SPDX-License-Identifier: GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later + +**************************** +Defining Colorspaces in V4L2 +**************************** + +In V4L2 colorspaces are defined by four values. The first is the +colorspace identifier (enum :c:type:`v4l2_colorspace`) +which defines the chromaticities, the default transfer function, the +default Y'CbCr encoding and the default quantization method. The second +is the transfer function identifier (enum +:c:type:`v4l2_xfer_func`) to specify non-standard +transfer functions. The third is the Y'CbCr encoding identifier (enum +:c:type:`v4l2_ycbcr_encoding`) to specify +non-standard Y'CbCr encodings and the fourth is the quantization +identifier (enum :c:type:`v4l2_quantization`) to +specify non-standard quantization methods. Most of the time only the +colorspace field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format` +or struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format_mplane` +needs to be filled in. + +.. _hsv-colorspace: + +On :ref:`HSV formats <hsv-formats>` the *Hue* is defined as the angle on +the cylindrical color representation. Usually this angle is measured in +degrees, i.e. 0-360. When we map this angle value into 8 bits, there are +two basic ways to do it: Divide the angular value by 2 (0-179), or use the +whole range, 0-255, dividing the angular value by 1.41. The enum +:c:type:`v4l2_hsv_encoding` specifies which encoding is used. + +.. note:: The default R'G'B' quantization is full range for all + colorspaces.
