.. _sliced:
*************************
Sliced VBI Data Interface
*************************
VBI stands for Vertical Blanking Interval, a gap in the sequence of
lines of an analog video signal. During VBI no picture information is
transmitted, allowing some time while the electron beam of a cathode ray
tube TV returns to the top of the screen.
Sliced VBI devices use hardware to demodulate data transmitted in the
VBI. V4L2 drivers shall *not* do this by software, see also the
:ref:`raw VBI interface <raw-vbi>`. The data is passed as short
packets of fixed size, covering one scan line each. The number of
packets per video frame is variable.
Sliced VBI capture and output devices are accessed through the same
character special files as raw VBI devices. When a driver supports both
interfaces, the default function of a ``/dev/vbi`` device is *raw* VBI
capturing or output, and the sliced VBI function is only available after
calling the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl as defined
below. Likewise a ``/dev/video`` device may support the sliced VBI API,
however the default function here is video capturing or output.
Different file descriptors must be used to pass raw and sliced VBI data
simultaneously, if this is supported by the driver.
Querying Capabilities
=====================
Devices supporting the sliced VBI capturing or output API set the
``V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE`` or ``V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT`` flag
respectively, in the ``capabilities`` field of struct
:c:type:`v4l2_capability` returned by the
:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. At least one of the
read/write, streaming or asynchronous :ref:`I/O methods <io>` must be
supported. Sliced VBI devices may have a tuner or modulator.
Supplemental Functions
======================
Sliced VBI devices shall support :ref:`video input or output <video>`
and :ref:`tuner or modulator <tuner>` ioctls if they have these
capabilities, and they may support :ref:`control` ioctls.
The :ref:`video standard <standard>` ioctls provide information vital
to program a sliced VBI device, therefore must be supported.
.. _sliced-vbi-format-negotitation:
Sliced VBI Format Negotiation
=============================
To find out which data services are supported by the hardware
applications can call the
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP <VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP>` ioctl.
All drivers implementing the sliced VBI interface must support this
ioctl. The results may differ from those of the
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl when the number of VBI
lines the hardware can capture or output per frame, or the number of
services it can identify on a given line are limited. For example on PAL
line 16 the hardware may be able to look for a VPS or Teletext signal,
but not both at the same time.
To determine the currently selected services applications set the
``type`` field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_format` to
``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE`` or
``V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT``, and the
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl fills the ``fmt.sliced``
member, a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_sliced_vbi_format`.
Applications can request different parameters by initializing or
modifying the ``fmt.sliced`` member and calling the
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl with a pointer to the
struct :c:type:`v4l2_format` structure.
The sliced VBI API is more complicated than the raw VBI API because the
hardware must be told which VBI service to expect on each scan line. Not
all services may be supported by the hardware on all lines (this is
especially true for VBI output where Teletext is often unsupported and
other services can only be inserted in one specific line). In many
cases, however, it is sufficient to just set the ``service_set`` field
to the required services and let the driver fill the ``service_lines``
array according to hardware capabilities. Only if more precise control
is needed should the programmer set the ``service_lines`` array
explicitly.
The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl modifies the parameters
according to hardware capabilities. When the driver allocates resources
at this point, it may return an ``EBUSY`` error code if the required
resources are temporarily unavailable. Other resource allocation points
which may return ``EBUSY`` can be the
:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` ioctl and the first
:ref:`read() <func-read>`, :ref:`write() <func-write>` and
:ref:`select() <func-select>` call.
.. c:type:: v4l2_sliced_vbi_format

:header-rows: 0
:stub-columns: 0
:widths: 3 3 2 2 2
- .. row 1
- __u32
- ``service_set``
- :cspan:`2`
If ``service_set`` is non-zero when passed with
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` or
:ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>`, the ``service_lines``
array will be filled by the driver according to the services
specified in this field. For example, if ``service_set`` is
initialized with ``V4L2_SLICED_TELETEXT_B | V4L2_SLICED_WSS_625``,
a driver for the cx25840 video decoder sets lines 7-22 of both
fields [#f1]_ to ``V4L2_SLICED_TELETEXT_B`` and line 23 of the first
field to ``V4L2_SLICED_WSS_625``. If ``service_set`` is set to
zero, then the values of ``service_lines`` will be used instead.
On return the driver sets this field to the union of all elements
of the returned ``service_lines`` array. It may contain less
services than requested, perhaps just one, if the hardware cannot
handle more services simultaneously. It may be empty (zero) if
none of the requested services are supported by the hardware.
