+<H3>Devices</H3>
+Video4Linux provides the following sets of device files. These live on the
+character device formerly known as "/dev/bttv". /dev/bttv should be a
+symlink to /dev/video0 for most people.
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TH>Device Name</TH><TH>Minor Range</TH><TH>Function</TH>
+<TR><TD>/dev/video</TD><TD>0-63</TD><TD>Video Capture Interface</TD>
+<TR><TD>/dev/radio</TD><TD>64-127</TD><TD>AM/FM Radio Devices</TD>

+<TR><TD>/dev/vbi</TD><TD>224-239</TD><TD>Raw VBI Data (Intercast/teletext)</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+Video4Linux programs open and scan the devices to find what they are looking
+for. Capability queries define what each interface supports. The
+described API is only defined for video capture cards. The relevant subset
+applies to radio cards. Teletext interfaces talk the existing VTX API.
+<P>
+<H3>Capability Query Ioctl</H3>
+The <B>VIDIOCGCAP</B> ioctl call is used to obtain the capability
+information for a video device. The <b>struct video_capability</b> object
+passed to the ioctl is completed and returned. It contains the following
+information
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>name[32]</b><TD>Canonical name for this interface</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>type</b><TD>Type of interface</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>channels</b><TD>Number of radio/tv channels if appropriate</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>audios</b><TD>Number of audio devices if appropriate</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>maxwidth</b><TD>Maximum capture width in pixels</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>maxheight</b><TD>Maximum capture height in pixels</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>minwidth</b><TD>Minimum capture width in pixels</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>minheight</b><TD>Minimum capture height in pixels</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+The type field lists the capability flags for the device. These are
+as follows
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TH>Name</TH><TH>Description</TH>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_CAPTURE</b><TD>Can capture to memory</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_TUNER</b><TD>Has a tuner of some form</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_TELETEXT</b><TD>Has teletext capability</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_OVERLAY</b><TD>Can overlay its image onto the frame buffer</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_CHROMAKEY</b><TD>Overlay is Chromakeyed</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_CLIPPING</b><TD>Overlay clipping is supported</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_FRAMERAM</b><TD>Overlay overwrites frame buffer memory</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_SCALES</b><TD>The hardware supports image scaling</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_MONOCHROME</b><TD>Image capture is grey scale only</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VID_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE</b><TD>Capture can be of only part of the image</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+The minimum and maximum sizes listed for a capture device do not imply all
+that all height/width ratios or sizes within the range are possible. A
+request to set a size will be honoured by the largest available capture
+size whose capture is no large than the requested rectangle in either
+direction. For example the quickcam has 3 fixed settings.
+<P>
+<H3>Frame Buffer</H3>
+Capture cards that drop data directly onto the frame buffer must be told the
+base address of the frame buffer, its size and organisation. This is a
+privileged ioctl and one that eventually X itself should set.
+<P>
+The <b>VIDIOCSFBUF</b> ioctl sets the frame buffer parameters for a capture
+card. If the card does not do direct writes to the frame buffer then this
+ioctl will be unsupported. The <b>VIDIOCGFBUF</b> ioctl returns the
+currently used parameters. The structure used in both cases is a
+<b>struct video_buffer</b>.
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>void *base</b></TD><TD>Base physical address of the buffer</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>int height</b></TD><TD>Height of the frame buffer</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>int width</b></TD><TD>Width of the frame buffer</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>int depth</b></TD><TD>Depth of the frame buffer</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>int bytesperline</b></TD><TD>Number of bytes of memory between the start of two adjacent lines</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+Note that these values reflect the physical layout of the frame buffer.
+The visible area may be smaller. In fact under XFree86 this is commonly the
+case. XFree86 DGA can provide the parameters required to set up this ioctl.
+Setting the base address to NULL indicates there is no physical frame buffer
+access.
+<P>
+<H3>Capture Windows</H3>
+The capture area is described by a <b>struct video_window</b>. This defines
+a capture area and the clipping information if relevant. The
+<b>VIDIOCGWIN</b> ioctl recovers the current settings and the
+<b>VIDIOCSWIN</b> sets new values. A successful call to <b>VIDIOCSWIN</b>
+indicates that a suitable set of parameters have been chosen. They do not
+indicate that exactly what was requested was granted. The program should
+call <b>VIDIOCGWIN</b> to check if the nearest match was suitable. The
+<b>struct video_window</b> contains the following fields.
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>x</b><TD>The X co-ordinate specified in X windows format.</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>y</b><TD>The Y co-ordinate specified in X windows format.</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>width</b><TD>The width of the image capture.</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>height</b><TD>The height of the image capture.</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>chromakey</b><TD>A host order RGB32 value for the chroma key.</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>flags</b><TD>Additional capture flags.</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>clips</b><TD>A list of clipping rectangles. <em>(Set only)</em></TD>
+<TR><TD><b>clipcount</b><TD>The number of clipping rectangles. <em>(Set only)</em></TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+Clipping rectangles are passed as an array. Each clip consists of the following
+fields available to the user.
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>x</b></TD><TD>X co-ordinate of rectangle to skip</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>y</b></TD><TD>Y co-ordinate of rectangle to skip</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>width</b></TD><TD>Width of rectangle to skip</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>height</b></TD><TD>Height of rectangle to skip</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+Merely setting the window does not enable capturing. Overlay capturing
+(i.e. PCI-PCI transfer to the frame buffer of the video card)
+is activated by passing the <b>VIDIOCCAPTURE</b> ioctl a value of 1, and
+disabled by passing it a value of 0.
+<P>
+Some capture devices can capture a subfield of the image they actually see.
+This is indicated when VIDEO_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE is defined.
+The video_capture describes the time and special subfields to capture.
+The video_capture structure contains the following fields.
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>x</b></TD><TD>X co-ordinate of source rectangle to grab</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>y</b></TD><TD>Y co-ordinate of source rectangle to grab</TD>

+</TABLE>
+<P>
+<H3>Video Sources</H3>
+Each video4linux video or audio device captures from one or more
+source <b>channels</b>. Each channel can be queries with the
+<b>VDIOCGCHAN</b> ioctl call. Before invoking this function the caller
+must set the channel field to the channel that is being queried. On return
+the <b>struct video_channel</b> is filled in with information about the
+nature of the channel itself.
+<P>
+The <b>VIDIOCSCHAN</b> ioctl takes an integer argument and switches the
+capture to this input. It is not defined whether parameters such as colour
+settings or tuning are maintained across a channel switch. The caller should
+maintain settings as desired for each channel. (This is reasonable as
+different video inputs may have different properties).
+<P>
+The <b>struct video_channel</b> consists of the following
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>channel</b></TD><TD>The channel number</TD>

+</TABLE>
+<P>
+<H3>Image Properties</H3>
+The image properties of the picture can be queried with the <b>VIDIOCGPICT</b>
+ioctl which fills in a <b>struct video_picture</b>. The <b>VIDIOCSPICT</b>
+ioctl allows values to be changed. All values except for the palette type
+are scaled between 0-65535.
+<P>
+The <b>struct video_picture</b> consists of the following fields

+<P>
+<H3>Tuning</H3>
+Each video input channel can have one or more tuners associated with it. Many
+devices will not have tuners. TV cards and radio cards will have one or more
+tuners attached.
+<P>
+Tuners are described by a <b>struct video_tuner</b> which can be obtained by
+the <b>VIDIOCGTUNER</b> ioctl. Fill in the tuner number in the structure
+then pass the structure to the ioctl to have the data filled in. The
+tuner can be switched using <b>VIDIOCSTUNER</b> which takes an integer argument
+giving the tuner to use. A struct tuner has the following fields
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>tuner</b><TD>Number of the tuner</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>name</b><TD>Canonical name for this tuner (eg FM/AM/TV)</TD>

+<TR><TD><b>VIDEO_TUNER_MBS_ON</b><TD>The tuner is seeing a MBS datastream</TD>

+<P>
+The following modes are defined
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>VIDEO_MODE_PAL</b><TD>The tuner is in PAL mode</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>VIDEO_MODE_NTSC</b><TD>The tuner is in NTSC mode</TD>

+<TR><TD><b>VIDEO_MODE_AUTO</b><TD>The tuner auto switches, or mode does not apply</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+Tuning frequencies are an unsigned 32bit value in 1/16th MHz or if the
+<b>VIDEO_TUNER_LOW</b> flag is set they are in 1/16th KHz. The current

+set by the <b>VIDIOCSFREQ</b> ioctl.
+<P>
+<H3>Audio</H3>
+TV and Radio devices have one or more audio inputs that may be selected.
+The audio properties are queried by passing a <b>struct video_audio</b> to <b>VIDIOCGAUDIO</b> ioctl. The
+<b>VIDIOCSAUDIO</b> ioctl sets audio properties.
+<P>

