| |
| ``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_MODULATOR, const struct v4l2_modulator *argp)`` |
| |
| Arguments |
| ========= |
| |
| ``fd`` |
| File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`. |
| |
| ``argp`` |
| Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_modulator`. |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| To query the attributes of a modulator applications initialize the |
| ``index`` field and zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct |
| :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` and call the |
| :ref:`VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR <VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. Drivers |
| fill the rest of the structure or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the |
| index is out of bounds. To enumerate all modulators applications shall |
| begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the driver returns |
| EINVAL. |
| |
| Modulators have two writable properties, an audio modulation set and the |
| radio frequency. To change the modulated audio subprograms, applications |
| initialize the ``index`` and ``txsubchans`` fields and the ``reserved`` |
| array and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_MODULATOR <VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR>` ioctl. Drivers may choose a |
| different audio modulation if the request cannot be satisfied. However |
| this is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual audio |
| modulation selected. |
| |
| :ref:`SDR <sdr>` specific modulator types are ``V4L2_TUNER_SDR`` and |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_RF``. For SDR devices ``txsubchans`` field must be |
| initialized to zero. The term 'modulator' means SDR transmitter in this |
| context. |
| |
| To change the radio frequency the |
| :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl is available. |

| * - __u32 |
| - ``index`` |
| - Identifies the modulator, set by the application. |
| * - __u8 |
| - ``name``\ [32] |
| - Name of the modulator, a NUL-terminated ASCII string. |
| |
| This information is intended for the user. |
| * - __u32 |
| - ``capability`` |
| - Modulator capability flags. No flags are defined for this field, |
| the tuner flags in struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` are |
| used accordingly. The audio flags indicate the ability to encode |
| audio subprograms. They will *not* change for example with the |
| current video standard. |
| * - __u32 |
| - ``rangelow`` |
| - The lowest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 KHz, or if the |
| ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units of |
| 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is |
| set, in units of 1 Hz. |
| * - __u32 |
| - ``rangehigh`` |
| - The highest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 KHz, or if the |
| ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units of |
| 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is |
| set, in units of 1 Hz. |
| * - __u32 |
| - ``txsubchans`` |
| - With this field applications can determine how audio sub-carriers |
| shall be modulated. It contains a set of flags as defined in |
| :ref:`modulator-txsubchans`. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| The tuner ``rxsubchans`` flags are reused, but the |
| semantics are different. Video output devices |
| are assumed to have an analog or PCM audio input with 1-3 |
| channels. The ``txsubchans`` flags select one or more channels |
| for modulation, together with some audio subprogram indicator, |
| for example, a stereo pilot tone. |
| * - __u32 |
| - ``type`` |
| - :cspan:`2` Type of the modulator, see :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`. |
| * - __u32 |
| - ``reserved``\ [3] |
| - Reserved for future extensions. |
| |
| Drivers and applications must set the array to zero. |

| :stub-columns: 0 |
| :widths: 3 1 4 |
| |
| * - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO`` |
| - 0x0001 |
| - Modulate channel 1 as mono audio, when the input has more |
| channels, a down-mix of channel 1 and 2. This flag does not |
| combine with ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_STEREO`` or |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_LANG1``. |
| * - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_STEREO`` |
| - 0x0002 |
| - Modulate channel 1 and 2 as left and right channel of a stereo |
| audio signal. When the input has only one channel or two channels |
| and ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_SAP`` is also set, channel 1 is encoded as |
| left and right channel. This flag does not combine with |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO`` or ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_LANG1``. When the |
| driver does not support stereo audio it shall fall back to mono. |
| * - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_LANG1`` |
| - 0x0008 |
| - Modulate channel 1 and 2 as primary and secondary language of a |
| bilingual audio signal. When the input has only one channel it is |
| used for both languages. It is not possible to encode the primary |
| or secondary language only. This flag does not combine with |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO``, ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_STEREO`` or |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_SAP``. If the hardware does not support the |
| respective audio matrix, or the current video standard does not |
| permit bilingual audio the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_MODULATOR <VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR>` ioctl shall |
| return an ``EINVAL`` error code and the driver shall fall back to mono |
| or stereo mode. |
| * - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_LANG2`` |
| - 0x0004 |
| - Same effect as ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_SAP``. |
| * - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_SAP`` |
| - 0x0004 |
| - When combined with ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO`` the first channel is |
| encoded as mono audio, the last channel as Second Audio Program. |
| When the input has only one channel it is used for both audio |
| tracks. When the input has three channels the mono track is a |
| down-mix of channel 1 and 2. When combined with |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_STEREO`` channel 1 and 2 are encoded as left and |
| right stereo audio, channel 3 as Second Audio Program. When the |
| input has only two channels, the first is encoded as left and |
| right channel and the second as SAP. When the input has only one |
| channel it is used for all audio tracks. It is not possible to |
| encode a Second Audio Program only. This flag must combine with |
| ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO`` or ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_STEREO``. If the |
| hardware does not support the respective audio matrix, or the |
| current video standard does not permit SAP the |
| :ref:`VIDIOC_S_MODULATOR <VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR>` ioctl shall return an ``EINVAL`` error code and |
| driver shall fall back to mono or stereo mode. |
| * - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS`` |
| - 0x0010 |
| - Enable the RDS encoder for a radio FM transmitter. |
| |
| Return Value |
| ============ |

| On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set |
| appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the |
| :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. |
| |
| EINVAL |
| The struct :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``index`` is |
| out of bounds. |
