| 35 | ** DV1394 API ** |

| 37 | ******************** |
| 38 | |
| 39 | There are two methods of operating the DV1394 DV output device. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | 1) |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The simplest is an interface based on write(): simply write |
| 44 | full DV frames of data to the device, and they will be transmitted |
| 45 | as quickly as possible. The FD may be set for non-blocking I/O, |
| 46 | in which case you can use select() or poll() to wait for output |
| 47 | buffer space. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | To set the DV output parameters (e.g. whether you want NTSC or PAL |
| 50 | video), use the DV1394_INIT ioctl, passing in the parameters you |
| 51 | want in a struct dv1394_init. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Example 1: |
| 54 | To play a raw .DV file: cat foo.DV > /dev/dv1394 |
| 55 | (cat will use write() internally) |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Example 2: |
| 58 | static struct dv1394_init init = { |
| 59 | 0x63, (broadcast channel) |
| 60 | 4, (four-frame ringbuffer) |
| 61 | DV1394_NTSC, (send NTSC video) |
| 62 | 0, 0 (default empty packet rate) |
| 63 | } |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ioctl(fd, DV1394_INIT, &init); |
| 66 | |
| 67 | while (1) { |
| 68 | read( <a raw DV file>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE ); |
| 69 | write( <the dv1394 FD>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE ); |
| 70 | } |
| 71 | |
| 72 | 2) |
| 73 | |
| 74 | For more control over buffering, and to avoid unnecessary copies |
| 75 | of the DV data, you can use the more sophisticated the mmap() interface. |
| 76 | First, call the DV1394_INIT ioctl to specify your parameters, |
| 77 | including the number of frames in the ringbuffer. Then, calling mmap() |
| 78 | on the dv1394 device will give you direct access to the ringbuffer |
| 79 | from which the DV card reads your frame data. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | The ringbuffer is simply one large, contiguous region of memory |
| 82 | containing two or more frames of packed DV data. Each frame of DV data |
| 83 | is 120000 bytes (NTSC) or 144000 bytes (PAL). |
| 84 | |
| 85 | Fill one or more frames in the ringbuffer, then use the DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES |
| 86 | ioctl to begin I/O. You can use either the DV1394_WAIT_FRAMES ioctl |
| 87 | or select()/poll() to wait until the frames are transmitted. Next, you'll |
| 88 | need to call the DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl to determine which ringbuffer |
| 89 | frames are clear (ready to be filled with new DV data). Finally, use |
| 90 | DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES again to send the new data to the DV output. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Example: here is what a four-frame ringbuffer might look like |
| 94 | during DV transmission: |
| 95 | |
| 96 | |
| 97 | frame 0 frame 1 frame 2 frame 3 |
| 98 | |
| 99 | *--------------------------------------* |
| 100 | | CLEAR | DV data | DV data | CLEAR | |
| 101 | *--------------------------------------* |
| 102 | <ACTIVE> |
| 103 | |
| 104 | transmission goes in this direction --->>> |
| 105 | |
| 106 | |
| 107 | The DV hardware is currently transmitting the data in frame 1. |
| 108 | Once frame 1 is finished, it will automatically transmit frame 2. |
| 109 | (if frame 2 finishes before frame 3 is submitted, the device |
| 110 | will continue to transmit frame 2, and will increase the dropped_frames |
| 111 | counter each time it repeats the transmission). |
| 112 | |
| 113 | |
| 114 | If you called DV1394_GET_STATUS at this instant, you would |
| 115 | receive the following values: |
| 116 | |
| 117 | n_frames = 4 |
| 118 | active_frame = 1 |
| 119 | first_clear_frame = 3 |
| 120 | n_clear_frames = 2 |
| 121 | |
| 122 | At this point, you should write new DV data into frame 3 and optionally |
