The video standards discussed so far have been dealing with Analog TV and the
corresponding video timings. Today there are many more different hardware interfaces
such as High Definition TV interfaces (HDMI), VGA, DVI connectors etc., that carry
video signals and there is a need to extend the API to select the video timings
for these interfaces. Since it is not possible to extend the &v4l2-std-id; due to
the limited bits available, a new set of IOCTLs is added to set/get video timings at
the limited bits available, a new set of IOCTLs was added to set/get video timings at
the input and output: </para><itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>DV Timings: This will allow applications to define detailed
video timings for the interface. This includes parameters such as width, height,
polarities, frontporch, backporch etc. The <filename>linux/v4l2-dv-timings.h</filename>
header can be used to get the timings of the formats in the <xref linkend="cea861" /> and
<xref linkend="vesadmt" /> standards.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>DV Presets: Digital Video (DV) presets. These are IDs representing a
video timing at the input/output. Presets are pre-defined timings implemented
by the hardware according to video standards. A __u32 data type is used to represent
a preset unlike the bit mask that is used in &v4l2-std-id; allowing future extensions
to support as many different presets as needed.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Custom DV Timings: This will allow applications to define more detailed
custom video timings for the interface. This includes parameters such as width, height,
polarities, frontporch, backporch etc.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>To enumerate and query the attributes of the DV timings supported by a device,
applications use the &VIDIOC-ENUM-DV-TIMINGS; and &VIDIOC-DV-TIMINGS-CAP; ioctls.
To set DV timings for the device, applications use the
&VIDIOC-S-DV-TIMINGS; ioctl and to get current DV timings they use the
&VIDIOC-G-DV-TIMINGS; ioctl. To detect the DV timings as seen by the video receiver applications
use the &VIDIOC-QUERY-DV-TIMINGS; ioctl.</para>

<entry>V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_BLANKING</entry>
<entry>CVT/GTF specific: the timings use reduced blanking (CVT) or the 'Secondary
GTF' curve (GTF). In both cases the horizontal and/or vertical blanking
intervals are reduced, allowing a higher resolution over the same
bandwidth. This is a read-only flag, applications must not set this.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS</entry>
<entry>CEA-861 specific: set for CEA-861 formats with a framerate that is a multiple
of six. These formats can be optionally played at 1 / 1.001 speed to
be compatible with 60 Hz based standards such as NTSC and PAL-M that use a framerate of
29.97 frames per second. If the transmitter can't generate such frequencies, then the
flag will also be cleared. This is a read-only flag, applications must not set this.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_FPS</entry>
<entry>CEA-861 specific: only valid for video transmitters, the flag is cleared
by receivers. It is also only valid for formats with the V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS flag
set, for other formats the flag will be cleared by the driver.
If the application sets this flag, then the pixelclock used to set up the transmitter is
divided by 1.001 to make it compatible with NTSC framerates. If the transmitter
can't generate such frequencies, then the flag will also be cleared.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry>V4L2_DV_FL_HALF_LINE</entry>
<entry>Specific to interlaced formats: if set, then field 1 (aka the odd field)
is really one half-line longer and field 2 (aka the even field) is really one half-line
shorter, so each field has exactly the same number of half-lines. Whether half-lines can be
detected or used depends on the hardware.

<para>The hardware may be able to detect the current DV timings
automatically, similar to sensing the video standard. To do so, applications
call <constant>VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS</constant> with a pointer to a
&v4l2-dv-timings;. Once the hardware detects the timings, it will fill in the
timings structure.
If the timings could not be detected because there was no signal, then
<errorcode>ENOLINK</errorcode> is returned. If a signal was detected, but
it was unstable and the receiver could not lock to the signal, then
<errorcode>ENOLCK</errorcode> is returned. If the receiver could lock to the signal,
but the format is unsupported (e.g. because the pixelclock is out of range
of the hardware capabilities), then the driver fills in whatever timings it
could find and returns <errorcode>ERANGE</errorcode>. In that case the application
can call &VIDIOC-DV-TIMINGS-CAP; to compare the found timings with the hardware's
capabilities in order to give more precise feedback to the user.
