SPDX-License-Identifier: GFDL-1.1-no-invariants-or-later + +.. _image-process-controls: + +******************************* +Image Process Control Reference +******************************* + +The Image Process control class is intended for low-level control of +image processing functions. Unlike ``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_SOURCE_CLASS``, the +controls in this class affect processing the image, and do not control +capturing of it. + + +.. _image-process-control-id: + +Image Process Control IDs +========================= + +``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_PROC_CLASS (class)`` + The IMAGE_PROC class descriptor. + +``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ (integer menu)`` + Data bus frequency. Together with the media bus pixel code, bus type + (clock cycles per sample), the data bus frequency defines the pixel + rate (``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE``) in the pixel array (or possibly + elsewhere, if the device is not an image sensor). The frame rate can + be calculated from the pixel clock, image width and height and + horizontal and vertical blanking. While the pixel rate control may + be defined elsewhere than in the subdev containing the pixel array, + the frame rate cannot be obtained from that information. This is + because only on the pixel array it can be assumed that the vertical + and horizontal blanking information is exact: no other blanking is + allowed in the pixel array. The selection of frame rate is performed + by selecting the desired horizontal and vertical blanking. The unit + of this control is Hz. + +``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE (64-bit integer)`` + Pixel rate in the source pads of the subdev. This control is + read-only and its unit is pixels / second. + +``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN (menu)`` + Some capture/display/sensor devices have the capability to generate + test pattern images. These hardware specific test patterns can be + used to test if a device is working properly. + +``V4L2_CID_DEINTERLACING_MODE (menu)`` + The video deinterlacing mode (such as Bob, Weave, ...). The menu items are + driver specific and are documented in :ref:`uapi-v4l-drivers`. + +``V4L2_CID_DIGITAL_GAIN (integer)`` + Digital gain is the value by which all colour components + are multiplied by. Typically the digital gain applied is the + control value divided by e.g. 0x100, meaning that to get no + digital gain the control value needs to be 0x100. The no-gain + configuration is also typically the default. |