| 123 | frame 0. Then call DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES to inform the device that |
| 124 | it may transmit the new frames. |
| 125 | |
| 126 | ERROR HANDLING |
| 127 | |
| 128 | An error (buffer underflow/overflow or a break in the DV stream due |
| 129 | to a 1394 bus reset) can be detected by checking the dropped_frames |
| 130 | field of struct dv1394_status (obtained through the |
| 131 | DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl). |
| 132 | |
| 133 | The best way to recover from such an error is to re-initialize |
| 134 | dv1394, either by using the DV1394_INIT ioctl call, or closing the |
| 135 | file descriptor and opening it again. (note that you must unmap all |
| 136 | ringbuffer mappings when closing the file descriptor, or else |
| 137 | dv1394 will still be considered 'in use'). |
| 138 | |
| 139 | MAIN LOOP |
| 140 | |
| 141 | For maximum efficiency and robustness against bus errors, you are |
| 142 | advised to model the main loop of your application after the |
| 143 | following pseudo-code example: |
| 144 | |
| 145 | (checks of system call return values omitted for brevity; always |
| 146 | check return values in your code!) |
| 147 | |
| 148 | while ( frames left ) { |
| 149 | |
| 150 | struct pollfd *pfd = ...; |
| 151 | |
| 152 | pfd->fd = dv1394_fd; |
| 153 | pfd->revents = 0; |
| 154 | pfd->events = POLLOUT | POLLIN; (OUT for transmit, IN for receive) |
| 155 | |
| 156 | (add other sources of I/O here) |
| 157 | |
| 158 | poll(pfd, 1, -1); (or select(); add a timeout if you want) |
| 159 | |
| 160 | if (pfd->revents) { |
| 161 | struct dv1394_status status; |
| 162 | |
| 163 | ioctl(dv1394_fd, DV1394_GET_STATUS, &status); |
| 164 | |
| 165 | if (status.dropped_frames > 0) { |
| 166 | reset_dv1394(); |
| 167 | } else { |
| 168 | for (int i = 0; i < status.n_clear_frames; i++) { |
| 169 | copy_DV_frame(); |
| 170 | } |
| 171 | } |
| 172 | } |
| 173 | } |
| 174 | |
| 175 | where copy_DV_frame() reads or writes on the dv1394 file descriptor |
| 176 | (read/write mode) or copies data to/from the mmap ringbuffer and |
| 177 | then calls ioctl(DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES) to notify dv1394 that new |
| 178 | frames are availble (mmap mode). |
| 179 | |
| 180 | reset_dv1394() is called in the event of a buffer |
| 181 | underflow/overflow or a halt in the DV stream (e.g. due to a 1394 |
| 182 | bus reset). To guarantee recovery from the error, this function |
| 183 | should close the dv1394 file descriptor (and munmap() all |
| 184 | ringbuffer mappings, if you are using them), then re-open the |
| 185 | dv1394 device (and re-map the ringbuffer). |

| 249 | |
| 250 | /* |
| 251 | A: DV video streams do not utilize 100% of the potential bandwidth offered |
| 252 | by IEEE 1394 (FireWire). To achieve the correct rate of data transmission, |
| 253 | DV devices must periodically insert empty packets into the 1394 data stream. |
| 254 | Typically there is one empty packet per 14-16 data-carrying packets. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | Some DV devices will accept a wide range of empty packet rates, while others |
| 257 | require a precise rate. If the dv1394 driver produces empty packets at |
| 258 | a rate that your device does not accept, you may see ugly patterns on the |
| 259 | DV output, or even no output at all. |
| 260 | |
| 261 | The default empty packet insertion rate seems to work for many people; if |
| 262 | your DV output is stable, you can simply ignore this discussion. However, |
| 263 | we have exposed the empty packet rate as a parameter to support devices that |
| 264 | do not work with the default rate. |
| 265 | |
| 266 | The decision to insert an empty packet is made with a numerator/denominator |
| 267 | algorithm. Empty packets are produced at an average rate of CIP_N / CIP_D. |
| 268 | You can alter the empty packet rate by passing non-zero values for cip_n |
| 269 | and cip_d to the INIT ioctl. |