+<TR><TD><b>VIDEO_SOUND_LANG2</b><TD>European TV alternate language 2</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+<H3>Reading Images</H3>
+Each call to the <b>read</b> syscall returns the next available image
+from the device. It is up to the caller to set format and size (using
+the VIDIOCSPICT and VIDIOCSWIN ioctls) and then to pass a suitable
+size buffer and length to the function. Not all devices will support
+read operations.
+<P>
+A second way to handle image capture is via the mmap interface if supported.
+To use the mmap interface a user first sets the desired image size and depth
+properties. Next the VIDIOCGMBUF ioctl is issued. This reports the size
+of buffer to mmap and the offset within the buffer for each frame. The
+number of frames supported is device dependent and may only be one.
+<P>
+The video_mbuf structure contains the following fields
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>size</b><TD>The number of bytes to map</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>frames</b><TD>The number of frames</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>offsets</b><TD>The offset of each frame</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+Once the mmap has been made the VIDIOCMCAPTURE ioctl starts the
+capture to a frame using the format and image size specified in the
+video_mmap (which should match or be below the initial query size).
+When the VIDIOCMCAPTURE ioctl returns the frame is <em>not</em>
+captured yet, the driver just instructed the hardware to start the
+capture. The application has to use the VIDIOCSYNC ioctl to wait
+until the capture of a frame is finished. VIDIOCSYNC takes the frame
+number you want to wait for as argument.
+<p>
+It is allowed to call VIDIOCMCAPTURE multiple times (with different
+frame numbers in video_mmap->frame of course) and thus have multiple
+outstanding capture requests. A simple way do to double-buffering
+using this feature looks like this:
+<pre>
+/* setup everything */
+VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0)
+while (whatever) {
+ VIDIOCMCAPTURE(1)
+ VIDIOCSYNC(0)
+ /* process frame 0 while the hardware captures frame 1 */
+ VIDIOCMCAPTURE(0)
+ VIDIOCSYNC(1)
+ /* process frame 1 while the hardware captures frame 0 */
+}
+</pre>
+Note that you are <em>not</em> limited to only two frames. The API
+allows up to 32 frames, the VIDIOCGMBUF ioctl returns the number of
+frames the driver granted. Thus it is possible to build deeper queues
+to avoid loosing frames on load peaks.
+<p>
+While capturing to memory the driver will make a "best effort" attempt
+to capture to screen as well if requested. This normally means all
+frames that "miss" memory mapped capture will go to the display.
+<P>
+A final ioctl exists to allow a device to obtain related devices if a
+driver has multiple components (for example video0 may not be associated
+with vbi0 which would cause an intercast display program to make a bad
+mistake). The VIDIOCGUNIT ioctl reports the unit numbers of the associated
+devices if any exist. The video_unit structure has the following fields.
+<P>
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD><b>video</b><TD>Video capture device</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>vbi</b><TD>VBI capture device</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>radio</b><TD>Radio device</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>audio</b><TD>Audio mixer</TD>
+<TR><TD><b>teletext</b><TD>Teletext device</TD>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+<H3>RDS Datastreams</H3>
+For radio devices that support it, it is possible to receive Radio Data
+System (RDS) data by means of a read() on the device. The data is packed in
+groups of three, as follows:
+<TABLE>
+<TR><TD>First Octet</TD><TD>Least Significant Byte of RDS Block</TD></TR>
+<TR><TD>Second Octet</TD><TD>Most Significant Byte of RDS Block
+<TR><TD>Third Octet</TD><TD>Bit 7:</TD><TD>Error bit. Indicates that
+an uncorrectable error occurred during reception of this block.</TD></TR>
+<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Bit 6:</TD><TD>Corrected bit. Indicates that
+an error was corrected for this data block.</TD></TR>
+<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Bits 5-3:</TD><TD>Received Offset. Indicates the
+offset received by the sync system.</TD></TR>
+<TR><TD>&nbsp;</TD><TD>Bits 2-0:</TD><TD>Offset Name. Indicates the
+offset applied to this data.</TD></TR>

+c-qcam - Connectix Color QuickCam video4linux kernel driver
+
+Copyright (C) 1999 Dave Forrest <drf5n@virginia.edu>
+ released under GNU GPL.
+
+1999-12-08 Dave Forrest, written with kernel version 2.2.12 in mind
+
+
+Table of Contents
+
+1.0 Introduction
+2.0 Compilation, Installation, and Configuration
+3.0 Troubleshooting
+4.0 Future Work / current work arounds
+9.0 Sample Program, v4lgrab
+10.0 Other Information
+
+
+1.0 Introduction
+
+ The file ../drivers/char/c-qcam.c is a device driver for the
+Logitech (nee Connectix) parallel port interface color CCD camera.
+This is a fairly inexpensive device for capturing images. Logitech
+does not currently provide information for developers, but many people
+have engineered several solutions for non-Microsoft use of the Color
+Quickcam.
+
+1.1 Motivation
+
+ I spent a number of hours trying to get my camera to work, and I
+hope this document saves you some time. My camera will not work with
+the 2.2.13 kernel as distributed, but with a few patches to the
+module, I was able to grab some frames. See 4.0, Future Work.
+
+
+
+2.0 Compilation, Installation, and Configuration
+
+ The c-qcam depends on parallel port support, video4linux, and the
+Color Quickcam. It is also nice to have the parallel port readback
+support enabled. I enabled these as modules during the kernel
+configuration. The appropriate flags are:
+
+ CONFIG_PRINTER M for lp.o, parport.o parport_pc.o modules
+ CONFIG_PNP_PARPORT M for autoprobe.o IEEE1284 readback module
+ CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK M for parport_probe.o IEEE1284 readback module
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV M for videodev.o video4linux module
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_CQCAM M for c-qcam.o Color Quickcam module
+
+ With these flags, the kernel should compile and install the modules.
+To record and monitor the compilation, I use:
+
+ (make zlilo ; \
+ make modules; \
+ make modules_install ;
+ depmod -a ) &>log &
+ less log # then a capital 'F' to watch the progress
+
+But that is my personal preference.
+
+2.2 Configuration
+
+ The configuration requires module configuration and device
+configuration. I like kmod or kerneld process with the
+/etc/modprobe.conf file so the modules can automatically load/unload as
+they are used. The video devices could already exist, be generated
+using MAKEDEV, or need to be created. The following sections detail
+these procedures.
+
+
+2.1 Module Configuration
+
+ Using modules requires a bit of work to install and pass the
+parameters. Understand that entries in /etc/modprobe.conf of:
+
+ alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
+ options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=none
+ alias char-major-81 videodev
+ alias char-major-81-0 c-qcam
+
+will cause the kmod/modprobe to do certain things. If you are
+using kmod, then a request for a 'char-major-81-0' will cause
+the 'c-qcam' module to load. If you have other video sources with
+modules, you might want to assign the different minor numbers to
+different modules.
+
+2.2 Device Configuration
+
+ At this point, we need to ensure that the device files exist.
+Video4linux used the /dev/video* files, and we want to attach the
+Quickcam to one of these.
+
+ ls -lad /dev/video* # should produce a list of the video devices
+
+If the video devices do not exist, you can create them with:
+
+ su
+ cd /dev
+ for ii in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ; do
+ mknod video$ii c 81 $ii # char-major-81-[0-16]
+ chown root.root video$ii # owned by root
+ chmod 600 video$ii # read/writable by root only
+ done
+
+ Lots of people connect video0 to video and bttv, but you might want
+your c-qcam to mean something more:
+
+ ln -s video0 c-qcam # make /dev/c-qcam a working file
+ ln -s c-qcam video # make /dev/c-qcam your default video source
+
+ But these are conveniences. The important part is to make the proper
+special character files with the right major and minor numbers. All
+of the special device files are listed in ../devices.txt. If you
+would like the c-qcam readable by non-root users, you will need to
+change the permissions.
+
+3.0 Troubleshooting
+
+ If the sample program below, v4lgrab, gives you output then
+everything is working.
+
+ v4lgrab | wc # should give you a count of characters
+
+ Otherwise, you have some problem.
+
+ The c-qcam is IEEE1284 compatible, so if you are using the proc file
+system (CONFIG_PROC_FS), the parallel printer support
+(CONFIG_PRINTER), the IEEE 1284 system,(CONFIG_PRINTER_READBACK), you
+should be able to read some identification from your quickcam with
+
+ modprobe -v parport
+ modprobe -v parport_probe
+ cat /proc/parport/PORTNUMBER/autoprobe
+Returns:
+ CLASS:MEDIA;
+ MODEL:Color QuickCam 2.0;
+ MANUFACTURER:Connectix;
+
+ A good response to this indicates that your color quickcam is alive
+and well. A common problem is that the current driver does not
+reliably detect a c-qcam, even though one is attached. In this case,
+
+ modprobe -v c-qcam
+or
+ insmod -v c-qcam
+
+ Returns a message saying "Device or resource busy" Development is
+currently underway, but a workaround is to patch the module to skip
+the detection code and attach to a defined port. Check the
+video4linux mailing list and archive for more current information.
+
+3.1 Checklist:
+
+ Can you get an image?
+ v4lgrab >qcam.ppm ; wc qcam.ppm ; xv qcam.ppm
+
+ Is a working c-qcam connected to the port?
+ grep ^ /proc/parport/?/autoprobe
+
+ Do the /dev/video* files exist?
+ ls -lad /dev/video
+
+ Is the c-qcam module loaded?
+ modprobe -v c-qcam ; lsmod
+
+ Does the camera work with alternate programs? cqcam, etc?
+
+
+
+
+4.0 Future Work / current workarounds
+
+ It is hoped that this section will soon become obsolete, but if it
+isn't, you might try patching the c-qcam module to add a parport=xxx
+option as in the bw-qcam module so you can specify the parallel port:
+
+ insmod -v c-qcam parport=0
+
+And bypass the detection code, see ../../drivers/char/c-qcam.c and
+look for the 'qc_detect' code and call.
+
+ Note that there is work in progress to change the video4linux API,
+this work is documented at the video4linux2 site listed below.
+
+
+9.0 --- A sample program using v4lgrabber,
+
+This program is a simple image grabber that will copy a frame from the
+first video device, /dev/video0 to standard output in portable pixmap
+format (.ppm) Using this like: 'v4lgrab | convert - c-qcam.jpg'
+produced this picture of me at

