2015-06-06[media] vivid: move video loopback control to the capture deviceHans Verkuil
This has been on my TODO list for some time now: the control that enables the video loopback was part of the controls of the video output device instead of the video capture device. In practice this was quite annoying since you expect it at the capture side since that's where you want to make the decision whether to use the TPG or looped video. This patch moves the control from the output to the capture side. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-06-05[media] vivid.txt: update the vivid documentationHans Verkuil
Document the new Transfer Function control (and fix the documentation for the other colorspace controls which were not quite correct). Mention the support for 4:2:0 and more multiplanar formats. Update the TODO list at the end. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-04-02[media] vivid: do not allow video loopback for SEQ_TB/BTHans Verkuil
Sequential top-bottom/bottom-top fields are not supported as video loopback. This is too much work to implement for field settings that are rarely used. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2014-12-17[media] vivid.txt: document new controlsHans Verkuil
Document the new 'Y'CbCr Encoding' and 'Quantization' controls. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2014-11-03[media] vivid: default to single planar device instancesHans Verkuil
The default used to be that the first vivid device instance was single planar, the second multi planar, the third single planar, etc. However, that turned out to be unexpected and awkward. Change the driver to always default to single planar. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2014-09-21[media] vivid: add teletext support to VBI captureHans Verkuil
This is useful to test teletext capture applications like alevt and mtt. It also fixes a previously undetected bug where the PAL VBI start line of the second field was off by one. Using the new field start defines helps a lot fixing such bugs. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2014-09-02[media] vivid.txt: add documentation for the vivid driverHans Verkuil
The vivid Virtual Video Test Driver helps testing V4L2 applications and can emulate V4L2 hardware. Add the documentation for this driver. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@samsung.com>
