The VCD can 10 capture a frame from digital video input and compare two frames in memory, and 11 the ECE can compress the frame data into HEXTILE format. 12 13 Driver-specific Controls 14 ------------------------ 15 16 V4L2_CID_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE 17 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 18 19 The VCD engine supports two modes: 20 21 - COMPLETE mode: 22 23 Capture the next complete frame into memory. 24 25 - DIFF mode: 26 27 Compare the incoming frame with the frame stored in memory, and updates the 28 differentiated frame in memory. 29 30 Application can use ``V4L2_CID_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE`` control to set the VCD mode 31 with different control values (enum v4l2_npcm_capture_mode): 32 33 - ``V4L2_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE_COMPLETE``: will set VCD to COMPLETE mode. 34 - ``V4L2_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE_DIFF``: will set VCD to DIFF mode. 35 36 V4L2_CID_NPCM_RECT_COUNT 37 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 38 39 If using V4L2_PIX_FMT_HEXTILE format, VCD will capture frame data and then ECE 40 will compress the data into HEXTILE rectangles and store them in V4L2 video 41 buffer with the layout defined in Remote Framebuffer Protocol: 42 :: 43 44 (RFC 6143, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6143.html#section-7.6.1) 45 46 +--------------+--------------+-------------------+ 47 | No. of bytes | Type [Value] | Description | 48 +--------------+--------------+-------------------+ 49 | 2 | U16 | x-position | 50 | 2 | U16 | y-position | 51 | 2 | U16 | width | 52 | 2 | U16 | height | 53 | 4 | S32 | encoding-type (5) | 54 +--------------+--------------+-------------------+ 55 | HEXTILE rectangle data | 56 +-------------------------------------------------+ 57 58 Application can get the video buffer through VIDIOC_DQBUF, and followed by 59 calling ``V4L2_CID_NPCM_RECT_COUNT`` control to get the number of HEXTILE 60 rectangles in this buffer. 61 62 References 63 ---------- 64 include/uapi/linux/npcm-video.h 65 66 **Copyright** |copy| 2022 Nuvoton Technologies