+This is a driver for the CPiA PPC2 driven parallel connected
+Camera. For example the Creative WebcamII is CPiA driven.
+
+ ) [1]Peter Pregler, Linz 2000, published under the [2]GNU GPL
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+USAGE:
+
+General:
+========
+
+1) Make sure you have created the video devices (/dev/video*):
+
+- if you have a recent MAKEDEV do a 'cd /dev;./MAKEDEV video'
+- otherwise do a:
+
+cd /dev
+mknod video0 c 81 0
+ln -s video0 video
+
+2) Compile the kernel (see below for the list of options to use),
+ configure your parport and reboot.
+
+3) If all worked well you should get messages similar
+ to the following (your versions may be different) on the console:
+
+V4L-Driver for Vision CPiA based cameras v0.7.4
+parport0: read2 timeout.
+parport0: Multimedia device, VLSI Vision Ltd PPC2
+Parallel port driver for Vision CPiA based camera
+ CPIA Version: 1.20 (2.0)
+ CPIA PnP-ID: 0553:0002:0100
+ VP-Version: 1.0 0100
+ 1 camera(s) found
+
+
+As modules:
+===========
+
+Make sure you have selected the following kernel options (you can
+select all stuff as modules):
+
+The cpia-stuff is in the section 'Character devices -> Video For Linux'.
+
+CONFIG_PARPORT=m
+CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m
+CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
+CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
+CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
+CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA=m
+CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_PP=m
+
+For autoloading of all those modules you need to tell module-init-tools
+some stuff. Add the following line to your module-init-tools config-file
+(e.g. /etc/modprobe.conf or wherever your distribution does store that
+stuff):
+
+options parport_pc io=0x378 irq=7 dma=3
+alias char-major-81 cpia_pp
+
+The first line tells the dma/irq channels to use. Those _must_ match
+the settings of your BIOS. Do NOT simply use the values above. See
+Documentation/parport.txt for more information about this. The second
+line associates the video-device file with the driver. Of cause you
+can also load the modules once upon boot (usually done in /etc/modules).
+
+Linked into the kernel:
+=======================
+
+Make sure you have selected the following kernel options. Note that
+you cannot compile the parport-stuff as modules and the cpia-driver
+statically (the other way round is okay though).
+
+The cpia-stuff is in the section 'Character devices -> Video For Linux'.
+
+CONFIG_PARPORT=y
+CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=y
+CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_FIFO=y
+CONFIG_PARPORT_1284=y
+CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=y
+CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA=y
+CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA_PP=y
+
+To use DMA/irq you will need to tell the kernel upon boot time the
+hardware configuration of the parport. You can give the boot-parameter
+at the LILO-prompt or specify it in lilo.conf. I use the following
+append-line in lilo.conf:
+
+ append="parport=0x378,7,3"
+
+See Documentation/parport.txt for more information about the
+configuration of the parport and the values given above. Do not simply
+use the values given above.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+FEATURES:
+
+- mmap/read v4l-interface (but no overlay)
+- image formats: CIF/QCIF, SIF/QSIF, various others used by isabel;
+ note: all sizes except CIF/QCIF are implemented by clipping, i.e.
+ pixels are not uploaded from the camera
+- palettes: VIDEO_PALETTE_GRAY, VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB565, VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB555,
+ VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB24, VIDEO_PALETTE_RGB32, VIDEO_PALETTE_YUYV,
+ VIDEO_PALETTE_UYVY, VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV422
+- state information (color balance, exposure, ...) is preserved between
+ device opens
+- complete control over camera via proc-interface (_all_ camera settings are
+ supported), there is also a python-gtk application available for this [3]
+- works under SMP (but the driver is completely serialized and synchronous)
+ so you get no benefit from SMP, but at least it does not crash your box
+- might work for non-Intel architecture, let us know about this
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+TESTED APPLICATIONS:
+
+- a simple test application based on Xt is available at [3]
+- another test-application based on gqcam-0.4 (uses GTK)
+- gqcam-0.6 should work
+- xawtv-3.x (also the webcam software)
+- xawtv-2.46
+- w3cam (cgi-interface and vidcat, e.g. you may try out 'vidcat |xv
+ -maxpect -root -quit +noresetroot -rmode 5 -')
+- vic, the MBONE video conferencing tool (version 2.8ucl4-1)
+- isabel 3R4beta (barely working, but AFAICT all the problems are on
+ their side)
+- camserv-0.40
+
+See [3] for pointers to v4l-applications.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+KNOWN PROBLEMS:
+
+- some applications do not handle the image format correctly, you will
+ see strange horizontal stripes instead of a nice picture -> make sure
+ your application does use a supported image size or queries the driver
+ for the actually used size (reason behind this: the camera cannot
+ provide any image format, so if size NxM is requested the driver will
+ use a format to the closest fitting N1xM1, the application should now
+ query for this granted size, most applications do not).
+- all the todo ;)
+- if there is not enough light and the picture is too dark try to
+ adjust the SetSensorFPS setting, automatic frame rate adjustment
+ has its price
+- do not try out isabel 3R4beta (built 135), you will be disappointed
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+TODO:
+
+- multiple camera support (struct camera or something) - This should work,
+ but hasn't been tested yet.
+- architecture independence?
+- SMP-safe asynchronous mmap interface
+- nibble mode for old parport interfaces
+- streaming capture, this should give a performance gain
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+IMPLEMENTATION NOTES:
+
+The camera can act in two modes, streaming or grabbing. Right now a
+polling grab-scheme is used. Maybe interrupt driven streaming will be
+used for a asynchronous mmap interface in the next major release of the
+driver. This might give a better frame rate.
+

+cx8800 release notes
+====================
+
+This is a v4l2 device driver for the cx2388x chip.
+
+
+current status
+==============
+
+video
+ - Basically works.
+ - Some minor image quality glitches.
+ - For now only capture, overlay support isn't completed yet.
+
+audio
+ - The chip specs for the on-chip TV sound decoder are next
+ to useless :-/
+ - Neverless the builtin TV sound decoder starts working now,
+ at least for PAL-BG. Other TV norms need other code ...
+ FOR ANY REPORTS ON THIS PLEASE MENTION THE TV NORM YOU ARE
+ USING.
+ - Most tuner chips do provide mono sound, which may or may not
+ be useable depending on the board design. With the Hauppauge
+ cards it works, so there is mono sound available as fallback.
+ - audio data dma (i.e. recording without loopback cable to the
+ sound card) should be possible, but there is no code yet ...
+
+vbi
+ - some code present. Doesn't crash any more, but also doesn't
+ work yet ...
+
+
+how to add support for new cards
+================================
+
+The driver needs some config info for the TV cards. This stuff is in
+cx88-cards.c. If the driver doesn't work well you likely need a new
+entry for your card in that file. Check the kernel log (using dmesg)
+to see whenever the driver knows your card or not. There is a line
+like this one:
+
+ cx8800[0]: subsystem: 0070:3400, board: Hauppauge WinTV \
+ 34xxx models [card=1,autodetected]
+
+If your card is listed as "board: UNKNOWN/GENERIC" it is unknown to
+the driver. What to do then?
+
+ (1) Try upgrading to the latest snapshot, maybe it has been added
+ meanwhile.
+ (2) You can try to create a new entry yourself, have a look at
+ cx88-cards.c. If that worked, mail me your changes as unified
+ diff ("diff -u").
+ (3) Or you can mail me the config information. I need at least the
+ following informations to add the card:
+
+ * the PCI Subsystem ID ("0070:3400" from the line above,
+ "lspci -v" output is fine too).
+ * the tuner type used by the card. You can try to find one by
+ trial-and-error using the tuner=<n> insmod option. If you
+ know which one the card has you can also have a look at the
+ list in CARDLIST.tuner
+
+Have fun,
+

+
+infrared remote control support in video4linux drivers
+======================================================
+
+
+basics
+------
+
+Current versions use the linux input layer to support infrared
+remote controls. I suggest to download my input layer tools
+from http://bytesex.org/snapshot/input-<date>.tar.gz
+
+Modules you have to load:
+
+ saa7134 statically built in, i.e. just the driver :)
+ bttv ir-kbd-gpio or ir-kbd-i2c depending on your
+ card.
+
+ir-kbd-gpio and ir-kbd-i2c don't support all cards lirc supports
+(yet), mainly for the reason that the code of lirc_i2c and lirc_gpio
+was very confusing and I decided to basically start over from scratch.
+Feel free to contact me in case of trouble. Note that the ir-kbd-*
+modules work on 2.6.x kernels only through ...
+
+
+how it works
+------------
+
+The modules register the remote as keyboard within the linux input
+layer, i.e. you'll see the keys of the remote as normal key strokes
+(if CONFIG_INPUT_KEYBOARD is enabled).
+
+Using the event devices (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV) it is possible for
+applications to access the remote via /dev/input/event<n> devices.
+You might have to create the special files using "/sbin/MAKEDEV
+input". The input layer tools mentioned above use the event device.
+
+The input layer tools are nice for trouble shooting, i.e. to check
+whenever the input device is really present, which of the devices it
+is, check whenever pressing keys on the remote actually generates
+events and the like. You can also use the kbd utility to change the
+keymaps (2.6.x kernels only through).
+
+
+using with lircd
+================
+
+The cvs version of the lircd daemon supports reading events from the
+linux input layer (via event device). The input layer tools tarball
+comes with a lircd config file.
+
+
+using without lircd
+===================
+
+XFree86 likely can be configured to recognise the remote keys. Once I
+simply tried to configure one of the multimedia keyboards as input
+device, which had the effect that XFree86 recognised some of the keys
+of my remote control and passed volume up/down key presses as
+XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume key events to the X11
+clients.
+
+It likely is possible to make that fly with a nice xkb config file,
+I know next to nothing about that through.
+
+
+Have fun,
+

+
+What is it?
+===========
+
+This is a v4l2/oss device driver for saa7130/33/34/35 based capture / TV
+boards. See http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/saa7134hl for a
+description.
+
+
+Status
+======
+
+Almost everything is working. video, sound, tuner, radio, mpeg ts, ...
+
+As with bttv, card-specific tweaks are needed. Check CARDLIST for a
+list of known TV cards and saa7134-cards.c for the drivers card
+configuration info.
+
+
+Build
+=====
+
+Pick up videodev + v4l2 patches from http://bytesex.org/patches/.
+Configure, build, install + boot the new kernel. You'll need at least
+these config options:
+
+ CONFIG_I2C=m
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
+
+Type "make" to build the driver now. "make install" installs the
+driver. "modprobe saa7134" should load it. Depending on the card you
+might have to pass card=<nr> as insmod option, check CARDLIST for
+valid choices.
+
+
+Changes / Fixes
+===============
+
+Please mail me unified diffs ("diff -u") with your changes, and don't
+forget to tell me what it changes / which problem it fixes / whatever
+it is good for ...
+
+
+Known Problems
+==============
+
+* The tuner for the flyvideos isn't detected automatically and the
+ default might not work for you depending on which version you have.
+ There is a tuner= insmod option to override the driver's default.
+
+Card Variations:
+================
+
+Cards can use either of these two crystals (xtal):
+ - 32.11 MHz -> .audio_clock=0x187de7
+ - 24.576MHz -> .audio_clock=0x200000
+(xtal * .audio_clock = 51539600)

+
+===========================
+
+1.1 What the TV decoder can do an what not
+
+The best know TV standards are NTSC/PAL/SECAM. but for decoding a frame that
+information is not enough. There are several formats of the TV standards.
+And not every TV decoder is able to handle every format. Also the every
+combination is supported by the driver. There are currently 11 different
+tv broadcast formats all aver the world.
+
+The CCIR defines parameters needed for broadcasting the signal.
+The CCIR has defined different standards: A,B,D,E,F,G,D,H,I,K,K1,L,M,N,...
+The CCIR says not much about about the colorsystem used !!!
+And talking about a colorsystem says not to much about how it is broadcast.
+
+The CCIR standards A,E,F are not used any more.
+
+When you speak about NTSC, you usually mean the standard: CCIR - M using
+the NTSC colorsystem which is used in the USA, Japan, Mexico, Canada
+and a few others.
+
+When you talk about PAL, you usually mean: CCIR - B/G using the PAL
+colorsystem which is used in many Countries.
+
+When you talk about SECAM, you mean: CCIR - L using the SECAM Colorsystem
+which is used in France, and a few others.
+
+There the other version of SECAM, CCIR - D/K is used in Bulgaria, China,
+Slovakai, Hungary, Korea (Rep.), Poland, Rumania and a others.
+
+The CCIR - H uses the PAL colorsystem (sometimes SECAM) and is used in
+Egypt, Libya, Sri Lanka, Syrain Arab. Rep.
+
+The CCIR - I uses the PAL colorsystem, and is used in Great Britain, Hong Kong,
+Ireland, Nigeria, South Africa.
+
+The CCIR - N uses the PAL colorsystem and PAL frame size but the NTSC framerate,
+and is used in Argentinia, Uruguay, an a few others
+
+We do not talk about how the audio is broadcast !
+
+A rather good sites about the TV standards are:
+http://www.sony.jp/ServiceArea/Voltage_map/
+http://info.electronicwerkstatt.de/bereiche/fernsehtechnik/frequenzen_und_normen/Fernsehnormen/
+and http://www.cabl.com/restaurant/channel.html
+
+Other weird things around: NTSC 4.43 is a modificated NTSC, which is mainly
+used in PAL VCR's that are able to play back NTSC. PAL 60 seems to be the same
+as NTSC 4.43 . The Datasheets also talk about NTSC 44, It seems as if it would
+be the same as NTSC 4.43.
+NTSC Combs seems to be a decoder mode where the decoder uses a comb filter
+to split coma and luma instead of a Delay line.
+
+But I did not defiantly find out what NTSC Comb is.

