2.17. V4L2 DV Timings functions

struct v4l2_fract v4l2_calc_timeperframe(const struct v4l2_dv_timings *t)

helper function to calculate timeperframe based v4l2_dv_timings fields.

Parameters

const struct v4l2_dv_timings *t

Timings for the video mode.

Description

Calculates the expected timeperframe using the pixel clock value and horizontal/vertical measures. This means that v4l2_dv_timings structure must be correctly and fully filled.

the timings according to the standard.

unsigned pclock_delta

maximum delta in Hz between standard->pixelclock and the measured timings.

Description

Returns true if the two timings match, returns false otherwise.

void v4l2_print_dv_timings(const char *dev_prefix, const char *prefix, const struct v4l2_dv_timings *t, bool detailed)

log the contents of a dv_timings struct

Parameters

const char *dev_prefix

device prefix for each log line.

const char *prefix

additional prefix for each log line, may be NULL.

const struct v4l2_dv_timings *t

the timings data.

bool detailed

if true, give a detailed log.

bool v4l2_detect_cvt(unsigned int frame_height, unsigned int hfreq, unsigned int vsync, unsigned int active_width, u32 polarities, bool interlaced, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *cap, struct v4l2_dv_timings *fmt)

detect if the given timings follow the CVT standard

Parameters

unsigned int frame_height

the total height of the frame (including blanking) in lines.

unsigned int hfreq

the horizontal frequency in Hz.

unsigned int vsync

the height of the vertical sync in lines.

unsigned int active_width

active width of image (does not include blanking). This information is needed only in case of version 2 of reduced blanking. In other cases, this parameter does not have any effect on timings.

u32 polarities

the horizontal and vertical polarities (same as struct v4l2_bt_timings polarities).

bool interlaced

if this flag is true, it indicates interlaced format

const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *cap

the v4l2_dv_timings_cap capabilities.

struct v4l2_dv_timings *fmt

the resulting timings.

Description

This function will attempt to detect if the given values correspond to a valid CVT format. If so, then it will return true, and fmt will be filled in with the found CVT timings.

bool v4l2_detect_gtf(unsigned int frame_height, unsigned int hfreq, unsigned int vsync, u32 polarities, bool interlaced, struct v4l2_fract aspect, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *cap, struct v4l2_dv_timings *fmt)

Parameters

unsigned int frame_height

unsigned int hfreq

the horizontal frequency in Hz.

unsigned int vsync

the height of the vertical sync in lines.

u32 polarities

the horizontal and vertical polarities (same as struct v4l2_bt_timings polarities).

bool interlaced

if this flag is true, it indicates interlaced format

struct v4l2_fract aspect

preferred aspect ratio. GTF has no method of determining the aspect ratio in order to derive the image width from the image height, so it has to be passed explicitly. Usually the native screen aspect ratio is used for this. If it is not filled in correctly, then 16:9 will be assumed.

const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap *cap

the v4l2_dv_timings_cap capabilities.

struct v4l2_dv_timings *fmt

the resulting timings.

Description

This function will attempt to detect if the given values correspond to a valid GTF format. If so, then it will return true, and fmt will be filled in with the found GTF timings.

check if conditions for reduced fps are true.

• For CEA861 timings: if V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS flag is true.
