The devices feature an +analogue to digital converter and a bus transmitter to transmit the +image data out of the device. + + +.. _image-source-control-id: + +Image Source Control IDs +======================== + +``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_SOURCE_CLASS (class)`` + The IMAGE_SOURCE class descriptor. + +``V4L2_CID_VBLANK (integer)`` + Vertical blanking. The idle period after every frame during which no + image data is produced. The unit of vertical blanking is a line. + Every line has length of the image width plus horizontal blanking at + the pixel rate defined by ``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE`` control in the + same sub-device. + +``V4L2_CID_HBLANK (integer)`` + Horizontal blanking. The idle period after every line of image data + during which no image data is produced. The unit of horizontal + blanking is pixels. + +``V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN (integer)`` + Analogue gain is gain affecting all colour components in the pixel + matrix. The gain operation is performed in the analogue domain + before A/D conversion. + +``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_RED (integer)`` + Test pattern red colour component. + +``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_GREENR (integer)`` + Test pattern green (next to red) colour component. + +``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_BLUE (integer)`` + Test pattern blue colour component. + +``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN_GREENB (integer)`` + Test pattern green (next to blue) colour component. + +``V4L2_CID_UNIT_CELL_SIZE (struct)`` + This control returns the unit cell size in nanometers. The struct + :c:type:`v4l2_area` provides the width and the height in separate + fields to take into consideration asymmetric pixels. + This control does not take into consideration any possible hardware + binning. + The unit cell consists of the whole area of the pixel, sensitive and + non-sensitive. + This control is required for automatic calibration of sensors/cameras. + +.. c:type:: v4l2_area + +.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_area + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 2 + + * - __u32 + - ``width`` + - Width of the area. + * - __u32 + - ``height`` + - Height of the area. + +``V4L2_CID_NOTIFY_GAINS (integer array)`` + The sensor is notified what gains will be applied to the different + colour channels by subsequent processing (such as by an ISP). The + sensor is merely informed of these values in case it performs + processing that requires them, but it does not apply them itself to + the output pixels. + + Currently it is defined only for Bayer sensors, and is an array + control taking 4 gain values, being the gains for each of the + Bayer channels. The gains are always in the order B, Gb, Gr and R, + irrespective of the exact Bayer order of the sensor itself. + + The use of an array allows this control to be extended to sensors + with, for example, non-Bayer CFAs (colour filter arrays). + + The units for the gain values are linear, with the default value + representing a gain of exactly 1.0. For example, if this default value + is reported as being (say) 128, then a value of 192 would represent + a gain of exactly 1.5. |