+
+===========================
+
+1.2 What the TV encoder can do an what not
+
+The TV encoder are doing the "same" as the decoder, but in the oder direction.
+You feed them digital data and the generate a Composite or SVHS signal.
+For information about the colorsystems and TV norm take a look in the
+TV decoder section.

+
+Brooktree bt856 TV Encoder
+was introduced in 1994, is used in the LML33

+
+Analog Devices adv7170 TV Encoder

+
+Analog Devices adv7175 TV Encoder
+was introduced in 1996, is used in the DC10, DC10+, DC10 old, DC30, DC30+

+
+ITT mse3000 TV encoder
+was introduced in 1991, is used in the DC10 old
+can generate: PAL , NTSC , SECAM
+
+The adv717x, should be able to produce PAL N. But you find nothing PAL N
+specific in the the registers. Seem that you have to reuse a other standard
+to generate PAL N, maybe it would work if you use the PAL M settings.
+
+==========================
+
+2. How do I get this damn thing to work
+
+Load zr36067.o. If it can't autodetect your card, use the card=X insmod
+option with X being the card number as given in the previous section.
+To have more than one card, use card=X1[,X2[,X3,[X4[..]]]]
+
+To automate this, add the following to your /etc/modprobe.conf:
+
+options zr36067 card=X1[,X2[,X3[,X4[..]]]]
+alias char-major-81-0 zr36067
+
+One thing to keep in mind is that this doesn't load zr36067.o itself yet. It
+just automates loading. If you start using xawtv, the device won't load on
+some systems, since you're trying to load modules as a user, which is not
+allowed ("permission denied"). A quick workaround is to add 'Load "v4l"' to
+XF86Config-4 when you use X by default, or to run 'v4l-conf -c <device>' in
+one of your startup scripts (normally rc.local) if you don't use X. Both
+make sure that the modules are loaded on startup, under the root account.
+
+===========================
+
+3. What mainboard should I use (or why doesn't my card work)
+
+<insert lousy disclaimer here>. In short: good=SiS/Intel, bad=VIA.
+
+Experience tells us that people with a Buz, on average, have more problems
+than users with a DC10+/LML33. Also, it tells us that people owning a VIA-
+based mainboard (ktXXX, MVP3) have more problems than users with a mainboard
+based on a different chipset. Here's some notes from Andrew Stevens:
+--
+Here's my experience of using LML33 and Buz on various motherboards:
+
+VIA MVP3
+ Forget it. Pointless. Doesn't work.
+Intel 430FX (Pentium 200)
+ LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable (3 or 4 frames dropped per movie)
+Intel 440BX (early stepping)
+ LML33 tolerable. Buz starting to get annoying (6-10 frames/hour)
+Intel 440BX (late stepping)
+ Buz tolerable, LML3 almost perfect (occasional single frame drops)
+SiS735
+ LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable.
+VIA KT133(*)
+ LML33 starting to get annoying, Buz poor enough that I have up.
+
+Both 440BX boards were dual CPU versions.
+--
+Bernhard Praschinger later added:
+--
+AMD 751
+ Buz perfect-tolerable
+AMD 760
+ Buz perfect-tolerable
+--
+In general, people on the user mailinglist won't give you much of a chance
+if you have a VIA-based motherboard. They may be cheap, but sometimes, you'd
+rather want to spend some more money on better boards. In general, VIA
+mainboard's IDE/PCI performance will also suck badly compared to others.
+You'll noticed the DC10+/DC30+ aren't mentioned anywhere in the overview.
+Basically, you can assume that if the Buz works, the LML33 will work too. If
+the LML33 works, the DC10+/DC30+ will work too. They're most tolerant to
+different mainboard chipsets from all of the supported cards.
+
+If you experience timeouts during capture, buy a better mainboard or lower
+the quality/buffersize during capture (see 'Concerning buffer sizes, quality,
+output size etc.'). If it hangs, there's little we can do as of now. Check
+your IRQs and make sure the card has its own interrupts.
+
+===========================
+
+4. Programming interface
+
+This driver conforms to video4linux and video4linux2, both can be used to
+use the driver. Since video4linux didn't provide adequate calls to fully
+use the cards' features, we've introduced several programming extensions,
+which are currently officially accepted in the 2.4.x branch of the kernel.
+These extensions are known as the v4l/mjpeg extensions. See zoran.h for
+details (structs/ioctls).
+
+Information - video4linux:
+http://roadrunner.swansea.linux.org.uk/v4lapi.shtml
+Documentation/video4linux/API.html
+/usr/include/linux/videodev.h
+
+Information - video4linux/mjpeg extensions:
+./zoran.h
+(also see below)
+
+Information - video4linux2:
+http://www.thedirks.org/v4l2/
+/usr/include/linux/videodev2.h
+http://www.bytesex.org/v4l/
+
+More information on the video4linux/mjpeg extensions, by Serguei
+Miridonovi and Rainer Johanni:
+--
+The ioctls for that interface are as follows:
+
+BUZIOC_G_PARAMS
+BUZIOC_S_PARAMS
+
+Get and set the parameters of the buz. The user should always do a
+BUZIOC_G_PARAMS (with a struct buz_params) to obtain the default
+settings, change what he likes and then make a BUZIOC_S_PARAMS call.
+
+BUZIOC_REQBUFS
+
+Before being able to capture/playback, the user has to request
+the buffers he is wanting to use. Fill the structure
+zoran_requestbuffers with the size (recommended: 256*1024) and
+the number (recommended 32 up to 256). There are no such restrictions
+as for the Video for Linux buffers, you should LEAVE SUFFICIENT
+MEMORY for your system however, else strange things will happen ....
+On return, the zoran_requestbuffers structure contains number and
+size of the actually allocated buffers.
+You should use these numbers for doing a mmap of the buffers
+into the user space.
+The BUZIOC_REQBUFS ioctl also makes it happen, that the next mmap
+maps the MJPEG buffer instead of the V4L buffers.
+
+BUZIOC_QBUF_CAPT
+BUZIOC_QBUF_PLAY
+
+Queue a buffer for capture or playback. The first call also starts
+streaming capture. When streaming capture is going on, you may
+only queue further buffers or issue syncs until streaming
+capture is switched off again with a argument of -1 to
+a BUZIOC_QBUF_CAPT/BUZIOC_QBUF_PLAY ioctl.
+
+BUZIOC_SYNC
+
+Issue this ioctl when all buffers are queued. This ioctl will
+block until the first buffer becomes free for saving its
+data to disk (after BUZIOC_QBUF_CAPT) or for reuse (after BUZIOC_QBUF_PLAY).
+
+BUZIOC_G_STATUS
+
+Get the status of the input lines (video source connected/norm).
+
+For programming example, please, look at lavrec.c and lavplay.c code in
+lavtools-1.2p2 package (URL: http://www.cicese.mx/~mirsev/DC10plus/)
+and the 'examples' directory in the original Buz driver distribution.
+
+Additional notes for software developers:
+
+ The driver returns maxwidth and maxheight parameters according to
+ the current TV standard (norm). Therefore, the software which
+ communicates with the driver and "asks" for these parameters should
+ first set the correct norm. Well, it seems logically correct: TV
+ standard is "more constant" for current country than geometry
+ settings of a variety of TV capture cards which may work in ITU or
+ square pixel format. Remember that users now can lock the norm to
+ avoid any ambiguity.
+--
+Please note that lavplay/lavrec are also included in the MJPEG-tools
+(http://mjpeg.sf.net/).
+
+===========================
+

