47  ********************
48 
49  There are two methods of operating the DV1394 DV output device.
50 
51  1)
52 
53  The simplest is an interface based on write(): simply write
54  full DV frames of data to the device, and they will be transmitted
55  as quickly as possible. The FD may be set for non-blocking I/O,
56  in which case you can use select() or poll() to wait for output
57  buffer space.
58 
59  To set the DV output parameters (e.g. whether you want NTSC or PAL
60  video), use the DV1394_INIT ioctl, passing in the parameters you
61  want in a struct dv1394_init.
62 
63  Example 1:
64  To play a raw .DV file: cat foo.DV > /dev/dv1394
65  (cat will use write() internally)
66 
67  Example 2:
68  static struct dv1394_init init = {
69  0x63, (broadcast channel)
70  4, (four-frame ringbuffer)
71  DV1394_NTSC, (send NTSC video)
72  0, 0 (default empty packet rate)
73  }
74 
75  ioctl(fd, DV1394_INIT, &init);
76 
77  while(1) {
78  read( <a raw DV file>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
79  write( <the dv1394 FD>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
80  }
81 
82  2)
83 
84  For more control over buffering, and to avoid unnecessary copies
85  of the DV data, you can use the more sophisticated the mmap() interface.
86  First, call the DV1394_INIT ioctl to specify your parameters,
87  including the number of frames in the ringbuffer. Then, calling mmap()
88  on the dv1394 device will give you direct access to the ringbuffer
89  from which the DV card reads your frame data.
90 
91  The ringbuffer is simply one large, contiguous region of memory
92  containing two or more frames of packed DV data. Each frame of DV data
93  is 120000 bytes (NTSC) or 144000 bytes (PAL).
94 
95  Fill one or more frames in the ringbuffer, then use the DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES
96  ioctl to begin I/O. You can use either the DV1394_WAIT_FRAMES ioctl
97  or select()/poll() to wait until the frames are transmitted. Next, you'll
98  need to call the DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl to determine which ringbuffer
99  frames are clear (ready to be filled with new DV data). Finally, use
100  DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES again to send the new data to the DV output.
101 
102 
103  Example: here is what a four-frame ringbuffer might look like
104  during DV transmission:
105 
106 
107  frame 0 frame 1 frame 2 frame 3
108 
109  *--------------------------------------*
110  | CLEAR | DV data | DV data | CLEAR |
111  *--------------------------------------*
112  <ACTIVE>
113 
114  transmission goes in this direction --->>>
115 
116 
117  The DV hardware is currently transmitting the data in frame 1.
118  Once frame 1 is finished, it will automatically transmit frame 2.
119  (if frame 2 finishes before frame 3 is submitted, the device
120  will continue to transmit frame 2, and will increase the dropped_frames
121  counter each time it repeats the transmission).
122 
123 
124  If you called DV1394_GET_STATUS at this instant, you would
125  receive the following values:
126 
127  n_frames = 4
128  active_frame = 1
129  first_clear_frame = 3
130  n_clear_frames = 2
131 
132  At this point, you should write new DV data into frame 3 and optionally
133  frame 0. Then call DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES to inform the device that
134  it may transmit the new frames.
135 
136  ERROR HANDLING
137 
138  An error (buffer underflow/overflow or a break in the DV stream due
139  to a 1394 bus reset) can be detected by checking the dropped_frames
140  field of struct dv1394_status (obtained through the
141  DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl).
142 
143  The best way to recover from such an error is to re-initialize
144  dv1394, either by using the DV1394_INIT ioctl call, or closing the
145  file descriptor and opening it again. (note that you must unmap all
146  ringbuffer mappings when closing the file descriptor, or else
147  dv1394 will still be considered 'in use').
148 
149  MAIN LOOP
150 
151  For maximum efficiency and robustness against bus errors, you are
152  advised to model the main loop of your application after the
153  following pseudo-code example:
154 
155  (checks of system call return values omitted for brevity; always
156  check return values in your code!)
157 
158  while( frames left ) {
159 
160  struct pollfd *pfd = ...;
161 
162  pfd->fd = dv1394_fd;
163  pfd->revents = 0;
164  pfd->events = POLLOUT | POLLIN; (OUT for transmit, IN for receive)
165 
166  (add other sources of I/O here)
167 
168  poll(pfd, 1, -1); (or select(); add a timeout if you want)
169 
170  if(pfd->revents) {
171  struct dv1394_status status;
172 
173  ioctl(dv1394_fd, DV1394_GET_STATUS, &status);
174 
175  if(status.dropped_frames > 0) {
176  reset_dv1394();
177  } else {
178  int i;
179  for (i = 0; i < status.n_clear_frames; i++) {
180  copy_DV_frame();
181  }
182  }
183  }
184  }
185 
186  where copy_DV_frame() reads or writes on the dv1394 file descriptor
187  (read/write mode) or copies data to/from the mmap ringbuffer and
188  then calls ioctl(DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES) to notify dv1394 that new
189  frames are available (mmap mode).
190 
191  reset_dv1394() is called in the event of a buffer
192  underflow/overflow or a halt in the DV stream (e.g. due to a 1394
193  bus reset). To guarantee recovery from the error, this function
194  should close the dv1394 file descriptor (and munmap() all
195  ringbuffer mappings, if you are using them), then re-open the
196  dv1394 device (and re-map the ringbuffer).

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