That data includes +exact copies of the standard part of UVC Payload Header contents and auxiliary +timing information, required for precise interpretation of timestamps, contained +in those headers. See section "2.4.3.3 Video and Still Image Payload Headers" of +the "UVC 1.5 Class specification" for details. + +Each UVC payload header can be between 2 and 12 bytes large. Buffers can +contain multiple headers, if multiple such headers have been transmitted by the +camera for the respective frame. However, the driver may drop headers when the +buffer is full, when they contain no useful information (e.g. those without the +SCR field or with that field identical to the previous header), or generally to +perform rate limiting when the device sends a large number of headers. + +Each individual block contains the following fields: + +.. flat-table:: UVC Metadata Block + :widths: 1 4 + :header-rows: 1 + :stub-columns: 0 + + * - Field + - Description + * - __u64 ts; + - system timestamp in host byte order, measured by the driver upon + reception of the payload + * - __u16 sof; + - USB Frame Number in host byte order, also obtained by the driver as + close as possible to the above timestamp to enable correlation between + them + * - :cspan:`1` *The rest is an exact copy of the UVC payload header:* + * - __u8 length; + - length of the rest of the block, including this field + * - __u8 flags; + - Flags, indicating presence of other standard UVC fields + * - __u8 buf[]; + - The rest of the header, possibly including UVC PTS and SCR fields -- cgit v1.2.3
