 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{10.2cm}|

 .. 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.