+
+===========================
+
+6. Concerning buffer sizes, quality, output size etc.
+
+The zr36060 can do 1:2 JPEG compression. This is really the theoretical
+maximum that the chipset can reach. The driver can, however, limit compression
+to a maximum (size) of 1:4. The reason for this is that some cards (e.g. Buz)
+can't handle 1:2 compression without stopping capture after only a few minutes.
+With 1:4, it'll mostly work. If you have a Buz, use 'low_bitrate=1' to go into
+1:4 max. compression mode.
+
+100% JPEG quality is thus 1:2 compression in practice. So for a full PAL frame
+(size 720x576). The JPEG fields are stored in YUY2 format, so the size of the
+fields are 720x288x16/2 bits/field (2 fields/frame) = 207360 bytes/field x 2 =
+414720 bytes/frame (add some more bytes for headers and DHT (huffman)/DQT
+(quantization) tables, and you'll get to something like 512kB per frame for
+1:2 compression. For 1:4 compression, you'd have frames of half this size.
+
+Some additional explanation by Martin Samuelsson, which also explains the
+importance of buffer sizes:
+--
+> Hmm, I do not think it is really that way. With the current (downloaded
+> at 18:00 Monday) driver I get that output sizes for 10 sec:
+> -q 50 -b 128 : 24.283.332 Bytes
+> -q 50 -b 256 : 48.442.368
+> -q 25 -b 128 : 24.655.992
+> -q 25 -b 256 : 25.859.820
+
+I woke up, and can't go to sleep again. I'll kill some time explaining why
+this doesn't look strange to me.
+
+Let's do some math using a width of 704 pixels. I'm not sure whether the Buz
+actually use that number or not, but that's not too important right now.
+
+704x288 pixels, one field, is 202752 pixels. Divided by 64 pixels per block;
+3168 blocks per field. Each pixel consist of two bytes; 128 bytes per block;
+1024 bits per block. 100% in the new driver mean 1:2 compression; the maximum
+output becomes 512 bits per block. Actually 510, but 512 is simpler to use
+for calculations.
+
+Let's say that we specify d1q50. We thus want 256 bits per block; times 3168
+becomes 811008 bits; 101376 bytes per field. We're talking raw bits and bytes
+here, so we don't need to do any fancy corrections for bits-per-pixel or such
+things. 101376 bytes per field.
+
+d1 video contains two fields per frame. Those sum up to 202752 bytes per
+frame, and one of those frames goes into each buffer.
+
+But wait a second! -b128 gives 128kB buffers! It's not possible to cram
+202752 bytes of JPEG data into 128kB!
+
+This is what the driver notice and automatically compensate for in your
+examples. Let's do some math using this information:
+
+128kB is 131072 bytes. In this buffer, we want to store two fields, which
+leaves 65536 bytes for each field. Using 3168 blocks per field, we get
+20.68686868... available bytes per block; 165 bits. We can't allow the
+request for 256 bits per block when there's only 165 bits available! The -q50
+option is silently overridden, and the -b128 option takes precedence, leaving
+us with the equivalence of -q32.
+
+This gives us a data rate of 165 bits per block, which, times 3168, sums up
+to 65340 bytes per field, out of the allowed 65536. The current driver has
+another level of rate limiting; it won't accept -q values that fill more than
+6/8 of the specified buffers. (I'm not sure why. "Playing it safe" seem to be
+a safe bet. Personally, I think I would have lowered requested-bits-per-block
+by one, or something like that.) We can't use 165 bits per block, but have to
+lower it again, to 6/8 of the available buffer space: We end up with 124 bits
+per block, the equivalence of -q24. With 128kB buffers, you can't use greater
+than -q24 at -d1. (And PAL, and 704 pixels width...)
+
+The third example is limited to -q24 through the same process. The second
+example, using very similar calculations, is limited to -q48. The only
+example that actually grab at the specified -q value is the last one, which
+is clearly visible, looking at the file size.
+--
+
+Conclusion: the quality of the resulting movie depends on buffer size, quality,
+whether or not you use 'low_bitrate=1' as insmod option for the zr36060.c
+module to do 1:4 instead of 1:2 compression, etc.
+
+If you experience timeouts, lowering the quality/buffersize or using
+'low_bitrate=1 as insmod option for zr36060.o might actually help, as is
+proven by the Buz.
+
+===========================
+
+7. It hangs/crashes/fails/whatevers! Help!
+
+Make sure that the card has its own interrupts (see /proc/interrupts), check
+the output of dmesg at high verbosity (load zr36067.o with debug=2,
+load all other modules with debug=1). Check that your mainboard is favorable
+(see question 2) and if not, test the card in another computer. Also see the
+notes given in question 3 and try lowering quality/buffersize/capturesize
+if recording fails after a period of time.
+
+If all this doesn't help, give a clear description of the problem including
+detailed hardware information (memory+brand, mainboard+chipset+brand, which
+MJPEG card, processor, other PCI cards that might be of interest), give the
+system PnP information (/proc/interrupts, /proc/dma, /proc/devices), and give
+the kernel version, driver version, glibc version, gcc version and any other
+information that might possibly be of interest. Also provide the dmesg output
+at high verbosity. See 'Contacting' on how to contact the developers.

+This list tends to be outdated because it is updated manually ...
+
+==========================================================================
+
+bttv.o
+ the bt848/878 (grabber chip) driver
+
+ insmod args:
+ card=n card type, see CARDLIST for a list.
+ tuner=n tuner type, see CARDLIST for a list.
+ radio=0/1 card supports radio
+ pll=0/1/2 pll settings
+ 0: don't use PLL
+ 1: 28 MHz crystal installed
+ 2: 35 MHz crystal installed
+
+ triton1=0/1 for Triton1 (+others) compatibility
+ vsfx=0/1 yet another chipset bug compatibility bit
+ see README.quirks for details on these two.
+
+ bigendian=n Set the endianness of the gfx framebuffer.
+ Default is native endian.
+ fieldnr=0/1 Count fields. Some TV descrambling software
+ needs this, for others it only generates
+ 50 useless IRQs/sec. default is 0 (off).
+ autoload=0/1 autoload helper modules (tuner, audio).
+ default is 1 (on).
+ bttv_verbose=0/1/2 verbose level (at insmod time, while
+ looking at the hardware). default is 1.
+ bttv_debug=0/1 debug messages (for capture).
+ default is 0 (off).
+ irq_debug=0/1 irq handler debug messages.
+ default is 0 (off).
+ gbuffers=2-32 number of capture buffers for mmap'ed capture.
+ default is 4.
+ gbufsize= size of capture buffers. default and
+ maximum value is 0x208000 (~2MB)
+ no_overlay=0 Enable overlay on broken hardware. There
+ are some chipsets (SIS for example) which
+ are known to have problems with the PCI DMA
+ push used by bttv. bttv will disable overlay
+ by default on this hardware to avoid crashes.
+ With this insmod option you can override this.
+ automute=0/1 Automatically mutes the sound if there is
+ no TV signal, on by default. You might try
+ to disable this if you have bad input signal
+ quality which leading to unwanted sound
+ dropouts.
+ chroma_agc=0/1 AGC of chroma signal, off by default.
+ adc_crush=0/1 Luminance ADC crush, on by default.
+
+ bttv_gpio=0/1
+ gpiomask=
+ audioall=
+ audiomux=
+ See Sound-FAQ for a detailed description.
+
+ remap, card, radio and pll accept up to four comma-separated arguments
+ (for multiple boards).
+
+tuner.o
+ The tuner driver. You need this unless you want to use only
+ with a camera or external tuner ...
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog
+ type=n type of the tuner chip. n as follows:
+ see CARDLIST for a complete list.
+ pal=[bdgil] select PAL variant (used for some tuners
+ only, important for the audio carrier).
+
+tvmixer.o
+ registers a mixer device for the TV card's volume/bass/treble
+ controls (requires a i2c audio control chip like the msp3400).
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+ devnr=n allocate device #n (0 == /dev/mixer,
+ 1 = /dev/mixer1, ...), default is to
+ use the first free one.
+
+tvaudio.o
+ new, experimental module which is supported to provide a single
+ driver for all simple i2c audio control chips (tda/tea*).
+
+ insmod args:
+ tda8425 = 1 enable/disable the support for the
+ tda9840 = 1 various chips.
+ tda9850 = 1 The tea6300 can't be autodetected and is
+ tda9855 = 1 therefore off by default, if you have
+ tda9873 = 1 this one on your card (STB uses these)
+ tda9874a = 1 you have to enable it explicitly.
+ tea6300 = 0 The two tda985x chips use the same i2c
+ tea6420 = 1 address and can't be disturgished from
+ pic16c54 = 1 each other, you might have to disable
+ the wrong one.
+ debug = 1 print debug messages
+
+ insmod args for tda9874a:
+ tda9874a_SIF=1/2 select sound IF input pin (1 or 2)
+ (default is pin 1)
+ tda9874a_AMSEL=0/1 auto-mute select for NICAM (default=0)
+ Please read note 3 below!
+ tda9874a_STD=n select TV sound standard (0..8):
+ 0 - A2, B/G
+ 1 - A2, M (Korea)
+ 2 - A2, D/K (1)
+ 3 - A2, D/K (2)
+ 4 - A2, D/K (3)
+ 5 - NICAM, I
+ 6 - NICAM, B/G
+ 7 - NICAM, D/K (default)
+ 8 - NICAM, L
+
+ Note 1: tda9874a supports both tda9874h (old) and tda9874a (new) chips.
+ Note 2: tda9874h/a and tda9875 (which is supported separately by
+ tda9875.o) use the same i2c address so both modules should not be
+ used at the same time.
+ Note 3: Using tda9874a_AMSEL option depends on your TV card design!
+ AMSEL=0: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
+ and the sound on 1st carrier (i.e. FM mono or AM).
+ AMSEL=1: auto-mute will switch between NICAM sound
+ and the analog mono input (MONOIN pin).
+ If tda9874a decoder on your card has MONOIN pin not connected, then
+ use only tda9874_AMSEL=0 or don't specify this option at all.
+ For example:
+ card=65 (FlyVideo 2000S) - set AMSEL=1 or AMSEL=0
+ card=72 (Prolink PV-BT878P rev.9B) - set AMSEL=0 only
+
+msp3400.o
+ The driver for the msp34xx sound processor chips. If you have a
+ stereo card, you probably want to insmod this one.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1/2 print some debug info to the syslog,
+ 2 is more verbose.
+ simple=1 Use the "short programming" method. Newer
+ msp34xx versions support this. You need this
+ for dbx stereo. Default is on if supported by
+ the chip.
+ once=1 Don't check the TV-stations Audio mode
+ every few seconds, but only once after
+ channel switches.
+ amsound=1 Audio carrier is AM/NICAM at 6.5 Mhz. This
+ should improve things for french people, the
+ carrier autoscan seems to work with FM only...
+
+tea6300.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
+ The driver for the tea6300 fader chip. If you have a stereo
+ card and the msp3400.o doesn't work, you might want to try this
+ one. This chip is seen on most STB TV/FM cards (usually from
+ Gateway OEM sold surplus on auction sites).
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tda8425.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
+ The driver for the tda8425 fader chip. This driver used to be
+ part of bttv.c, so if your sound used to work but does not
+ anymore, try loading this module.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+
+tda985x.o - OBSOLETE (use tvaudio instead)
+ The driver for the tda9850/55 audio chips.
+
+ insmod args:
+ debug=1 print some debug info to the syslog.
+ chip=9850/9855 set the chip type.

