The DVB video device controls the MPEG2 video decoder of the DVB hardware.
It can be accessed through \texttt{/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0}.
Data types and and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
\texttt{linux/dvb/video.h} in your application.


Note that the DVB video device only controls decoding of the MPEG
video stream, not its presentation on the TV or computer screen.
On PCs this is typically handled by an associated video4linux device, e.g.
\texttt{/dev/video}, which allows scaling and defining output windows.

Some DVB cards don't have their own MPEG decoder, which results in the omission
of the audio and video device as well as the video4linux device.

The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation
packets are only supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback.


\devsubsec{Video Data Types}

\devsubsubsec{video\_format\_t}
\label{videoformat}

The \texttt{video\_format\_t} data type defined by 
\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum {
        VIDEO_FORMAT_4_3,
        VIDEO_FORMAT_16_9
} video_format_t;
\end{verbatim}
is used in the VIDEO\_SET\_FORMAT function (\ref{videosetformat}) to 
tell the driver which aspect ratio the output hardware (e.g. TV) has.
It is also used in the data structures video\_status (\ref{videostatus})
returned by VIDEO\_GET\_STATUS  (\ref{videogetstatus}) and
video\_event (\ref{videoevent}) returned by VIDEO\_GET\_EVENT (\ref{videogetevent}) 
which report about the display format of the current video stream.

\devsubsubsec{video\_display\_format\_t}
\label{videodispformat}

In case the display format of the video stream and of the 
display hardware differ the application has to specify how to handle 
the cropping of the picture.
This can be done using the VIDEO\_SET\_DISPLAY\_FORMAT call
(\ref{videosetdisplayformat}) which accepts 
\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum {   
        VIDEO_PAN_SCAN,   
        VIDEO_LETTER_BOX, 
        VIDEO_CENTER_CUT_OUT
} video_display_format_t;
\end{verbatim}
as argument.


\devsubsubsec{video stream source}
\label{videostreamsource}
The video stream source is set through the VIDEO\_SELECT\_SOURCE
call and can take the following values, depending on whether we are
replaying from an internal (demuxer) or external (user write) source.
\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum {
        VIDEO_SOURCE_DEMUX, 
        VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY 
} video_stream_source_t;
\end{verbatim}
VIDEO\_SOURCE\_DEMUX selects the demultiplexer (fed
either by the frontend or the DVR device) as the source of 
the video stream.
If VIDEO\_SOURCE\_MEMORY is selected the stream 
comes from the application through the \texttt{write()} 
system call.

\devsubsubsec{video play state}
\label{videoplaystate}
The following values can be returned by the VIDEO\_GET\_STATUS call
representing the state of video playback.
\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum {
        VIDEO_STOPPED, 
        VIDEO_PLAYING, 
        VIDEO_FREEZED  
} video_play_state_t; 
\end{verbatim}


\devsubsubsec{struct video\_event}
\label{videoevent}
The following is the structure of a video event as it is returned by
the VIDEO\_GET\_EVENT call.
\begin{verbatim}
struct video_event { 
        int32_t type; 
        time_t timestamp;
        union { 
                video_format_t video_format;
        } u; 
};
\end{verbatim}

\devsubsubsec{struct video\_status}
\label{videostatus}
The VIDEO\_GET\_STATUS call returns the following structure informing
about various states of the playback operation.
\begin{verbatim}
struct video_status { 
        boolean video_blank;                 
        video_play_state_t play_state;         
        video_stream_source_t stream_source;
        video_format_t video_format;
        video_displayformat_t display_format; 
};
\end{verbatim}
If video\_blank is set video will be blanked out if the channel is changed or
if playback is stopped. Otherwise, the last picture will be displayed.
play\_state indicates if the video is currently frozen, stopped, or
being played back. The stream\_source corresponds to the seleted source 
for the video stream. It can come either from the demultiplexer or from memory.
The video\_format indicates the aspect ratio (one of 4:3 or 16:9)
of the currently played video stream.
Finally, display\_format corresponds to the selected cropping mode in case the 
source video format is not the same as the format of the output device.


