| 2 | |
| 3 | <para>VBI stands for Vertical Blanking Interval, a gap in the |
| 4 | sequence of lines of an analog video signal. During VBI no picture |
| 5 | information is transmitted, allowing some time while the electron beam |
| 6 | of a cathode ray tube TV returns to the top of the screen.</para> |
| 7 | |
| 8 | <para>Sliced VBI devices use hardware to demodulate data transmitted |
| 9 | in the VBI. V4L2 drivers shall <emphasis>not</emphasis> do this by |
| 10 | software, see also the <link linkend="raw-vbi">raw VBI |
| 11 | interface</link>. The data is passed as short packets of fixed size, |
| 12 | covering one scan line each. The number of packets per video frame is |
| 13 | variable.</para> |
| 14 | |
| 15 | <para>Sliced VBI capture and output devices are accessed through the |
| 16 | same character special files as raw VBI devices. When a driver |
| 17 | supports both interfaces, the default function of a |
| 18 | <filename>/dev/vbi</filename> device is <emphasis>raw</emphasis> VBI |
| 19 | capturing or output, and the sliced VBI function is only available |
| 20 | after calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl as defined below. Likewise a |
| 21 | <filename>/dev/video</filename> device may support the sliced VBI API, |
| 22 | however the default function here is video capturing or output. |
| 23 | Different file descriptors must be used to pass raw and sliced VBI |
| 24 | data simultaneously, if this is supported by the driver.</para> |

| 29 | <para>Devices supporting the sliced VBI capturing or output API |
| 30 | set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or |

| 32 | the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability; |
| 33 | returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. At least one of the |
| 34 | read/write, streaming or asynchronous <link linkend="io">I/O |
| 35 | methods</link> must be supported. Sliced VBI devices may have a tuner |
| 36 | or modulator.</para> |

| 53 | |
| 54 | <para>To find out which data services are supported by the |
| 55 | hardware applications can call the &VIDIOC-G-SLICED-VBI-CAP; ioctl. |
| 56 | All drivers implementing the sliced VBI interface must support this |
| 57 | ioctl. The results may differ from those of the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl |
| 58 | when the number of VBI lines the hardware can capture or output per |
| 59 | frame, or the number of services it can identify on a given line are |
| 60 | limited. For example on PAL line 16 the hardware may be able to look |
| 61 | for a VPS or Teletext signal, but not both at the same time.</para> |
| 62 | |
| 63 | <para>To determine the currently selected services applications |
| 64 | set the <structfield>type </structfield> field of &v4l2-format; to |
| 65 | <constant> V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or <constant> |
| 66 | V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT</constant>, and the &VIDIOC-G-FMT; |
| 67 | ioctl fills the <structfield>fmt.sliced</structfield> member, a |
| 68 | &v4l2-sliced-vbi-format;.</para> |
| 69 | |
| 70 | <para>Applications can request different parameters by |
| 71 | initializing or modifying the <structfield>fmt.sliced</structfield> |
| 72 | member and calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl with a pointer to the |
| 73 | <structname>v4l2_format</structname> structure.</para> |
| 74 | |
| 75 | <para>The sliced VBI API is more complicated than the raw VBI API |
| 76 | because the hardware must be told which VBI service to expect on each |
| 77 | scan line. Not all services may be supported by the hardware on all |
| 78 | lines (this is especially true for VBI output where Teletext is often |
| 79 | unsupported and other services can only be inserted in one specific |
| 80 | line). In many cases, however, it is sufficient to just set the |
| 81 | <structfield>service_set</structfield> field to the required services |
| 82 | and let the driver fill the <structfield>service_lines</structfield> |
| 83 | array according to hardware capabilities. Only if more precise control |
| 84 | is needed should the programmer set the |
| 85 | <structfield>service_lines</structfield> array explicitly.</para> |
| 86 | |
| 87 | <para>The &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl modifies the parameters |
| 88 | according to hardware capabilities. When the driver allocates |
| 89 | resources at this point, it may return an &EBUSY; if the required |
| 90 | resources are temporarily unavailable. Other resource allocation |
| 91 | points which may return <errorcode>EBUSY</errorcode> can be the |
| 92 | &VIDIOC-STREAMON; ioctl and the first &func-read;, &func-write; and |
| 93 | &func-select; call.</para> |

| 411 | V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_NONE</constant></link>, then the device |

| 414 | <para>The <link linkend="v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt"> |

| 418 | an application has negotiated sliced VBI service be captured.</para> |
| 419 | |
| 420 | <para>It may also be the case that a device can embed sliced VBI |
| 421 | data in only certain types of MPEG streams: for example in an MPEG-2 |
| 422 | PS but not an MPEG-2 TS. In this situation, if sliced VBI data |
| 423 | insertion is requested, the sliced VBI data will be embedded in MPEG |

| 449 | Program Pack</emphasis> in the MPEG stream.</para> |
| 450 | |
| 451 | <para><emphasis>Historical context</emphasis>: This format |
| 452 | specification originates from a custom, embedded, sliced VBI data |
| 453 | format used by the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver. This format |
| 454 | has already been informally specified in the kernel sources in the |
| 455 | file <filename>Documentation/video4linux/cx2341x/README.vbi</filename> |
| 456 | . The maximum size of the payload and other aspects of this format |
| 457 | are driven by the CX23415 MPEG decoder's capabilities and limitations |
| 458 | with respect to extracting, decoding, and displaying sliced VBI data |
| 459 | embedded within an MPEG stream.</para> |
| 460 | |
| 461 | <para>This format's use is <emphasis>not</emphasis> exclusive to |
| 462 | the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver <emphasis>nor</emphasis> |
| 463 | exclusive to CX2341x devices, as the sliced VBI data packet insertion |
| 464 | into the MPEG stream is implemented in driver software. At least the |
| 465 | <filename>cx18</filename> driver provides sliced VBI data insertion |
| 466 | into an MPEG-2 PS in this format as well.</para> |
| 467 | |
| 468 | <para>The following definitions specify the payload of the |
| 469 | MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES</emphasis> packets that contain |
| 470 | sliced VBI data when <link linkend="v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt"> |
| 471 | <constant>V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV</constant></link> is set. |
| 472 | (The MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES</emphasis> packet header |
| 473 | and encapsulating MPEG-2 <emphasis>Program Pack</emphasis> header are |
| 474 | not detailed here. Please refer to the MPEG-2 specifications for |
| 475 | details on those packet headers.)</para> |
| 476 | |
| 477 | <para>The payload of the MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES |
| 478 | </emphasis> packets that contain sliced VBI data is specified by |
| 479 | &v4l2-mpeg-vbi-fmt-ivtv;. The payload is variable |
| 480 | length, depending on the actual number of lines of sliced VBI data |
| 481 | present in a video frame. The payload may be padded at the end with |
| 482 | unspecified fill bytes to align the end of the payload to a 4-byte |
| 483 | boundary. The payload shall never exceed 1552 bytes (2 fields with |
| 484 | 18 lines/field with 43 bytes of data/line and a 4 byte magic number). |