+- Start capturing by pressing "c" or by selecting it via a menu!!!
+
+- The memory of some S3 cards is not recognized right:
+
+ First of all, if you are not using XFree-3.2 or newer, upgrade AT LEAST to
+ XFree-3.2A! This solved the problem for most people.
+
+ Start up X11 like this: "XF86_S3 -probeonly" and write down where the
+ linear frame buffer is.
+ If it is different to the address found by bttv install bttv like this:
+ "insmod bttv vidmem=0xfb0"
+ if the linear frame buffer is at 0xfb000000 (i.e. omit the last 5 zeros!)
+
+ Some S3 cards even take up 64MB of memory but only report 32MB to the BIOS.
+ If this 64MB area overlaps the IO memory of the Bt848 you also have to
+ remap this. E.g.: insmod bttv vidmem=0xfb0 remap=0xfa0
+
+ If the video memory is found at the right place and there are no address
+ conflicts but still no picture (or the computer even crashes),
+ try disabling features of your PCI chipset in the BIOS setup.
+
+ Frank Kapahnke <frank@kapahnke.prima.ruhr.de> also reported that problems
+ with his S3 868 went away when he upgraded to XFree 3.2.
+
+
+- I still only get a black picture with my S3 card!
+
+ Even with XFree-3.2A some people have problems with their S3 cards
+ (mostly with Trio 64 but also with some others)
+ Get the free demo version of Accelerated X from www.xinside.com and try
+ bttv with it. bttv seems to work with most S3 cards with Accelerated X.
+
+ Since I do not know much (better make that almost nothing) about VGA card
+ programming I do not know the reason for this.
+ Looks like XFree does something different when setting up the video memory?
+ Maybe somebody can enlighten me?
+ Would be nice if somebody could get this to work with XFree since
+ Accelerated X costs more than some of the grabber cards ...
+
+ Better linear frame buffer support for S3 cards will probably be in
+ XFree 4.0.
+
+- Grabbing is not switched off when changing consoles with XFree.
+ That's because XFree and some AcceleratedX versions do not send unmap
+ events.
+
+- Some popup windows (e.g. of the window manager) are not refreshed.
+
+ Disable backing store by starting X with the option "-bs"
+
+- When using 32 bpp in XFree or 24+8bpp mode in AccelX 3.1 the system
+ can sometimes lock up if you use more than 1 bt848 card at the same time.
+ You will always get pixel errors when e.g. using more than 1 card in full
+ screen mode. Maybe we need something faster than the PCI bus ...
+
+
+- Some S3 cards and the Matrox Mystique will produce pixel errors with
+ full resolution in 32-bit mode.
+
+- Some video cards have problems with Accelerated X 4.1

+Release notes for bttv
+======================
+
+You'll need at least these config options for bttv:
+ CONFIG_I2C=m
+ CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
+ CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
+
+The latest bttv version is available from http://bytesex.org/bttv/
+
+
+Make bttv work with your card
+-----------------------------
+
+Just try "modprobe bttv" and see if that works.
+
+If it doesn't bttv likely could not autodetect your card and needs some
+insmod options. The most important insmod option for bttv is "card=n"
+to select the correct card type. If you get video but no sound you've
+very likely specified the wrong (or no) card type. A list of supported
+cards is in CARDLIST.bttv
+
+If bttv takes very long to load (happens sometimes with the cheap
+cards which have no tuner), try adding this to your modules.conf:
+ options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1
+
+For the WinTV/PVR you need one firmware file from the driver CD:
+hcwamc.rbf. The file is in the pvr45xxx.exe archive (self-extracting
+zip file, unzip can unpack it). Put it into the /etc/pvr directory or
+use the firm_altera=<path> insmod option to point the driver to the
+location of the file.
+
+If your card isn't listed in CARDLIST.bttv or if you have trouble making
+audio work, you should read the Sound-FAQ.
+
+
+Autodetecting cards
+-------------------
+
+bttv uses the PCI Subsystem ID to autodetect the card type. lspci lists
+the Subsystem ID in the second line, looks like this:
+
+00:0a.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 (rev 02)
+ Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV/GO
+ Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
+ Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
+
+only bt878-based cards can have a subsystem ID (which does not mean
+that every card really has one). bt848 cards can't have a Subsystem
+ID and therefore can't be autodetected. There is a list with the ID's
+in bttv-cards.c (in case you are intrested or want to mail patches
+with updates).
+
+
+Still doesn't work?
+-------------------
+
+I do NOT have a lab with 30+ different grabber boards and a
+PAL/NTSC/SECAM test signal generator at home, so I often can't
+reproduce your problems. This makes debugging very difficult for me.
+If you have some knowledge and spare time, please try to fix this
+yourself (patches very welcome of course...) You know: The linux
+slogan is "Do it yourself".
+
+There is a mailing list: video4linux-list@redhat.com.
+https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
+
+If you have trouble with some specific TV card, try to ask there
+instead of mailing me directly. The chance that someone with the
+same card listens there is much higher...
+
+For problems with sound: There are alot of different systems used
+for TV sound all over the world. And there are also different chips
+which decode the audio signal. Reports about sound problems ("stereo
+does'nt work") are pretty useless unless you include some details
+about your hardware and the TV sound scheme used in your country (or
+at least the country you are living in).
+
+
+Finally: If you mail some patches for bttv around the world (to
+linux-kernel/Alan/Linus/...), please Cc: me.
+
+
+Have fun with bttv,
+
+ Gerd

+Support for the Leadtek WinView 601 TV/FM by Jon Tombs <jon@gte.esi.us.es>
+
+This card is basically the same as all the rest (Bt484A, Philips tuner),
+the main difference is that they have attached a programmable attenuator to 3
+GPIO lines in order to give some volume control. They have also stuck an
+infra-red remote control decoded on the board, I will add support for this
+when I get time (it simple generates an interrupt for each key press, with
+the key code is placed in the GPIO port).
+
+I don't yet have any application to test the radio support. The tuner
+frequency setting should work but it is possible that the audio multiplexer
+is wrong. If it doesn't work, send me email.
+
+
+- No Thanks to Leadtek they refused to answer any questions about their
+hardware. The driver was written by visual inspection of the card. If you
+use this driver, send an email insult to them, and tell them you won't
+continue buying their hardware unless they support Linux.
+
+- Little thanks to Princeton Technology Corp (http://www.princeton.com.tw)
+who make the audio attenuator. Their publicly available data-sheet available
+on their web site doesn't include the chip programming information! Hidden
+on their server are the full data-sheets, but don't ask how I found it.
+
+To use the driver I use the following options, the tuner and pll settings might
+be different in your country
+
+insmod videodev
+insmod i2c scan=1 i2c_debug=0 verbose=0
+insmod tuner type=1 debug=0

+
+If the box freezes hard with bttv ...
+=====================================
+
+It might be a bttv driver bug. It also might be bad hardware. It also
+might be something else ...
+
+Just mailing me "bttv freezes" isn't going to help much. This README
+has a few hints how you can help to pin down the problem.
+
+
+bttv bugs
+---------
+
+If some version works and another doesn't it is likely to be a driver
+bug. It is very helpful if you can tell where exactly it broke
+(i.e. the last working and the first broken version).
+
+With a hard freeze you probably doesn't find anything in the logfiles.
+The only way to capture any kernel messages is to hook up a serial
+console and let some terminal application log the messages. /me uses
+screen. See Documentation/serial-console.txt for details on setting
+up a serial console.
+
+Read Documentation/oops-tracing.txt to learn how to get any useful
+information out of a register+stack dump printed by the kernel on
+protection faults (so-called "kernel oops").
+
+If you run into some kind of deadlock, you can try to dump a call trace
+for each process using sysrq-t (see Documentation/sysrq.txt). ksymoops
+will translate these dumps into kernel symbols too. This way it is
+possible to figure where *exactly* some process in "D" state is stuck.
+
+I've seen reports that bttv 0.7.x crashes whereas 0.8.x works rock solid
+for some people. Thus probably a small buglet left somewhere in bttv
+0.7.x. I have no idea where exactly, it works stable for me and alot of
+other people. But in case you have problems with the 0.7.x versions you
+can give 0.8.x a try ...
+
+
+hardware bugs
+-------------
+
+Some hardware can't deal with PCI-PCI transfers (i.e. grabber => vga).
+Sometimes problems show up with bttv just because of the high load on
+the PCI bus. The bt848/878 chips have a few workarounds for known
+incompatibilities, see README.quirks.
+
+Some folks report that increasing the pci latency helps too,
+althrought I'm not sure whenever this really fixes the problems or
+only makes it less likely to happen. Both bttv and btaudio have a
+insmod option to set the PCI latency of the device.
+
+Some mainboard have problems to deal correctly with multiple devices
+doing DMA at the same time. bttv + ide seems to cause this sometimes,
+if this is the case you likely see freezes only with video and hard disk
+access at the same time. Updating the IDE driver to get the latest and
+greatest workarounds for hardware bugs might fix these problems.
+
+
+other
+-----
+
+If you use some binary-only yunk (like nvidia module) try to reproduce
+the problem without.
+
+IRQ sharing is known to cause problems in some cases. It works just
+fine in theory and many configurations. Neverless it might be worth a
+try to shuffle around the PCI cards to give bttv another IRQ or make
+it share the IRQ with some other piece of hardware. IRQ sharing with
+VGA cards seems to cause trouble sometimes. I've also seen funny
+effects with bttv sharing the IRQ with the ACPI bridge (and
+apci-enabled kernel).

+Below is what the bt878 data book says about the PCI bug compatibility
+modes of the bt878 chip.
+
+The triton1 insmod option sets the EN_TBFX bit in the control register.
+The vsfx insmod option does the same for EN_VSFX bit. If you have
+stability problems you can try if one of these options makes your box
+work solid.
+
+drivers/pci/quirks.c knows about these issues, this way these bits are

+
+---------------------------- cut here --------------------------
+
+Normal PCI Mode
+---------------
+
+The PCI REQ signal is the logical-or of the incoming function requests.
+The inter-nal GNT[0:1] signals are gated asynchronously with GNT and
+demultiplexed by the audio request signal. Thus the arbiter defaults to
+the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for
+bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more
+often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus
+the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request
+after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted
+access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the
+bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is
+very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can
+tolerate.
+
+
+430FX Compatibility Mode
+------------------------
+
+When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure
+compatibility:
+
+ (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME.
+ (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after
+ finish-ing the previous transaction.
+
+Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a
+simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules.
+Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility
+mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in
+Device Control Register on page 104.
+
+When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility
+rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this
+internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once
+the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route
+only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock
+happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when
+FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on
+the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s
+responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the
+arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and
+not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may
+be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is
+idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue
+asynchronously until GNT is again asserted.
+
+
+Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction
+during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1
+compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI
+controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control
+Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT
+to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus
+transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This
+also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus
+parking, thus lowering arbitration performance. The Bt879 drivers must
+query for these non-compliant devices, and set the EN_VSFX bit only if
+required.