\devsubsubsec{struct video\_still\_picture}
\label{videostill}
An I-frame displayed via the VIDEO\_STILLPICTURE call is passed on
within the following structure.
\begin{verbatim}
/* pointer to and size of a single iframe in memory */
struct video_still_picture { 
        char *iFrame; 
        int32_t size; 
};
\end{verbatim}

\devsubsubsec{video capabilities}
\label{videocaps}
A call to VIDEO\_GET\_CAPABILITIES returns an unsigned integer with
the following bits set according to the hardwares capabilities.
\begin{verbatim}
/* bit definitions for capabilities: */
/* can the hardware decode MPEG1 and/or MPEG2? */
#define VIDEO_CAP_MPEG1   1 
#define VIDEO_CAP_MPEG2   2
/* can you send a system and/or program stream to video device?
   (you still have to open the video and the audio device but only 
    send the stream to the video device) */
#define VIDEO_CAP_SYS     4
#define VIDEO_CAP_PROG    8
/* can the driver also handle SPU, NAVI and CSS encoded data? 
   (CSS API is not present yet) */
#define VIDEO_CAP_SPU    16
#define VIDEO_CAP_NAVI   32
#define VIDEO_CAP_CSS    64
\end{verbatim}


\devsubsubsec{video system}
\label{videosys}
A call to VIDEO\_SET\_SYSTEM sets the desired video system for TV
output. The following  system types can be set:

\begin{verbatim}
typedef enum {
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_PAL, 
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_NTSC, 
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALN, 
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALNc, 
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALM, 
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_NTSC60, 
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_PAL60,
         VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALM60
} video_system_t;
\end{verbatim}



\devsubsubsec{struct video\_highlight}
\label{vhilite}
Calling the ioctl VIDEO\_SET\_HIGHLIGHTS posts the SPU highlight
information. The call expects the following format for that information:

\begin{verbatim}
typedef 
struct video_highlight {
        boolean active;      /*    1=show highlight, 0=hide highlight */
        uint8_t contrast1;   /*    7- 4  Pattern pixel contrast */
                             /*    3- 0  Background pixel contrast */
        uint8_t contrast2;   /*    7- 4  Emphasis pixel-2 contrast */
                             /*    3- 0  Emphasis pixel-1 contrast */
        uint8_t color1;      /*    7- 4  Pattern pixel color */
                             /*    3- 0  Background pixel color */
        uint8_t color2;      /*    7- 4  Emphasis pixel-2 color */
                             /*    3- 0  Emphasis pixel-1 color */
        uint32_t ypos;       /*   23-22  auto action mode */
                             /*   21-12  start y */
                             /*    9- 0  end y */
        uint32_t xpos;       /*   23-22  button color number */
                             /*   21-12  start x */
                             /*    9- 0  end x */
} video_highlight_t;
\end{verbatim}


\devsubsubsec{video SPU}
\label{videospu}
Calling VIDEO\_SET\_SPU deactivates or activates SPU decoding,
according to the following format:
\begin{verbatim}
typedef 
struct video_spu {
        boolean active;
        int stream_id;
} video_spu_t;
\end{verbatim}

The following structure is used to set the SPU palette by calling VIDEO\_SPU\_PALETTE:
\begin{verbatim}
typedef 
struct video_spu_palette{
        int length;
        uint8_t *palette;
} video_spu_palette_t;
\end{verbatim}

\devsubsubsec{video NAVI pack}
\label{videonavi}
In order to get the navigational data the following structure has to
be passed to the ioctl VIDEO\_GET\_NAVI:
\begin{verbatim}
typedef 
struct video_navi_pack{
        int length;         /* 0 ... 1024 */
        uint8_t data[1024];
} video_navi_pack_t;
\end{verbatim}

\devsubsec{Video Function Calls}

\function{open()}{
  int open(const char *deviceName, int flags);}{
  This system call opens a named video device (e.g. /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0) 
  for subsequent use.
  
  When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use.
  The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in 
  the documentation for functions where there is a difference. 
  It does not affect the semantics of the open() call itself. 
  A device opened in blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode 
  (and vice versa) using the F\_SETFL command of the fcntl system
  call.  
  This is a standard system call, documented in the Linux manual 
  page for fcntl.
  Only one user can open the Video Device in O\_RDWR mode. All other attempts to
  open the device in this mode will fail, and an error-code will be returned.
  If the Video Device is opened in O\_RDONLY mode, the only ioctl call that can
  be used is VIDEO\_GET\_STATUS. All other call will return an error code.
