-Arguments
-=========
-
-``fd``
- File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
-
-``argp``
- Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`.
-
-
-Description
-===========
-
-To set DV timings for the input or output, applications use the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>` ioctl and to get the current timings,
-applications use the :ref:`VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>` ioctl. The detailed timing
-information is filled in using the structure struct
-:c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`. These ioctls take a
-pointer to the struct :c:type:`v4l2_dv_timings`
-structure as argument. If the ioctl is not supported or the timing
-values are not correct, the driver returns ``EINVAL`` error code.
-
-The ``linux/v4l2-dv-timings.h`` header can be used to get the timings of
-the formats in the :ref:`cea861` and :ref:`vesadmt` standards. If
-the current input or output does not support DV timings (e.g. if
-:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT` does not set the
-``V4L2_IN_CAP_DV_TIMINGS`` flag), then ``ENODATA`` error code is returned.
-
-
-Return Value
-============
-
-On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
-appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
-:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
-
-EINVAL
- This ioctl is not supported, or the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>`
- parameter was unsuitable.
-
-ENODATA
- Digital video timings are not supported for this input or output.
-
-EBUSY
- The device is busy and therefore can not change the timings.

-
- * - Flag
- - Description
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_BLANKING``
- - CVT/GTF specific: the timings use reduced blanking (CVT) or the
- 'Secondary GTF' curve (GTF). In both cases the horizontal and/or
- vertical blanking intervals are reduced, allowing a higher
- resolution over the same bandwidth. This is a read-only flag,
- applications must not set this.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS``
- - CEA-861 specific: set for CEA-861 formats with a framerate that is
- a multiple of six. These formats can be optionally played at 1 /
- 1.001 speed to be compatible with 60 Hz based standards such as
- NTSC and PAL-M that use a framerate of 29.97 frames per second. If
- the transmitter can't generate such frequencies, then the flag
- will also be cleared. This is a read-only flag, applications must
- not set this.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_REDUCED_FPS``
- - CEA-861 specific: only valid for video transmitters or video
- receivers that have the ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_DETECT_REDUCED_FPS``
- set. This flag is cleared otherwise. It is also only valid for
- formats with the ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS`` flag set, for other
- formats the flag will be cleared by the driver.
-
- If the application sets this flag for a transmitter, then the
- pixelclock used to set up the transmitter is divided by 1.001 to
- make it compatible with NTSC framerates. If the transmitter can't
- generate such frequencies, then the flag will be cleared.
-
- If a video receiver detects that the format uses a reduced framerate,
- then it will set this flag to signal this to the application.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HALF_LINE``
- - Specific to interlaced formats: if set, then the vertical
- backporch of field 1 (aka the odd field) is really one half-line
- longer and the vertical backporch of field 2 (aka the even field)
- is really one half-line shorter, so each field has exactly the
- same number of half-lines. Whether half-lines can be detected or
- used depends on the hardware.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_IS_CE_VIDEO``
- - If set, then this is a Consumer Electronics (CE) video format.
- Such formats differ from other formats (commonly called IT
- formats) in that if R'G'B' encoding is used then by default the
- R'G'B' values use limited range (i.e. 16-235) as opposed to full
- range (i.e. 0-255). All formats defined in CEA-861 except for the
- 640x480p59.94 format are CE formats.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_FIRST_FIELD_EXTRA_LINE``
- - Some formats like SMPTE-125M have an interlaced signal with a odd
- total height. For these formats, if this flag is set, the first
- field has the extra line. Else, it is the second field.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_PICTURE_ASPECT``
- - If set, then the picture_aspect field is valid. Otherwise assume that
- the pixels are square, so the picture aspect ratio is the same as the
- width to height ratio.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_CEA861_VIC``
- - If set, then the cea861_vic field is valid and contains the Video
- Identification Code as per the CEA-861 standard.
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HAS_HDMI_VIC``
- - If set, then the hdmi_vic field is valid and contains the Video
- Identification Code as per the HDMI standard (HDMI Vendor Specific
- InfoFrame).
- * - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_DETECT_REDUCED_FPS``
- - CEA-861 specific: only valid for video receivers, the flag is
- cleared by transmitters.
- If set, then the hardware can detect the difference between
- regular framerates and framerates reduced by 1000/1001. E.g.:
- 60 vs 59.94 Hz, 30 vs 29.97 Hz or 24 vs 23.976 Hz.