+
+bttv and sound mini howto
+=========================
+
+There are alot of different bt848/849/878/879 based boards available.
+Making video work often is not a big deal, because this is handled
+completely by the bt8xx chip, which is common on all boards. But
+sound is handled in slightly different ways on each board.
+
+To handle the grabber boards correctly, there is a array tvcards[] in
+bttv-cards.c, which holds the informations required for each board.
+Sound will work only, if the correct entry is used (for video it often
+makes no difference). The bttv driver prints a line to the kernel
+log, telling which card type is used. Like this one:
+
+ bttv0: model: BT848(Hauppauge old) [autodetected]
+
+You should verify this is correct. If it isn't, you have to pass the
+correct board type as insmod argument, "insmod bttv card=2" for
+example. The file CARDLIST has a list of valid arguments for card.
+If your card isn't listed there, you might check the source code for
+new entries which are not listed yet. If there isn't one for your
+card, you can check if one of the existing entries does work for you
+(just trial and error...).
+
+Some boards have an extra processor for sound to do stereo decoding
+and other nice features. The msp34xx chips are used by Hauppauge for
+example. If your board has one, you might have to load a helper
+module like msp3400.o to make sound work. If there isn't one for the
+chip used on your board: Bad luck. Start writing a new one. Well,
+you might want to check the video4linux mailing list archive first...
+
+Of course you need a correctly installed soundcard unless you have the
+speakers connected directly to the grabber board. Hint: check the
+mixer settings too. ALSA for example has everything muted by default.
+
+
+How sound works in detail
+=========================
+
+Still doesn't work? Looks like some driver hacking is required.
+Below is a do-it-yourself description for you.
+
+The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control
+these pins. One register is the output enable register
+(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN), it says which pins are actively driven by the
+bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), where
+you can get/set the status if these pins. They can be used for input
+and output.
+
+Most grabber board vendors use these pins to control an external chip
+which does the sound routing. But every board is a little different.
+These pins are also used by some companies to drive remote control
+receiver chips. Some boards use the i2c bus instead of the gpio pins
+to connect the mux chip.
+
+As mentioned above, there is a array which holds the required
+informations for each known board. You basically have to create a new
+line for your board. The important fields are these two:
+
+struct tvcard
+{
+ [ ... ]
+ u32 gpiomask;
+ u32 audiomux[6]; /* Tuner, Radio, external, internal, mute, stereo */
+};
+
+gpiomask specifies which pins are used to control the audio mux chip.
+The corresponding bits in the output enable register
+(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN) will be set as these pins must be driven by the
+bt848 chip.
+
+The audiomux[] array holds the data values for the different inputs
+(i.e. which pins must be high/low for tuner/mute/...). This will be
+written to the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA) to switch the audio
+mux.
+
+
+What you have to do is figure out the correct values for gpiomask and
+the audiomux array. If you have Windows and the drivers four your
+card installed, you might to check out if you can read these registers
+values used by the windows driver. A tool to do this is available
+from ftp://telepresence.dmem.strath.ac.uk/pub/bt848/winutil, but it
+does'nt work with bt878 boards according to some reports I received.
+Another one with bt878 suport is available from
+http://btwincap.sourceforge.net/Files/btspy2.00.zip
+
+You might also dig around in the *.ini files of the Windows applications.
+You can have a look at the board to see which of the gpio pins are
+connected at all and then start trial-and-error ...
+
+
+Starting with release 0.7.41 bttv has a number of insmod options to
+make the gpio debugging easier:
+
+bttv_gpio=0/1 enable/disable gpio debug messages
+gpiomask=n set the gpiomask value
+audiomux=i,j,... set the values of the audiomux array
+audioall=a set the values of the audiomux array (one
+ value for all array elements, useful to check
+ out which effect the particular value has).
+
+The messages printed with bttv_gpio=1 look like this:
+
+ bttv0: gpio: en=00000027, out=00000024 in=00ffffd8 [audio: off]
+
+en = output _en_able register (BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN)
+out = _out_put bits of the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA),
+ i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN
+in = _in_put bits of the data register,
+ i.e. BT848_GPIO_DATA & ~BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN
+
+
+
+Other elements of the tvcards array
+===================================
+
+If you are trying to make a new card work you might find it useful to
+know what the other elements in the tvcards array are good for:
+
+video_inputs - # of video inputs the card has
+audio_inputs - historical cruft, not used any more.
+tuner - which input is the tuner
+svhs - which input is svhs (all others are labeled composite)
+muxsel - video mux, input->registervalue mapping
+pll - same as pll= insmod option
+tuner_type - same as tuner= insmod option
+*_modulename - hint whenever some card needs this or that audio
+ module loaded to work properly.
+has_radio - whenever this TV card has a radio tuner.
+no_msp34xx - "1" disables loading of msp3400.o module
+no_tda9875 - "1" disables loading of tda9875.o module
+needs_tvaudio - set to "1" to load tvaudio.o module
+
+If some config item is specified both from the tvcards array and as
+insmod option, the insmod option takes precedence.
+
+
+
+Good luck,
+
+ Gerd

+
+This driver enable the use of video4linux compatible applications with the
+Motion Eye camera. This driver requires the "Sony Vaio Programmable I/O
+Control Device" driver (which can be found in the "Character drivers"
+section of the kernel configuration utility) to be compiled and installed
+(using its "camera=1" parameter).
+
+It can do at maximum 30 fps @ 320x240 or 15 fps @ 640x480.
+
+Grabbing is supported in packed YUV colorspace only.
+
+MJPEG hardware grabbing is supported via a private API (see below).
+
+Hardware supported:
+-------------------
+
+This driver supports the 'second' version of the MotionEye camera :)
+
+The first version was connected directly on the video bus of the Neomagic
+video card and is unsupported.
+
+The second one, made by Kawasaki Steel is fully supported by this
+driver (PCI vendor/device is 0x136b/0xff01)
+
+The third one, present in recent (more or less last year) Picturebooks
+(C1M* models), is not supported. The manufacturer has given the specs
+to the developers under a NDA (which allows the develoment of a GPL
+driver however), but things are not moving very fast (see
+http://r-engine.sourceforge.net/) (PCI vendor/device is 0x10cf/0x2011).

+There is a forth model connected on the USB bus in TR1* Vaio laptops.
+This camera is not supported at all by the current driver, in fact
+little information if any is available for this camera
+(USB vendor/device is 0x054c/0x0107).
+
+Driver options:
+---------------
+
+Several options can be passed to the meye driver using the standard
+module argument syntax (<param>=<value> when passing the option to the
+module or meye.<param>=<value> on the kernel boot line when meye is
+statically linked into the kernel). Those options are:
+
+ forcev4l1: force use of V4L1 API instead of V4L2
+
+ gbuffers: number of capture buffers, default is 2 (32 max)
+
+ gbufsize: size of each capture buffer, default is 614400
+
+ video_nr: video device to register (0 = /dev/video0, etc)
+
+Module use:
+-----------
+
+In order to automatically load the meye module on use, you can put those lines
+in your /etc/modprobe.conf file:
+
+ alias char-major-81 videodev
+ alias char-major-81-0 meye
+ options meye gbuffers=32
+
+Usage:
+------
+
+ xawtv >= 3.49 (<http://bytesex.org/xawtv/>)
+ for display and uncompressed video capture:
+
+ xawtv -c /dev/video0 -geometry 640x480
+ or
+ xawtv -c /dev/video0 -geometry 320x240
+
+ motioneye (<http://popies.net/meye/>)
+ for getting ppm or jpg snapshots, mjpeg video
+
+Private API:
+------------
+
+ The driver supports frame grabbing with the video4linux API
+ (either v4l1 or v4l2), so all video4linux tools (like xawtv)
+ should work with this driver.
+
+ Besides the video4linux interface, the driver has a private interface
+ for accessing the Motion Eye extended parameters (camera sharpness,
+ agc, video framerate), the shapshot and the MJPEG capture facilities.
+
+ This interface consists of several ioctls (prototypes and structures
+ can be found in include/linux/meye.h):
+
+ MEYEIOC_G_PARAMS
+ MEYEIOC_S_PARAMS
+ Get and set the extended parameters of the motion eye camera.
+ The user should always query the current parameters with
+ MEYEIOC_G_PARAMS, change what he likes and then issue the
+ MEYEIOC_S_PARAMS call (checking for -EINVAL). The extended
+ parameters are described by the meye_params structure.
+
+
+ MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT
+ Queue a buffer for capture (the buffers must have been
+ obtained with a VIDIOCGMBUF call and mmap'ed by the
+ application). The argument to MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT is the
+ buffer number to queue (or -1 to end capture). The first
+ call to MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT starts the streaming capture.
+
+ MEYEIOC_SYNC
+ Takes as an argument the buffer number you want to sync.
+ This ioctl blocks until the buffer is filled and ready
+ for the application to use. It returns the buffer size.
+
+ MEYEIOC_STILLCAPT
+ MEYEIOC_STILLJCAPT
+ Takes a snapshot in an uncompressed or compressed jpeg format.
+ This ioctl blocks until the snapshot is done and returns (for
+ jpeg snapshot) the size of the image. The image data is
+ available from the first mmap'ed buffer.
+
+ Look at the 'motioneye' application code for an actual example.
+
+Bugs / Todo:
+------------
+
+ - the driver could be much cleaned up by removing the v4l1 support.
+ However, this means all v4l1-only applications will stop working.
+
+ - 'motioneye' still uses the meye private v4l1 API extensions.

