Subject: [PATCH v9 4/5] media: pixfmt: Document the HEVC slice pixel format
Date: Tue, 22 Oct 2019 17:26:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191022152654.1999355-5-paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191022152654.1999355-1-paul.kocialkowski@bootlin.com>
Document the current state of the HEVC slice pixel format.
The format will need to evolve in the future, which is why it is
not part of the public API.

+ This format is adapted for stateless video decoders that implement a
+ HEVC pipeline (using the :ref:`mem2mem` and :ref:`media-request-api`).
+ This pixelformat has two modifiers that must be set at least once
+ through the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_DECODE_MODE``
+ and ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_START_CODE`` controls.
+ Metadata associated with the frame to decode is required to be passed
+ through the following controls :
+ * ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_SPS``
+ * ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_PPS``
+ * ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_HEVC_SLICE_PARAMS``
+ See the :ref:`associated Codec Control IDs <v4l2-mpeg-hevc>`.
+ Buffers associated with this pixel format must contain the appropriate
+ number of macroblocks to decode a full corresponding frame.

+ This format is not yet part of the public kernel API and it
+ is expected to change.
