SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +The cx2341x driver +================== + +Non-compressed file format +-------------------------- + +The cx23416 can produce (and the cx23415 can also read) raw YUV output. The +format of a YUV frame is specific to this chip and is called HM12. 'HM' stands +for 'Hauppauge Macroblock', which is a misnomer as 'Conexant Macroblock' would +be more accurate. + +The format is YUV 4:2:0 which uses 1 Y byte per pixel and 1 U and V byte per +four pixels. + +The data is encoded as two macroblock planes, the first containing the Y +values, the second containing UV macroblocks. + +The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels from left to right +and from top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + +So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block, the +second 16 bytes are the second line of the top-left block, etc. After +transmitting this block the first line of the block on the right to the +first block is transmitted, etc. + +The UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x8 UV values going from left +to right, top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + +So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block and +contain 8 UV value pairs (16 bytes in total). The second 16 bytes are the +second line of 8 UV pairs of the top-left block, etc. After transmitting +this block the first line of the block on the right to the first block is +transmitted, etc. + +The code below is given as an example on how to convert HM12 to separate +Y, U and V planes. This code assumes frames of 720x576 (PAL) pixels. + +The width of a frame is always 720 pixels, regardless of the actual specified +width. + +If the height is not a multiple of 32 lines, then the captured video is +missing macroblocks at the end and is unusable. So the height must be a +multiple of 32. + +Raw format c example +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +.. code-block:: c + + #include <stdio.h> + #include <stdlib.h> + #include <string.h> + + static unsigned char frame[576*720*3/2]; + static unsigned char framey[576*720]; + static unsigned char frameu[576*720 / 4]; + static unsigned char framev[576*720 / 4]; + + static void de_macro_y(unsigned char* dst, unsigned char *src, int dstride, int w, int h) + { + unsigned int y, x, i; + + // descramble Y plane + // dstride = 720 = w + // The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels + // Each block in transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + for (y = 0; y < h; y += 16) { + for (x = 0; x < w; x += 16) { + for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) { + memcpy(dst + x + (y + i) * dstride, src, 16); + src += 16; + } + } + } + } + + static void de_macro_uv(unsigned char *dstu, unsigned char *dstv, unsigned char *src, int dstride, int w, int h) + { + unsigned int y, x, i; + + // descramble U/V plane + // dstride = 720 / 2 = w + // The U/V values are interlaced (UVUV...). + // Again, the UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 UV values. + // Each block in transmitted in turn, line-by-line. + for (y = 0; y < h; y += 16) { + for (x = 0; x < w; x += 8) { + for (i = 0; i < 16; i++) { + int idx = x + (y + i) * dstride; + + dstu[idx+0] = src[0]; dstv[idx+0] = src[1]; + dstu[idx+1] = src[2]; dstv[idx+1] = src[3]; + dstu[idx+2] = src[4]; dstv[idx+2] = src[5]; + dstu[idx+3] = src[6]; dstv[idx+3] = src[7]; + dstu[idx+4] = src[8]; dstv[idx+4] = src[9]; + dstu[idx+5] = src[10]; dstv[idx+5] = src[11]; + dstu[idx+6] = src[12]; dstv[idx+6] = src[13]; + dstu[idx+7] = src[14]; dstv[idx+7] = src[15]; + src += 16; + } + } + } + } + + /*************************************************************************/ + int main(int argc, char **argv) + { + FILE *fin; + int i; + + if (argc == 1) fin = stdin; + else fin = fopen(argv[1], "r"); + + if (fin == NULL) { + fprintf(stderr, "cannot open input\n"); + exit(-1); + } + while (fread(frame, sizeof(frame), 1, fin) == 1) { + de_macro_y(framey, frame, 720, 720, 576); + de_macro_uv(frameu, framev, frame + 720 * 576, 720 / 2, 720 / 2, 576 / 2); + fwrite(framey, sizeof(framey), 1, stdout); + fwrite(framev, sizeof(framev), 1, stdout); + fwrite(frameu, sizeof(frameu), 1, stdout); + } + fclose(fin); + return 0; + } + + +Format of embedded V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data +--------------------------------------------------------- + +Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> + + +This section describes the V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV format of the VBI data +embedded in an MPEG-2 program stream. This format is in part dictated by some +hardware limitations of the ivtv driver (the driver for the Conexant cx23415/6 +chips), in particular a maximum size for the VBI data. Anything longer is cut +off when the MPEG stream is played back through the cx23415. + +The advantage of this format is it is very compact and that all VBI data for +all lines can be stored while still fitting within the maximum allowed size. + +The stream ID of the VBI data is 0xBD. The maximum size of the embedded data is +4 + 43 * 36, which is 4 bytes for a header and 2 * 18 VBI lines with a 1 byte +header and a 42 bytes payload each. Anything beyond this limit is cut off by +the cx23415/6 firmware. Besides the data for the VBI lines we also need 36 bits +for a bitmask determining which lines are captured and 4 bytes for a magic cookie, +signifying that this data package contains V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data. +If all lines are used, then there is no longer room for the bitmask. To solve this +two different magic numbers were introduced: + +'itv0': After this magic number two unsigned longs follow. Bits 0-17 of the first +unsigned long denote which lines of the first field are captured. Bits 18-31 of +the first unsigned long and bits 0-3 of the second unsigned long are used for the +second field. + +'ITV0': This magic number assumes all VBI lines are captured, i.e. it implicitly +implies that the bitmasks are 0xffffffff and 0xf. + +After these magic cookies (and the 8 byte bitmask in case of cookie 'itv0') the +captured VBI lines start: + +For each line the least significant 4 bits of the first byte contain the data type. +Possible values are shown in the table below. The payload is in the following 42 +bytes. + +Here is the list of possible data types: + +.. code-block:: c + + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_TELETEXT 0x1 // Teletext (uses lines 6-22 for PAL) + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_CC 0x4 // Closed Captions (line 21 NTSC) + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_WSS 0x5 // Wide Screen Signal (line 23 PAL) + #define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_VPS 0x7 // Video Programming System (PAL) (line 16) + |