+NOTES ON RADIOTRACK CARD CONTROL
+by Stephen M. Benoit (benoits@servicepro.com) Dec 14, 1996
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Document version 1.0
+
+ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
+----------------
+This document was made based on 'C' code for Linux from Gideon le Grange
+(legrang@active.co.za or legrang@cs.sun.ac.za) in 1994, and elaborations from
+Frans Brinkman (brinkman@esd.nl) in 1996. The results reported here are from
+experiments that the author performed on his own setup, so your mileage may
+vary... I make no guarantees, claims or warranties to the suitability or
+validity of this information. No other documentation on the AIMS
+Lab (http://www.aimslab.com/) RadioTrack card was made available to the
+author. This document is offered in the hopes that it might help users who
+want to use the RadioTrack card in an environment other than MS Windows.
+
+WHY THIS DOCUMENT?
+------------------
+I have a RadioTrack card from back when I ran an MS-Windows platform. After
+converting to Linux, I found Gideon le Grange's command-line software for
+running the card, and found that it was good! Frans Brinkman made a
+comfortable X-windows interface, and added a scanning feature. For hack
+value, I wanted to see if the tuner could be tuned beyond the usual FM radio
+broadcast band, so I could pick up the audio carriers from North American
+broadcast TV channels, situated just below and above the 87.0-109.0 MHz range.
+I did not get much success, but I learned about programming ioports under
+Linux and gained some insights about the hardware design used for the card.
+
+So, without further delay, here are the details.
+
+
+PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
+--------------------
+The RadioTrack card is an ISA 8-bit FM radio card. The radio frequency (RF)
+input is simply an antenna lead, and the output is a power audio signal
+available through a miniature phone plug. Its RF frequencies of operation are
+more or less limited from 87.0 to 109.0 MHz (the commercial FM broadcast
+band). Although the registers can be programmed to request frequencies beyond
+these limits, experiments did not give promising results. The variable
+frequency oscillator (VFO) that demodulates the intermediate frequency (IF)
+signal probably has a small range of useful frequencies, and wraps around or
+gets clipped beyond the limits mentioned above.
+
+
+CONTROLLING THE CARD WITH IOPORT
+--------------------------------
+The RadioTrack (base) ioport is configurable for 0x30c or 0x20c. Only one
+ioport seems to be involved. The ioport decoding circuitry must be pretty
+simple, as individual ioport bits are directly matched to specific functions
+(or blocks) of the radio card. This way, many functions can be changed in
+parallel with one write to the ioport. The only feedback available through
+the ioports appears to be the "Stereo Detect" bit.
+
+The bits of the ioport are arranged as follows:
+
+ MSb LSb
++------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+
+| VolA | VolB | ???? | Stereo | Radio | TuneA | TuneB | Tune |
+| (+) | (-) | | Detect | Audio | (bit) | (latch) | Update |
+| | | | Enable | Enable | | | Enable |
++------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+
+
+
+VolA . VolB [AB......]
+-----------
+0 0 : audio mute
+0 1 : volume + (some delay required)
+1 0 : volume - (some delay required)
+1 1 : stay at present volume
+
+Stereo Detect Enable [...S....]
+--------------------
+0 : No Detect
+1 : Detect
+
+ Results available by reading ioport >60 msec after last port write.
+ 0xff ==> no stereo detected, 0xfd ==> stereo detected.
+
+Radio to Audio (path) Enable [....R...]
+----------------------------
+0 : Disable path (silence)
+1 : Enable path (audio produced)
+
+TuneA . TuneB [.....AB.]
+-------------
+0 0 : "zero" bit phase 1
+0 1 : "zero" bit phase 2
+
+1 0 : "one" bit phase 1
+1 1 : "one" bit phase 2
+
+ 24-bit code, where bits = (freq*40) + 10486188.
+ The Most Significant 11 bits must be 1010 xxxx 0x0 to be valid.
+ The bits are shifted in LSb first.
+
+Tune Update Enable [.......T]
+------------------
+0 : Tuner held constant
+1 : Tuner updating in progress
+
+
+PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES
+--------------------
+Default: BASE <-- 0xc8 (current volume, no stereo detect,
+ radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
+
+Card Off: BASE <-- 0x00 (audio mute, no stereo detect,
+ radio disable, tuner adjust disable)
+
+Card On: BASE <-- 0x00 (see "Card Off", clears any unfinished business)
+ BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
+
+Volume Down: BASE <-- 0x48 (volume down, no stereo detect,
+ radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
+ * wait 10 msec *
+ BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
+
+Volume Up: BASE <-- 0x88 (volume up, no stereo detect,
+ radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
+ * wait 10 msec *
+ BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
+
+Check Stereo: BASE <-- 0xd8 (current volume, stereo detect,
+ radio enable, tuner adjust disable)
+ * wait 100 msec *
+ x <-- BASE (read ioport)
+ BASE <-- 0xc8 (see "Default")
+
+ x=0xff ==> "not stereo", x=0xfd ==> "stereo detected"
+
+Set Frequency: code = (freq*40) + 10486188
+ foreach of the 24 bits in code,
+ (from Least to Most Significant):
+ to write a "zero" bit,
+ BASE <-- 0x01 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio
+ disable, "zero" bit phase 1, tuner adjust)
+ BASE <-- 0x03 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio
+ disable, "zero" bit phase 2, tuner adjust)
+ to write a "one" bit,
+ BASE <-- 0x05 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio
+ disable, "one" bit phase 1, tuner adjust)
+ BASE <-- 0x07 (audio mute, no stereo detect, radio
+ disable, "one" bit phase 2, tuner adjust)

+W9966 Camera driver, written by Jakob Kemi (jakob.kemi@telia.com)
+
+After a lot of work in softice & wdasm, reading .pdf-files and tiresome
+trial-and-error work I've finally got everything to work. I needed vision for a
+robotics project so I borrowed this camera from a friend and started hacking.
+Anyway I've converted my original code from the AVR 8bit RISC C/ASM code into
+a working Linux driver.
+
+To get it working simply configure your kernel to support
+parport, ieee1284, video4linux and w9966
+
+If w9966 is statically linked it will always perform aggressive probing for
+the camera. If built as a module you'll have more configuration options.
+
+Options:
+ modprobe w9966.o pardev=parport0(or whatever) parmode=0 (0=auto, 1=ecp, 2=epp)
+voila!
+
+you can also type 'modinfo -p w9966.o' for option usage
+(or checkout w9966.c)
+
+The only thing to keep in mind is that the image format is in Y-U-Y-V format
+where every two pixels take 4 bytes. In SDL (www.libsdl.org) this format
+is called VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV422 (16 bpp).
+
+A minimal test application (with source) is available from:
+ http://hem.fyristorg.com/mogul/w9966.html
+
+The slow framerate is due to missing DMA ECP read support in the
+parport drivers. I might add working EPP support later.
+
+Good luck!

+Driver for Trust Computer Products Framegrabber, version 0.6.1
+------ --- ----- -------- -------- ------------ ------- - - -
+
+- ZORAN ------------------------------------------------------
+ Author: Pauline Middelink <middelin@polyware.nl>
+ Date: 18 September 1999
+Version: 0.6.1
+
+- Description ------------------------------------------------
+
+Video4Linux compatible driver for an unknown brand framegrabber
+(Sold in the Netherlands by TRUST Computer Products) and various
+other zoran zr36120 based framegrabbers.
+
+The card contains a ZR36120 Multimedia PCI Interface and a Philips
+SAA7110 Onechip Frontend videodecoder. There is also an DSP of
+which I have forgotten the number, since i will never get that thing
+to work without specs from the vendor itself.
+
+The SAA711x are capable of processing 6 different video inputs,
+CVBS1..6 and Y1+C1, Y2+C2, Y3+C3. All in 50/60Hz, NTSC, PAL or
+SECAM and delivering a YUV datastream. On my card the input
+'CVBS-0' corresponds to channel CVBS2 and 'S-Video' to Y2+C2.
+
+I have some reports of other cards working with the mentioned
+chip sets. For a list of other working cards please have a look
+at the cards named in the tvcards struct in the beginning of
+zr36120.c
+
+After some testing, I discovered that the carddesigner messed up
+on the I2C interface. The Zoran chip includes 2 lines SDA and SCL
+which (s)he connected reversely. So we have to clock on the SDA
+and r/w data on the SCL pin. Life is fun... Each cardtype now has
+a bit which signifies if you have a card with the same deficiency.
+
+Oh, for the completeness of this story I must mention that my
+card delivers the VSYNC pulse of the SAA chip to GIRQ1, not
+GIRQ0 as some other cards have. This is also incorporated in
+the driver be clearing/setting the 'useirq1' bit in the tvcard
+description.
+
+Another problems of continuous capturing data with a Zoran chip
+is something nasty inside the chip. It effectively halves the
+fps we ought to get... Here is the scenario: capturing frames
+to memory is done in the so-called snapshot mode. In this mode
+the Zoran stops after capturing a frame worth of data and wait
+till the application set GRAB bit to indicate readiness for the
+next frame. After detecting a set bit, the chip neatly waits
+till the start of a frame, captures it and it goes back to off.
+Smart ppl will notice the problem here. Its the waiting on the
+_next_ frame each time we set the GRAB bit... Oh well, 12,5 fps
+is still plenty fast for me.
+-- update 28/7/1999 --
+Don't believe a word I just said... Proof is the output
+of `streamer -t 300 -r 25 -f avi15 -o /dev/null`

+ syncer: done
+ writer: done
+(note the /dev/null is prudent here, my system is not able to
+ grab /and/ write 25 fps to a file... gifts welcome :) )
+The technical reasoning follows: The zoran completed the last
+frame, the VSYNC goes low, and GRAB is cleared. The interrupt
+routine starts to work since its VSYNC driven, and again
+activates the GRAB bit. A few ms later the VSYNC (re-)rises and
+the zoran starts to work on a new and freshly broadcasted frame....
+
+For pointers I used the specs of both chips. Below are the URLs:
+ http://www.zoran.com/ftp/download/devices/pci/ZR36120/36120data.pdf
+ http://www-us.semiconductor.philips.com/acrobat/datasheets/SAA_7110_A_1.pdf
+
+The documentation has very little on absolute numbers or timings
+needed for the various modes/resolutions, but there are other
+programs you can borrow those from.
+
+------ Install --------------------------------------------
+Read the file called TODO. Note its long list of limitations.
+
+Build a kernel with VIDEO4LINUX enabled. Activate the
+BT848 driver; we need this because we have need for the
+other modules (i2c and videodev) it enables.
+
+To install this software, extract it into a suitable directory.
+Examine the makefile and change anything you don't like. Type "make".
+
+After making the modules check if you have the much needed
+/dev/video devices. If not, execute the following 4 lines:
+ mknod /dev/video c 81 0
+ mknod /dev/video1 c 81 1
+ mknod /dev/video2 c 81 2
+ mknod /dev/video3 c 81 3
+ mknod /dev/video4 c 81 4
+
+After making/checking the devices do:
+ modprobe i2c
+ modprobe videodev
+ modprobe saa7110 (optional)
+ modprobe saa7111 (optional)
+ modprobe tuner (optional)
+ insmod zoran cardtype=<n>
+
+<n> is the cardtype of the card you have. The cardnumber can
+be found in the source of zr36120. Look for tvcards. If your
+card is not there, please try if any other card gives some
+response, and mail me if you got a working tvcard addition.
+
+PS. <TVCard editors behold!)
+ Dont forget to set video_input to the number of inputs
+ you defined in the video_mux part of the tvcard definition.
+ Its a common error to add a channel but not incrementing
+ video_input and getting angry with me/v4l/linux/linus :(
+
+You are now ready to test the framegrabber with your favorite
+video4linux compatible tool
+
+------ Application ----------------------------------------
+
+This device works with all Video4Linux compatible applications,
+given the limitations in the TODO file.
+
+------ API ------------------------------------------------
+
+This uses the V4L interface as of kernel release 2.1.116, and in
+fact has not been tested on any lower version. There are a couple
+of minor differences due to the fact that the amount of data returned
+with each frame varies, and no doubt there are discrepancies due to my
+misunderstanding of the API. I intend to convert this driver to the
+new V4L2 API when it has stabilized more.
+
+------ Current state --------------------------------------
+
+The driver is capable of overlaying a video image in screen, and
+even capable of grabbing frames. It uses the BIGPHYSAREA patch
+to allocate lots of large memory blocks when tis patch is
+found in the kernel, but it doesn't need it.
+The consequence is that, when loading the driver as a module,
+the module may tell you it's out of memory, but 'free' says
+otherwise. The reason is simple; the modules wants its memory
+contiguous, not fragmented, and after a long uptime there
+probably isn't a fragment of memory large enough...
+
+The driver uses a double buffering scheme, which should really
+be an n-way buffer, depending on the size of allocated framebuffer
+and the requested grab-size/format.
+This current version also fixes a dead-lock situation during irq
+time, which really, really froze my system... :)
+
+Good luck.
+ Pauline
