=====================================
This driver emulates video4linux hardware of various types: video capture, video
-output, vbi capture and output, radio receivers and transmitters and a software
-defined radio receiver. In addition a simple framebuffer device is available for
-testing capture and output overlays.
+output, vbi capture and output, metadata capture and output, radio receivers and
+transmitters, touch capture and a software defined radio receiver. In addition a
+simple framebuffer device is available for testing capture and output overlays.
Up to 64 vivid instances can be created, each with up to 16 inputs and 16 outputs.
- Radio receiver and transmitter support, including RDS support
- Software defined radio (SDR) support
- Capture and output overlay support
+- Metadata capture and output support
+- Touch capture support
These features will be described in more detail below.
- bit 10-11: VBI Output node: 0 = none, 1 = raw vbi, 2 = sliced vbi, 3 = both
- bit 12: Radio Transmitter node
- bit 16: Framebuffer for testing overlays
+ - bit 17: Metadata Capture node
+ - bit 18: Metadata Output node
+ - bit 19: Touch Capture node
So to create four instances, the first two with just one video capture
device, the second two with just one video output device you would pass
give the desired swradioX start number for each SDR capture device.
The default is -1 which will just take the first free number.
+- meta_cap_nr:
+
+ give the desired videoX start number for each metadata capture device.
+ The default is -1 which will just take the first free number.
+
+- meta_out_nr:
+
+ give the desired videoX start number for each metadata output device.
+ The default is -1 which will just take the first free number.
+
+- touch_cap_nr:
+
+ give the desired v4l-touchX start number for each touch capture device.
+ The default is -1 which will just take the first free number.
+
- ccs_cap_mode:
specify the allowed video capture crop/compose/scaling combination
1 kHz tone that has an amplitude of sqrt(2).
+Metadata Capture
+----------------
+
+The Metadata capture generates UVC format metadata. The PTS and SCR are
+transmitted based on the values set in vivid contols.
+
+The Metadata device will only work for the Webcam input, it will give
+back an error for all other inputs.
+
+
+Metadata Output
+---------------
+
+The Metadata output can be used to set brightness, contrast, saturation and hue.
+
+The Metadata device will only work for the Webcam output, it will give
+back an error for all other outputs.
+
+
+Touch Capture
+-------------
+
+The Touch capture generates touch patterns simulating single tap, double tap,
+triple tap, move from left to right, zoom in, zoom out, palm press (simulating
+a large area being pressed on a touchpad), and simulating 16 simultaneous
+touch points.
+
Controls
--------
to pass the RDS blocks to the driver, or "Controls" where the RDS data
is Provided by the RDS controls mentioned above.
+Metadata Capture Controls
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Generate PTS
+
+ if set, then the generated metadata stream contains Presentation timestamp.
+
+- Generate SCR
+
+ if set, then the generated metadata stream contains Source Clock information.