- .. row 2
- __u16
- ``service_lines``\ [2][24]
- :cspan:`2`
Applications initialize this array with sets of data services the
driver shall look for or insert on the respective scan line.
Subject to hardware capabilities drivers return the requested set,
a subset, which may be just a single service, or an empty set.
When the hardware cannot handle multiple services on the same line
the driver shall choose one. No assumptions can be made on which
service the driver chooses.
Data services are defined in :ref:`vbi-services2`. Array indices
map to ITU-R line numbers\ [#f2]_ as follows:
- .. row 3
-
-
- Element
- 525 line systems
- 625 line systems
- .. row 4
-

- .. row 7
-
-
- ``service_lines``\ [1][23]
- 286
- 336
- .. row 8
-
-
- :cspan:`2` Drivers must set ``service_lines`` [0][0] and
``service_lines``\ [1][0] to zero. The
``V4L2_VBI_ITU_525_F1_START``, ``V4L2_VBI_ITU_525_F2_START``,
``V4L2_VBI_ITU_625_F1_START`` and ``V4L2_VBI_ITU_625_F2_START``
defines give the start line numbers for each field for each 525 or
625 line format as a convenience. Don't forget that ITU line
numbering starts at 1, not 0.
- .. row 9
- __u32
- ``io_size``
- :cspan:`2` Maximum number of bytes passed by one
:ref:`read() <func-read>` or :ref:`write() <func-write>` call,
and the buffer size in bytes for the
:ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF` and
:ref:`VIDIOC_DQBUF <VIDIOC_QBUF>` ioctl. Drivers set this field
to the size of struct
:c:type:`v4l2_sliced_vbi_data` times the
number of non-zero elements in the returned ``service_lines``
array (that is the number of lines potentially carrying data).
- .. row 10
- __u32
- ``reserved``\ [2]
- :cspan:`2` This array is reserved for future extensions.
Applications and drivers must set it to zero.

Drivers may return an ``EINVAL`` error code when applications attempt to
read or write data without prior format negotiation, after switching the
video standard (which may invalidate the negotiated VBI parameters) and
after switching the video input (which may change the video standard as
a side effect). The :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl may
return an ``EBUSY`` error code when applications attempt to change the
format while i/o is in progress (between a
:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMON` and
:ref:`VIDIOC_STREAMOFF <VIDIOC_STREAMON>` call, and after the first
:ref:`read() <func-read>` or :ref:`write() <func-write>` call).
Reading and writing sliced VBI data
===================================
A single :ref:`read() <func-read>` or :ref:`write() <func-write>`
call must pass all data belonging to one video frame. That is an array
of struct :c:type:`v4l2_sliced_vbi_data` structures with one or
more elements and a total size not exceeding ``io_size`` bytes. Likewise
in streaming I/O mode one buffer of ``io_size`` bytes must contain data
of one video frame. The ``id`` of unused
struct :c:type:`v4l2_sliced_vbi_data` elements must be zero.

- .. row 1
- __u32
- ``id``
- A flag from :ref:`vbi-services` identifying the type of data in
this packet. Only a single bit must be set. When the ``id`` of a
captured packet is zero, the packet is empty and the contents of
other fields are undefined. Applications shall ignore empty
packets. When the ``id`` of a packet for output is zero the
contents of the ``data`` field are undefined and the driver must
no longer insert data on the requested ``field`` and ``line``.
- .. row 2
- __u32
- ``field``
- The video field number this data has been captured from, or shall
be inserted at. ``0`` for the first field, ``1`` for the second
field.
- .. row 3
- __u32
- ``line``
- The field (as opposed to frame) line number this data has been
captured from, or shall be inserted at. See :ref:`vbi-525` and
:ref:`vbi-625` for valid values. Sliced VBI capture devices can
set the line number of all packets to ``0`` if the hardware cannot
reliably identify scan lines. The field number must always be
valid.
- .. row 4
- __u32
- ``reserved``
- This field is reserved for future extensions. Applications and
drivers must set it to zero.
- .. row 5
- __u8
- ``data``\ [48]
- The packet payload. See :ref:`vbi-services` for the contents and
number of bytes passed for each data type. The contents of padding
bytes at the end of this array are undefined, drivers and
applications shall ignore them.
