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 &eg; 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 <para>
55 All controls use machine endianness.

481
482 <para>The control mechanism as originally designed was meant
483 to be used for user settings (brightness, saturation, etc). However,
484 it turned out to be a very useful model for implementing more
485 complicated driver APIs where each driver implements only a subset of
486 a larger API.</para>
487
488 <para>The MPEG encoding API was the driving force behind
489 designing and implementing this extended control mechanism: the MPEG
490 standard is quite large and the currently supported hardware MPEG
491 encoders each only implement a subset of this standard. Further more,
492 many parameters relating to how the video is encoded into an MPEG
493 stream are specific to the MPEG encoding chip since the MPEG standard
494 only defines the format of the resulting MPEG stream, not how the
495 video is actually encoded into that format.</para>
496
497 <para>Unfortunately, the original control API lacked some
498 features needed for these new uses and so it was extended into the
499 (not terribly originally named) extended control API.</para>
500
501 <para>Even though the MPEG encoding API was the first effort
502 to use the Extended Control API, nowadays there are also other classes
503 of Extended Controls, such as Camera Controls and FM Transmitter Controls.
504 The Extended Controls API as well as all Extended Controls classes are
505 described in the following text.</para>

509 <title>The Extended Control API</title>
510
511 <para>Three new ioctls are available: &VIDIOC-G-EXT-CTRLS;,
512 &VIDIOC-S-EXT-CTRLS; and &VIDIOC-TRY-EXT-CTRLS;. These ioctls act on
513 arrays of controls (as opposed to the &VIDIOC-G-CTRL; and
514 &VIDIOC-S-CTRL; ioctls that act on a single control). This is needed
515 since it is often required to atomically change several controls at
516 once.</para>
517
518 <para>Each of the new ioctls expects a pointer to a
519 &v4l2-ext-controls;. This structure contains a pointer to the control
520 array, a count of the number of controls in that array and a control
521 class. Control classes are used to group similar controls into a
522 single class. For example, control class
523 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_USER</constant> contains all user controls
524 (&ie; all controls that can also be set using the old
525 <constant>VIDIOC_S_CTRL</constant> ioctl). Control class
526 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG</constant> contains all controls
527 relating to MPEG encoding, etc.</para>
528
529 <para>All controls in the control array must belong to the
530 specified control class. An error is returned if this is not the
531 case.</para>
532
533 <para>It is also possible to use an empty control array (count
534 == 0) to check whether the specified control class is
535 supported.</para>
536
537 <para>The control array is a &v4l2-ext-control; array. The
538 <structname>v4l2_ext_control</structname> structure is very similar to
539 &v4l2-control;, except for the fact that it also allows for 64-bit
540 values and pointers to be passed.</para>
541
542 <para>It is important to realize that due to the flexibility of
543 controls it is necessary to check whether the control you want to set
544 actually is supported in the driver and what the valid range of values
545 is. So use the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; and &VIDIOC-QUERYMENU; ioctls to
546 check this. Also note that it is possible that some of the menu
547 indices in a control of type <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU</constant>
548 may not be supported (<constant>VIDIOC_QUERYMENU</constant> will
549 return an error). A good example is the list of supported MPEG audio
550 bitrates. Some drivers only support one or two bitrates, others
551 support a wider range.</para>
552
553 <para>
554 All controls use machine endianness.

559 <title>Enumerating Extended Controls</title>
560
561 <para>The recommended way to enumerate over the extended
562 controls is by using &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; in combination with the
563 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag:</para>
564
565 <informalexample>
566 <programlisting>
567 &v4l2-queryctrl; qctrl;
568
569 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
570 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &amp;qctrl)) {
571 /* ... */
572 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
573 }
574 </programlisting>
575 </informalexample>
576
577 <para>The initial control ID is set to 0 ORed with the
578 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant> flag. The
579 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> ioctl will return the first
580 control with a higher ID than the specified one. When no such controls
581 are found an error is returned.</para>
582
583 <para>If you want to get all controls within a specific control
584 class, then you can set the initial
585 <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value to the control class and add
586 an extra check to break out of the loop when a control of another
587 control class is found:</para>
588
589 <informalexample>
590 <programlisting>
591 qctrl.id = V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG | V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
592 while (0 == ioctl (fd, &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL;, &amp;qctrl)) {
593 if (V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS (qctrl.id) != V4L2_CTRL_CLASS_MPEG)
594 break;
595 /* ... */
596 qctrl.id |= V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL;
597 }
598 </programlisting>
599 </informalexample>
600
601 <para>The 32-bit <structfield>qctrl.id</structfield> value is
602 subdivided into three bit ranges: the top 4 bits are reserved for
603 flags (&eg; <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>) and are not
604 actually part of the ID. The remaining 28 bits form the control ID, of
605 which the most significant 12 bits define the control class and the
606 least significant 16 bits identify the control within the control
607 class. It is guaranteed that these last 16 bits are always non-zero
608 for controls. The range of 0x1000 and up are reserved for
609 driver-specific controls. The macro
610 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_ID2CLASS(id)</constant> returns the control class
611 ID based on a control ID.</para>
612
613 <para>If the driver does not support extended controls, then
614 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will fail when used in
615 combination with <constant>V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_NEXT_CTRL</constant>. In
616 that case the old method of enumerating control should be used (see
617 1.8). But if it is supported, then it is guaranteed to enumerate over
618 all controls, including driver-private controls.</para>

622 <title>Creating Control Panels</title>
623
624 <para>It is possible to create control panels for a graphical
625 user interface where the user can select the various controls.
626 Basically you will have to iterate over all controls using the method
627 described above. Each control class starts with a control of type
628 <constant>V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_CTRL_CLASS</constant>.
629 <constant>VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL</constant> will return the name of this
630 control class which can be used as the title of a tab page within a
631 control panel.</para>
632
633 <para>The flags field of &v4l2-queryctrl; also contains hints on
634 the behavior of the control. See the &VIDIOC-QUERYCTRL; documentation
635 for more details.</para>
