- Detects whether the receiver receives power from the source (e.g.
- HDMI carries 5V on one of the pins). This is often used to power an
- eeprom which contains EDID information, such that the source can
- read the EDID even if the sink is in standby/power off. Each bit
- corresponds to an input pad on the receiver. If an input pad
- cannot detect whether power is present, then the bit for that pad
- will be 0. This read-only control is applicable to DVI-D, HDMI and
- DisplayPort connectors.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_RX_RGB_RANGE``
- (enum)
-
-enum v4l2_dv_rgb_range -
- Select the quantization range for RGB input. V4L2_DV_RANGE_AUTO
- follows the RGB quantization range specified in the standard for the
- video interface (ie. :ref:`cea861` for HDMI).
- V4L2_DV_RANGE_LIMITED and V4L2_DV_RANGE_FULL override the
- standard to be compatible with sources that have not implemented the
- standard correctly (unfortunately quite common for HDMI and DVI-D).
- Full range allows all possible values to be used whereas limited
- range sets the range to (16 << (N-8)) - (235 << (N-8)) where N is
- the number of bits per component. This control is applicable to VGA,
- DVI-A/D, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.
-
-``V4L2_CID_DV_RX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE``
- (enum)
-
-enum v4l2_dv_it_content_type -
- Reads the IT Content Type of the received video. This information is
- sent over HDMI and DisplayPort connectors as part of the AVI
- InfoFrame. The term 'IT Content' is used for content that originates
- from a computer as opposed to content from a TV broadcast or an
- analog source. See ``V4L2_CID_DV_TX_IT_CONTENT_TYPE`` for the
- available content types.
