/* ********************
47
There are two methods of operating the DV1394 DV output device.
51
The simplest is an interface based on write(): simply write
52
full DV frames of data to the device, and they will be transmitted
53
as quickly as possible. The FD may be set for non-blocking I/O,
54
in which case you can use select() or poll() to wait for output
57
To set the DV output parameters (e.g. whether you want NTSC or PAL
58
video), use the DV1394_INIT ioctl, passing in the parameters you
59
want in a struct dv1394_init.
62
To play a raw .DV file: cat foo.DV > /dev/dv1394
63
(cat will use write() internally)
66
static struct dv1394_init init = {
67
0x63, (broadcast channel)
68
4, (four-frame ringbuffer)
69
DV1394_NTSC, (send NTSC video)
70
0, 0 (default empty packet rate)
73
ioctl(fd, DV1394_INIT, &init);
76
read( <a raw DV file>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
77
write( <the dv1394 FD>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
82
For more control over buffering, and to avoid unnecessary copies
83
of the DV data, you can use the more sophisticated the mmap() interface.
84
First, call the DV1394_INIT ioctl to specify your parameters,
85
including the number of frames in the ringbuffer. Then, calling mmap()
86
on the dv1394 device will give you direct access to the ringbuffer
87
from which the DV card reads your frame data.
89
The ringbuffer is simply one large, contiguous region of memory
90
containing two or more frames of packed DV data. Each frame of DV data
91
is 120000 bytes (NTSC) or 144000 bytes (PAL).
93
Fill one or more frames in the ringbuffer, then use the DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES
94
ioctl to begin I/O. You can use either the DV1394_WAIT_FRAMES ioctl
95
or select()/poll() to wait until the frames are transmitted. Next, you'll
96
need to call the DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl to determine which ringbuffer
97
frames are clear (ready to be filled with new DV data). Finally, use
98
DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES again to send the new data to the DV output.
101
Example: here is what a four-frame ringbuffer might look like
102
during DV transmission:
105
frame 0 frame 1 frame 2 frame 3
107
*--------------------------------------*
108
| CLEAR | DV data | DV data | CLEAR |
109
*--------------------------------------*
112
transmission goes in this direction --->>>
115
The DV hardware is currently transmitting the data in frame 1.
116
Once frame 1 is finished, it will automatically transmit frame 2.
117
(if frame 2 finishes before frame 3 is submitted, the device
118
will continue to transmit frame 2, and will increase the dropped_frames
119
counter each time it repeats the transmission).
122
If you called DV1394_GET_STATUS at this instant, you would
123
receive the following values:
127
first_clear_frame = 3
130
At this point, you should write new DV data into frame 3 and optionally
131
frame 0. Then call DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES to inform the device that
132
it may transmit the new frames.
136
An error (buffer underflow/overflow or a break in the DV stream due
137
to a 1394 bus reset) can be detected by checking the dropped_frames
138
field of struct dv1394_status (obtained through the
139
DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl).
141
The best way to recover from such an error is to re-initialize
142
dv1394, either by using the DV1394_INIT ioctl call, or closing the
143
file descriptor and opening it again. (note that you must unmap all
144
ringbuffer mappings when closing the file descriptor, or else
145
dv1394 will still be considered 'in use').
149
For maximum efficiency and robustness against bus errors, you are
150
advised to model the main loop of your application after the
151
following pseudo-code example:
153
(checks of system call return values omitted for brevity; always
154
check return values in your code!)
156
while( frames left ) {
158
struct pollfd *pfd = ...;
162
pfd->events = POLLOUT | POLLIN; (OUT for transmit, IN for receive)
164
(add other sources of I/O here)
166
poll(pfd, 1, -1); (or select(); add a timeout if you want)
169
struct dv1394_status status;
171
ioctl(dv1394_fd, DV1394_GET_STATUS, &status);
173
if(status.dropped_frames > 0) {
176
for(int i = 0; i < status.n_clear_frames; i++) {
183
where copy_DV_frame() reads or writes on the dv1394 file descriptor
184
(read/write mode) or copies data to/from the mmap ringbuffer and
185
then calls ioctl(DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES) to notify dv1394 that new
186
frames are availble (mmap mode).
188
reset_dv1394() is called in the event of a buffer
189
underflow/overflow or a halt in the DV stream (e.g. due to a 1394
190
bus reset). To guarantee recovery from the error, this function
191
should close the dv1394 file descriptor (and munmap() all
192
ringbuffer mappings, if you are using them), then re-open the
193
dv1394 device (and re-map the ringbuffer).

297
/* Q: What are cip_n and cip_d? */
300
A: DV video streams do not utilize 100% of the potential bandwidth offered
301
by IEEE 1394 (FireWire). To achieve the correct rate of data transmission,
302
DV devices must periodically insert empty packets into the 1394 data stream.
303
Typically there is one empty packet per 14-16 data-carrying packets.
305
Some DV devices will accept a wide range of empty packet rates, while others
306
require a precise rate. If the dv1394 driver produces empty packets at
307
a rate that your device does not accept, you may see ugly patterns on the
308
DV output, or even no output at all.
310
The default empty packet insertion rate seems to work for many people; if
311
your DV output is stable, you can simply ignore this discussion. However,
312
we have exposed the empty packet rate as a parameter to support devices that
313
do not work with the default rate.
315
The decision to insert an empty packet is made with a numerator/denominator
316
algorithm. Empty packets are produced at an average rate of CIP_N / CIP_D.
317
You can alter the empty packet rate by passing non-zero values for cip_n
318
and cip_d to the INIT ioctl.
