1	  <title>Sliced VBI Data Interface</title>
2	
3	  <para>VBI stands for Vertical Blanking Interval, a gap in the
4	sequence of lines of an analog video signal. During VBI no picture
5	information is transmitted, allowing some time while the electron beam
6	of a cathode ray tube TV returns to the top of the screen.</para>
7	
8	  <para>Sliced VBI devices use hardware to demodulate data transmitted
9	in the VBI. V4L2 drivers shall <emphasis>not</emphasis> do this by
10	software, see also the <link linkend="raw-vbi">raw VBI
11	interface</link>. The data is passed as short packets of fixed size,
12	covering one scan line each. The number of packets per video frame is
13	variable.</para>
14	
15	  <para>Sliced VBI capture and output devices are accessed through the
16	same character special files as raw VBI devices. When a driver
17	supports both interfaces, the default function of a
18	<filename>/dev/vbi</filename> device is <emphasis>raw</emphasis> VBI
19	capturing or output, and the sliced VBI function is only available
20	after calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl as defined below. Likewise a
21	<filename>/dev/video</filename> device may support the sliced VBI API,
22	however the default function here is video capturing or output.
23	Different file descriptors must be used to pass raw and sliced VBI
24	data simultaneously, if this is supported by the driver.</para>

30	set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or
31	<constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT</constant> flag respectively, in
32	the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
33	returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. At least one of the
34	read/write, streaming or asynchronous <link linkend="io">I/O
35	methods</link> must be supported. Sliced VBI devices may have a tuner
36	or modulator.</para>

54	    <para>To find out which data services are supported by the
55	hardware applications can call the &VIDIOC-G-SLICED-VBI-CAP; ioctl.
56	All drivers implementing the sliced VBI interface must support this
57	ioctl. The results may differ from those of the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl
58	when the number of VBI lines the hardware can capture or output per
59	frame, or the number of services it can identify on a given line are
60	limited. For example on PAL line 16 the hardware may be able to look
61	for a VPS or Teletext signal, but not both at the same time.</para>
62	
63	    <para>To determine the currently selected services applications
64	set the <structfield>type </structfield> field of &v4l2-format; to
65	<constant> V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or <constant>
66	V4L2_BUF_TYPE_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT</constant>, and the &VIDIOC-G-FMT;
67	ioctl fills the <structfield>fmt.sliced</structfield> member, a
68	&v4l2-sliced-vbi-format;.</para>
69	
70	    <para>Applications can request different parameters by
71	initializing or modifying the <structfield>fmt.sliced</structfield>
72	member and calling the &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl with a pointer to the
73	<structname>v4l2_format</structname> structure.</para>
74	
75	    <para>The sliced VBI API is more complicated than the raw VBI API
76	because the hardware must be told which VBI service to expect on each
77	scan line. Not all services may be supported by the hardware on all
78	lines (this is especially true for VBI output where Teletext is often
79	unsupported and other services can only be inserted in one specific
80	line). In many cases, however, it is sufficient to just set the
81	<structfield>service_set</structfield> field to the required services
82	and let the driver fill the <structfield>service_lines</structfield>
83	array according to hardware capabilities. Only if more precise control
84	is needed should the programmer set the
85	<structfield>service_lines</structfield> array explicitly.</para>
86	
87	    <para>The &VIDIOC-S-FMT; ioctl modifies the parameters
88	according to hardware capabilities. When the driver allocates
89	resources at this point, it may return an &EBUSY; if the required
90	resources are temporarily unavailable. Other resource allocation
91	points which may return <errorcode>EBUSY</errorcode> can be the
92	&VIDIOC-STREAMON; ioctl and the first &func-read;, &func-write; and
93	&func-select; call.</para>

450	
451	    <para><emphasis>Historical context</emphasis>: This format
452	specification originates from a custom, embedded, sliced VBI data
453	format used by the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver.  This format
454	has already been informally specified in the kernel sources in the
455	file <filename>Documentation/video4linux/cx2341x/README.vbi</filename>
456	.  The maximum size of the payload and other aspects of this format
457	are driven by the CX23415 MPEG decoder's capabilities and limitations
458	with respect to extracting, decoding, and displaying sliced VBI data
459	embedded within an MPEG stream.</para>
460	
461	    <para>This format's use is <emphasis>not</emphasis> exclusive to
462	the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver <emphasis>nor</emphasis>
463	exclusive to CX2341x devices, as the sliced VBI data packet insertion
464	into the MPEG stream is implemented in driver software.  At least the
465	<filename>cx18</filename> driver provides sliced VBI data insertion
466	into an MPEG-2 PS in this format as well.</para>
467	
468	    <para>The following definitions specify the payload of the
469	MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES</emphasis> packets that contain
470	sliced VBI data when <link linkend="v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt">
471	<constant>V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV</constant></link> is set.
472	(The MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES</emphasis> packet header
473	and encapsulating MPEG-2 <emphasis>Program Pack</emphasis> header are
474	not detailed here.  Please refer to the MPEG-2 specifications for
475	details on those packet headers.)</para>
476	
477	    <para>The payload of the MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES
478	</emphasis> packets that contain sliced VBI data is specified by
479	&v4l2-mpeg-vbi-fmt-ivtv;.  The payload is variable
480	length, depending on the actual number of lines of sliced VBI data
481	present in a video frame.  The payload may be padded at the end with
482	unspecified fill bytes to align the end of the payload to a 4-byte
483	boundary.  The payload shall never exceed 1552 bytes (2 fields with
484	18 lines/field with 43 bytes of data/line and a 4 byte magic number).
