Try not to break it. */ #define DV1394_API_VERSION 0x20011127 /* ******************** ** ** ** DV1394 API ** ** ** ******************** There are two methods of operating the DV1394 DV output device. 1) The simplest is an interface based on write(): simply write full DV frames of data to the device, and they will be transmitted as quickly as possible. The FD may be set for non-blocking I/O, in which case you can use select() or poll() to wait for output buffer space. To set the DV output parameters (e.g. whether you want NTSC or PAL video), use the DV1394_INIT ioctl, passing in the parameters you want in a struct dv1394_init. Example 1: To play a raw .DV file: cat foo.DV > /dev/dv1394 (cat will use write() internally) Example 2: static struct dv1394_init init = { 0x63, (broadcast channel) 4, (four-frame ringbuffer) DV1394_NTSC, (send NTSC video) 0, 0 (default empty packet rate) } ioctl(fd, DV1394_INIT, &init); while(1) { read( , buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE ); write( , buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE ); } 2) For more control over buffering, and to avoid unnecessary copies of the DV data, you can use the more sophisticated the mmap() interface. First, call the DV1394_INIT ioctl to specify your parameters, including the number of frames in the ringbuffer. Then, calling mmap() on the dv1394 device will give you direct access to the ringbuffer from which the DV card reads your frame data. The ringbuffer is simply one large, contiguous region of memory containing two or more frames of packed DV data. Each frame of DV data is 120000 bytes (NTSC) or 144000 bytes (PAL). Fill one or more frames in the ringbuffer, then use the DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES ioctl to begin I/O. You can use either the DV1394_WAIT_FRAMES ioctl or select()/poll() to wait until the frames are transmitted. Next, you'll need to call the DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl to determine which ringbuffer frames are clear (ready to be filled with new DV data). Finally, use DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES again to send the new data to the DV output. Example: here is what a four-frame ringbuffer might look like during DV transmission: frame 0 frame 1 frame 2 frame 3 *--------------------------------------* | CLEAR | DV data | DV data | CLEAR | *--------------------------------------* transmission goes in this direction --->>> The DV hardware is currently transmitting the data in frame 1. Once frame 1 is finished, it will automatically transmit frame 2. (if frame 2 finishes before frame 3 is submitted, the device will continue to transmit frame 2, and will increase the dropped_frames counter each time it repeats the transmission). If you called DV1394_GET_STATUS at this instant, you would receive the following values: n_frames = 4 active_frame = 1 first_clear_frame = 3 n_clear_frames = 2 At this point, you should write new DV data into frame 3 and optionally frame 0. Then call DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES to inform the device that it may transmit the new frames. */ /* maximum number of frames in the ringbuffer */ #define DV1394_MAX_FRAMES 32 /* number of *full* isochronous packets per DV frame */ #define DV1394_NTSC_PACKETS_PER_FRAME 250 #define DV1394_PAL_PACKETS_PER_FRAME 300 /* size of one frame's worth of DV data, in bytes */ #define DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE (480 * DV1394_NTSC_PACKETS_PER_FRAME) #define DV1394_PAL_FRAME_SIZE (480 * DV1394_PAL_PACKETS_PER_FRAME) enum pal_or_ntsc { DV1394_NTSC = 0, DV1394_PAL }; /* this is the argument to DV1394_INIT */ struct dv1394_init { /* DV1394_API_VERSION */ unsigned int api_version; /* isochronous transmission channel to use */ unsigned int channel; /* number of frames in the ringbuffer.

To achieve the correct rate of data transmission, DV devices must periodically insert empty packets into the 1394 data stream. Typically there is one empty packet per 14-16 data-carrying packets. Some DV devices will accept a wide range of empty packet rates, while others require a precise rate. If the dv1394 driver produces empty packets at a rate that your device does not accept, you may see ugly patterns on the DV output, or even no output at all. The default empty packet insertion rate seems to work for many people; if your DV output is stable, you can simply ignore this discussion. However, we have exposed the empty packet rate as a parameter to support devices that do not work with the default rate. The decision to insert an empty packet is made with a numerator/denominator algorithm. Empty packets are produced at an average rate of CIP_N / CIP_D. You can alter the empty packet rate by passing non-zero values for cip_n and cip_d to the INIT ioctl. */ struct dv1394_status { /* this embedded init struct returns the current dv1394 parameters in use */ struct dv1394_init init; /* the ringbuffer frame that is currently being displayed.
