Codec Control Reference

Below all controls within the Codec control class are described. First
the generic controls, then controls specific for certain hardware.

.. note::

   These controls are applicable to all codecs and not just MPEG. The
   defines are prefixed with V4L2_CID_MPEG/V4L2_MPEG as the controls
   were originally made for MPEG codecs and later extended to cover all
   encoding formats.


Generic Codec Controls

.. _mpeg-control-id:

Codec Control IDs
-----------------

``V4L2_CID_CODEC_CLASS (class)``
    The Codec class descriptor. Calling
    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
    return a description of this control class. This description can be
    used as the caption of a Tab page in a GUI, for example.

    here. Each hardware MPEG encoder tends to support different subsets
    of the available MPEG stream types. This control is specific to
    multiplexed MPEG streams. The currently defined stream types are:

MFC 5.1 MPEG Controls
=====================

The following MPEG class controls deal with MPEG decoding and encoding
settings that are specific to the Multi Format Codec 5.1 device present
in the S5P family of SoCs by Samsung.


.. _mfc51-control-id:

MFC 5.1 Control IDs
-------------------

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_DECODER_H264_DISPLAY_DELAY_ENABLE (boolean)``
    If the display delay is enabled then the decoder is forced to return
    a CAPTURE buffer (decoded frame) after processing a certain number
    of OUTPUT buffers. The delay can be set through
    ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_DECODER_H264_DISPLAY_DELAY``. This
    feature can be used for example for generating thumbnails of videos.
    Applicable to the H264 decoder.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_DECODER_H264_DISPLAY_DELAY (integer)``
    Display delay value for H264 decoder. The decoder is forced to
    return a decoded frame after the set 'display delay' number of
    frames. If this number is low it may result in frames returned out
    of display order, in addition the hardware may still be using the
    returned buffer as a reference picture for subsequent frames.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_H264_NUM_REF_PIC_FOR_P (integer)``
    The number of reference pictures used for encoding a P picture.
    Applicable to the H264 encoder.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_PADDING (boolean)``
    Padding enable in the encoder - use a color instead of repeating
    border pixels. Applicable to encoders.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_PADDING_YUV (integer)``
    Padding color in the encoder. Applicable to encoders. The supplied
    32-bit integer is interpreted as follows (bit 0 = least significant
    bit):



.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - Bit 0:7
      - V chrominance information
    * - Bit 8:15
      - U chrominance information
    * - Bit 16:23
      - Y luminance information
    * - Bit 24:31
      - Must be zero.



``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_RC_REACTION_COEFF (integer)``
    Reaction coefficient for MFC rate control. Applicable to encoders.

    .. note::

       #. Valid only when the frame level RC is enabled.

       #. For tight CBR, this field must be small (ex. 2 ~ 10). For
	  VBR, this field must be large (ex. 100 ~ 1000).

       #. It is not recommended to use the greater number than
	  FRAME_RATE * (10^9 / BIT_RATE).

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_H264_ADAPTIVE_RC_DARK (boolean)``
    Adaptive rate control for dark region. Valid only when H.264 and
    macroblock level RC is enabled
    (``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MB_RC_ENABLE``). Applicable to the H264
    encoder.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_H264_ADAPTIVE_RC_SMOOTH (boolean)``
    Adaptive rate control for smooth region. Valid only when H.264 and
    macroblock level RC is enabled
    (``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MB_RC_ENABLE``). Applicable to the H264
    encoder.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_H264_ADAPTIVE_RC_STATIC (boolean)``
    Adaptive rate control for static region. Valid only when H.264 and
    macroblock level RC is enabled
    (``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MB_RC_ENABLE``). Applicable to the H264
    encoder.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_H264_ADAPTIVE_RC_ACTIVITY (boolean)``
    Adaptive rate control for activity region. Valid only when H.264 and
    macroblock level RC is enabled
    (``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MB_RC_ENABLE``). Applicable to the H264
    encoder.

.. _v4l2-mpeg-mfc51-video-frame-skip-mode:

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_FRAME_SKIP_MODE``
    (enum)

    .. note::

       This control is deprecated. Use the standard
       ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_FRAME_SKIP_MODE`` control instead.

enum v4l2_mpeg_mfc51_video_frame_skip_mode -
    Indicates in what conditions the encoder should skip frames. If
    encoding a frame would cause the encoded stream to be larger then a
    chosen data limit then the frame will be skipped. Possible values
    are:


.. tabularcolumns:: |p{9.2cm}|p{8.3cm}|

.. raw:: latex

    \small

.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_MPEG_MFC51_FRAME_SKIP_MODE_DISABLED``
      - Frame skip mode is disabled.
    * - ``V4L2_MPEG_MFC51_FRAME_SKIP_MODE_LEVEL_LIMIT``
      - Frame skip mode enabled and buffer limit is set by the chosen
	level and is defined by the standard.
    * - ``V4L2_MPEG_MFC51_FRAME_SKIP_MODE_BUF_LIMIT``
      - Frame skip mode enabled and buffer limit is set by the VBV
	(MPEG1/2/4) or CPB (H264) buffer size control.

.. raw:: latex

    \normalsize

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_RC_FIXED_TARGET_BIT (integer)``
    Enable rate-control with fixed target bit. If this setting is
    enabled, then the rate control logic of the encoder will calculate
    the average bitrate for a GOP and keep it below or equal the set
    bitrate target. Otherwise the rate control logic calculates the
    overall average bitrate for the stream and keeps it below or equal
    to the set bitrate. In the first case the average bitrate for the
    whole stream will be smaller then the set bitrate. This is caused
    because the average is calculated for smaller number of frames, on
    the other hand enabling this setting will ensure that the stream
    will meet tight bandwidth constraints. Applicable to encoders.

.. _v4l2-mpeg-mfc51-video-force-frame-type:

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE``
    (enum)

enum v4l2_mpeg_mfc51_video_force_frame_type -
    Force a frame type for the next queued buffer. Applicable to
    encoders. Possible values are:

.. tabularcolumns:: |p{9.5cm}|p{8.0cm}|

.. flat-table::
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - ``V4L2_MPEG_MFC51_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE_DISABLED``
      - Forcing a specific frame type disabled.
    * - ``V4L2_MPEG_MFC51_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE_I_FRAME``
      - Force an I-frame.
    * - ``V4L2_MPEG_MFC51_FORCE_FRAME_TYPE_NOT_CODED``
      - Force a non-coded frame.

``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_START_CODE (enum)``
    Specifies the HEVC slice start code expected for each slice.
    This control is used as a modifier for V4L2_PIX_FMT_HEVC_SLICE
