+ User Controls + + 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. + + All controls are accessed using an ID value. V4L2 defines +several IDs for specific purposes. Drivers can also implement their +own custom controls using V4L2_CID_PRIVATE_BASE +and higher values. The pre-defined control IDs have the prefix +V4L2_CID_, and are listed in . The ID is used when querying the attributes of +a control, and when getting or setting the current value. + + 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. + + 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 +custom ID can also change name and +type. + It will be more convenient for applications if drivers +make use of the V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_DISABLED flag, but +that was never required. + 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. + 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. + + + + All controls use machine endianness. + + + + Control IDs + + &cs-def; + + + ID + Type + Description + + + + + V4L2_CID_BASE + + First predefined ID, equal to +V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS. + + + V4L2_CID_USER_BASE + + Synonym of V4L2_CID_BASE. + + + V4L2_CID_BRIGHTNESS + integer + Picture brightness, or more precisely, the black +level. + + + V4L2_CID_CONTRAST + integer + Picture contrast or luma gain. + + + V4L2_CID_SATURATION + integer + Picture color saturation or chroma gain. + + + V4L2_CID_HUE + integer + Hue or color balance. + + + V4L2_CID_AUDIO_VOLUME + integer + Overall audio volume.

+ Extended Controls + +
+ Introduction + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. + + 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. +
+ +
+ The Extended Control API + + 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. + + 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 +V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER contains all user controls +(&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old +VIDIOC_S_CTRL ioctl). Control class +V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG contains all controls +relating to MPEG encoding, etc. + + All controls in the control array must belong to the +specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the +case. + + It is also possible to use an empty control array (count +== 0) to check whether the specified control class is +supported. + + The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The +v4l2_ext_control structure is very similar to +&v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit +values and pointers to be passed. + + 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 V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU +may not be supported (VIDIOC_QUERYMENU 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. + + + All controls use machine endianness. + +
+ +
+ Enumerating Extended Controls + + The recommended way to enumerate over the extended +controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the +V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag: + + + +&v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl; + +qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; +while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &qctrl)) { + /* ... */ + qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL; +} + + + + The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the +V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL flag. The +VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL ioctl will return the first +control with a higher ID than the specified one. When no such controls +are found an error is returned. + + If you want to get all controls within a specific control +class, then you can set the initial +qctrl.id 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: + + + +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; + } + + + + The 32-bit qctrl.id value is +subdivided into three bit ranges: the top 4 bits are reserved for +flags (⪚ V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL) 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 +V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id) returns the control class +ID based on a control ID. + + If the driver does not support extended controls, then +VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL will fail when used in +combination with V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL. 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. +
+ +
+ Creating Control Panels + + 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 +V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS. +VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL will return the name of this +control class which can be used as the title of a tab page within a +control panel. + + The flags field of &v4l2-queryctrl; also contains hints on +the behavior of the control. See the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; documentation +for more details. +
+ +

+ Supported use cases + +
+ Unsynchronised LED flash (software strobe) + + + Unsynchronised LED flash is controlled directly by the + host as the sensor. The flash must be enabled by the host + before the exposure of the image starts and disabled once + it ends. The host is fully responsible for the timing of + the flash. + + + Example of such device: Nokia N900. +
+ +
+ Synchronised LED flash (hardware strobe) + + + The synchronised LED flash is pre-programmed by the host + (power and timeout) but controlled by the sensor through a + strobe signal from the sensor to the flash. + + + + The sensor controls the flash duration and timing. This + information typically must be made available to the + sensor. + + +
+ +
+ LED flash as torch + + + LED flash may be used as torch in conjunction with another + use case involving camera or individually. + + +
