<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Applications can use the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> and
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant> ioctl to get and set the
|
|
framebuffer parameters for a <link linkend="overlay">Video
|
|
Overlay</link> or <link linkend="osd">Video Output Overlay</link>
|
|
(OSD). The type of overlay is implied by the device type (capture or
|
|
output device) and can be determined with the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.
|
|
One <filename>/dev/videoN</filename> device must not support both
|
|
kinds of overlay.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The V4L2 API distinguishes destructive and non-destructive
|
|
overlays. A destructive overlay copies captured video images into the
|
|
video memory of a graphics card. A non-destructive overlay blends
|
|
video images into a VGA signal or graphics into a video signal.
|
|
<wordasword>Video Output Overlays</wordasword> are always
|
|
non-destructive.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To get the current parameters applications call the
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> ioctl with a pointer to a
|
|
<structname>v4l2_framebuffer</structname> structure. The driver fills
|
|
all fields of the structure or returns an &EINVAL; when overlays are
|
|
not supported.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To set the parameters for a <wordasword>Video Output
|
|
Overlay</wordasword>, applications must initialize the
|
|
<structfield>flags</structfield> field of a struct
|
|
<structname>v4l2_framebuffer</structname>. Since the framebuffer is
|
|
implemented on the TV card all other parameters are determined by the
|
|
driver. When an application calls <constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant>
|
|
with a pointer to this structure, the driver prepares for the overlay
|
|
and returns the framebuffer parameters as
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> does, or it returns an error
|
|
code.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To set the parameters for a <wordasword>non-destructive
|
|
Video Overlay</wordasword>, applications must initialize the
|
|
<structfield>flags</structfield> field, the
|
|
<structfield>fmt</structfield> substructure, and call
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FBUF</constant>. Again the driver prepares for the
|
|
overlay and returns the framebuffer parameters as
|
|
<constant>VIDIOC_G_FBUF</constant> does, or it returns an error
|
|
code.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For a <wordasword>destructive Video Overlay</wordasword>
|
|
applications must additionally provide a
|
|
<structfield>base</structfield> address. Setting up a DMA to a
|
|
random memory location can jeopardize the system security, its
|
|
stability or even damage the hardware, therefore only the superuser
|
|
can set the parameters for a destructive video overlay.</para>