Packets are always passed in ascending line number order, without
duplicate line numbers. The :ref:`write() <func-write>` function and
the :ref:`VIDIOC_QBUF` ioctl must return an ``EINVAL``
error code when applications violate this rule. They must also return an
EINVAL error code when applications pass an incorrect field or line
number, or a combination of ``field``, ``line`` and ``id`` which has not
been negotiated with the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` or
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FMT <VIDIOC_G_FMT>` ioctl. When the line numbers are
unknown the driver must pass the packets in transmitted order. The
driver can insert empty packets with ``id`` set to zero anywhere in the
packet array.
To assure synchronization and to distinguish from frame dropping, when a
captured frame does not carry any of the requested data services drivers
must pass one or more empty packets. When an application fails to pass
VBI data in time for output, the driver must output the last VPS and WSS
packet again, and disable the output of Closed Caption and Teletext
data, or output data which is ignored by Closed Caption and Teletext
decoders.
A sliced VBI device may support :ref:`read/write <rw>` and/or
streaming (:ref:`memory mapping <mmap>` and/or
:ref:`user pointer <userp>`) I/O. The latter bears the possibility of
synchronizing video and VBI data by using buffer timestamps.
Sliced VBI Data in MPEG Streams
===============================
If a device can produce an MPEG output stream, it may be capable of
providing
:ref:`negotiated sliced VBI services <sliced-vbi-format-negotitation>`
as data embedded in the MPEG stream. Users or applications control this
sliced VBI data insertion with the
:ref:`V4L2_CID_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`
control.
If the driver does not provide the
:ref:`V4L2_CID_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`
control, or only allows that control to be set to
:ref:`V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_NONE <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`,
then the device cannot embed sliced VBI data in the MPEG stream.
The
:ref:`V4L2_CID_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`
control does not implicitly set the device driver to capture nor cease
capturing sliced VBI data. The control only indicates to embed sliced
VBI data in the MPEG stream, if an application has negotiated sliced VBI
service be captured.
It may also be the case that a device can embed sliced VBI data in only
certain types of MPEG streams: for example in an MPEG-2 PS but not an
MPEG-2 TS. In this situation, if sliced VBI data insertion is requested,
the sliced VBI data will be embedded in MPEG stream types when
supported, and silently omitted from MPEG stream types where sliced VBI
data insertion is not supported by the device.
The following subsections specify the format of the embedded sliced VBI
data.
MPEG Stream Embedded, Sliced VBI Data Format: NONE
--------------------------------------------------
The
:ref:`V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_NONE <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`
embedded sliced VBI format shall be interpreted by drivers as a control
to cease embedding sliced VBI data in MPEG streams. Neither the device
nor driver shall insert "empty" embedded sliced VBI data packets in the
MPEG stream when this format is set. No MPEG stream data structures are
specified for this format.
MPEG Stream Embedded, Sliced VBI Data Format: IVTV
--------------------------------------------------
The
:ref:`V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`
embedded sliced VBI format, when supported, indicates to the driver to
embed up to 36 lines of sliced VBI data per frame in an MPEG-2 *Private
Stream 1 PES* packet encapsulated in an MPEG-2 *Program Pack* in the
MPEG stream.
*Historical context*: This format specification originates from a
custom, embedded, sliced VBI data format used by the ``ivtv`` driver.
This format has already been informally specified in the kernel sources
in the file ``Documentation/video4linux/cx2341x/README.vbi`` . The
maximum size of the payload and other aspects of this format are driven
by the CX23415 MPEG decoder's capabilities and limitations with respect
to extracting, decoding, and displaying sliced VBI data embedded within
an MPEG stream.
This format's use is *not* exclusive to the ``ivtv`` driver *nor*
exclusive to CX2341x devices, as the sliced VBI data packet insertion
into the MPEG stream is implemented in driver software. At least the
``cx18`` driver provides sliced VBI data insertion into an MPEG-2 PS in
this format as well.
The following definitions specify the payload of the MPEG-2 *Private
Stream 1 PES* packets that contain sliced VBI data when
:ref:`V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV <v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt>`
is set. (The MPEG-2 *Private Stream 1 PES* packet header and
encapsulating MPEG-2 *Program Pack* header are not detailed here. Please
refer to the MPEG-2 specifications for details on those packet headers.)
The payload of the MPEG-2 *Private Stream 1 PES* packets that contain
sliced VBI data is specified by struct
:c:type:`v4l2_mpeg_vbi_fmt_ivtv`. The
payload is variable length, depending on the actual number of lines of
sliced VBI data present in a video frame. The payload may be padded at
the end with unspecified fill bytes to align the end of the payload to a
4-byte boundary. The payload shall never exceed 1552 bytes (2 fields
with 18 lines/field with 43 bytes of data/line and a 4 byte magic
number).
