51 <para>To set custom DV timings for the input or output, applications use the
52<constant>VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS</constant> ioctl and to get the current custom timings,
53applications use the <constant>VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS</constant> ioctl. The detailed timing
54information is filled in using the structure &v4l2-dv-timings;. These ioctls take
55a pointer to the &v4l2-dv-timings; structure as argument. If the ioctl is not supported
56or the timing values are not correct, the driver returns &EINVAL;.</para>

102bit 0 (V4L2_DV_VSYNC_POS_POL) is for vertical sync polarity and bit 1 (V4L2_DV_HSYNC_POS_POL) is for horizontal sync polarity. If the bit is set
103(1) it is positive polarity and if is cleared (0), it is negative polarity.</entry>
