			The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now, no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook. This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

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

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

 | |
| has already been informally specified in the kernel sources in the
 | |
| file <filename>Documentation/video4linux/cx2341x/README.vbi</filename>
 | |
| .  The maximum size of the payload and other aspects of this format
 | |
| are driven by the CX23415 MPEG decoder's capabilities and limitations
 | |
| with respect to extracting, decoding, and displaying sliced VBI data
 | |
| embedded within an MPEG stream.</para>
 | |
| 
 | |
|     <para>This format's use is <emphasis>not</emphasis> exclusive to
 | |
| the <filename>ivtv</filename> driver <emphasis>nor</emphasis>
 | |
| exclusive to CX2341x devices, as the sliced VBI data packet insertion
 | |
| into the MPEG stream is implemented in driver software.  At least the
 | |
| <filename>cx18</filename> driver provides sliced VBI data insertion
 | |
| into an MPEG-2 PS in this format as well.</para>
 | |
| 
 | |
|     <para>The following definitions specify the payload of the
