The clip algorithm is only for rectangles. If there is interest I may look into implement polygons which is not necessarily easy to do at the driver because I want to avoid as much as possible recursion. Here is a sample of the code to use hardware clipping: This code alternates between not clipping, by setting clip_region[0].y_min and clip_region[0].y_max to 0, and specifying two clipping rectangles. The maximum number of rectangles that we can specify is 100 which I think is plenty. Setting clip_region[0].y_min and clip_region[1].y_max sets the number of clip rectangles to 0 in the driver . The rectangles should be sorted by the application . "x" first then "y". I will do error checking to ensure that the policy is enforced. while (got_signal) { ++j; if ( (j - ( j / 60 ) * 60) == 0 ) { i = METEOR_CAP_STOP_CONT; ioctl(video, METEORCAPTUR, &i); if (clip_region[0].y_min == 0 ) { clip_region[0].x_min = 10; clip_region[0].x_max = 20; clip_region[0].y_min = 20; clip_region[0].y_max = 40; clip_region[1].x_min = 10; clip_region[1].x_max = 20; clip_region[1].y_min = 80; clip_region[1].y_max = 100; printf("clip \n"); } else { printf("don't clip \n"); clip_region[0].y_min = 0; clip_region[0].y_max = 0; } ioctl( video, BT848SCLIP, &clip_region ); } i = METEOR_CAP_SINGLE ; /* buffer up 1 frame */ ioctl(video, METEORCAPTUR, &i); . . . I will probably change Bt848SCLIP to METEORSCLIP ... Last but not least we clip much faster than the latest Win95 WinCast client. Every time clipping gets activated in win95 in order for the clip to take effect the whole screen gets refresh at least with the latest Wincast client and my lastest S3 driver.

This is useful to support PCI to PCI transfer for cards such as the Matrox Millenium which have a different pixel order. The driver has a table of what formats it supports. E.g.: DEPTH R_MASK G_MASK B_MASK 2 0x7c00 0x03e0 0x001f 4 0xff0000 0x00ff00 0x0000ff ioctl code METEORSRGBMASK ioctl(fd, METEORSRGBMASK, (struct rgb_mask *)&foo); Will attempt to set the appropiate rgb order in the driver for a given color depth which was previously specified by setgeo ioctl . METEORRRGBMASK ioctl(fd, METEORSRGBMASK, (struct rgb_mask *) &foo); retrieves the current active rgb mask for a the currently active color depth. If the ioctl call METEORSRGBMASK is not issued the driver defaults to the pixel order RGB. ----- The Amancio-Hasty 2D clip algorithm! ( Thats just my weird sense of humor since in one of graphics book just about all the clip algorithms was invented by a pair of scientists or a scientist and a company 8) ) ioctl code BT848SCLIP struct bktr_clip list[BT848_MAX_CLIP_NODE]; ioctl(fd, BT848SCLIP, (struct bktr_clip *) &clip_list) bktr_clip is defined in ioctl_bt848.h as: struct bktr_clip { int x_min; int x_max; int y_min; int y_max; }; The driver always expects a list of 100 clip elements. BT848_MAX_CLIP_NODE is defined to be 100. To stop hardware clipping call BT848SCLIP with clip_list[0].y_min and clip_list[0].y_max set to 0. The list of clip rectangles is terminated by setting the last clip rectangle's y_min and y_max fields to 0. The driver expects the rectangles to be sorted by x and then y as the second order sort key. Overlapping rectangles are valid. If the clip list is invalid the ioctl returns EINVAL and further clipping is disabled. In order for the clip regions to be activated you must first stop the video capture process and then restart it. If video capture has not been started then the clip regions will be activated when the video capture process starts. Here is an example: j = 0; while (got_signal) { ++j; if ( (j - ( j / 60 ) * 60) == 0 ) { i = METEOR_CAP_STOP_CONT; ioctl(video, METEORCAPTUR, &i); if (clip_region[0].y_min == 0 ) { clip_region[0].x_min = 10; clip_region[0].x_max = 20; clip_region[0].y_min = 20; clip_region[0].y_max = 40; clip_region[1].x_min = 10; clip_region[1].x_max = 20; clip_region[1].y_min = 80; clip_region[1].y_max = 100; clip_region[2].y_min = 0; clip_region[2].y_max = 0; printf("clip \n"); } else { printf("don't clip \n"); clip_region[0].y_min = 0; clip_region[0].y_max = 0; } ioctl( video, BT848SCLIP, &clip_region ); } i = METEOR_CAP_SINGLE ; /* buffer up 1 frame */ ioctl(video, METEORCAPTUR, &i); vid_stream.mb_width = geo.columns; vid_stream.mb_height = geo.rows; ExecuteDisplay(&vid_stream, yuv_data); } ---- If all goes well this week we will commit the code by this Friday. If people don't check it out then it will not be committed. Have fun guys!

Officially, it is part of FreeBSD 3.0-current and you can compile the driver on 2.2 however with earlier versions of freebsd it will not compile. Whats great about the WinCast TV is that they are cheap about $120 and they are excellent PCI video capture boards plus they come with a tuner so combine with fxtv you can turn your PC into a TV 8) Do a net search with netscape to locate your nearest dealer which carries WinCast TVs.

How far have you got with vic-2.8 compiling. I ended up with tcl_LoadCmd and some other symbol being undefined (a combination of tk4.1/tcl5.2) and dug into the tcl port to find out why these symbols, though apparently in tclBase.c did not appear in the lib (only the shared libs are built in the ports (!?))

(I'll detail the Fxtv changes in a separate message shortly--just so this one doesn't get too huge.) DRIVER UPDATE: bt848-970424 This is a merge of all the latest features: - Amancio's clipping, frame sync, and frame base addr adjustment for rows < CIF - John-Mark's pixel FIFO byte/short swapping - My enhanced pixel format I/F, w/ 565 16bpp and packed 24bpp (3Bpp) support; also fixed ODD_ONLY CAP-SINGLEs and added CAP_SINGLE failure cleanup That's the summary. For those that have worked on the driver, let me detail what I did a little bit more. Everyone else probably won't be interested past this point. 1) ENHANCED PIXEL FORMAT INTERFACE I integrated closely with John-Mark's byte/word swapping support to form a simple interface that abstracts driver pixel format capabilities from the app. Basically apps will: a) Surf the supported pixmap formats via GSUPPIXFMT and pick one: struct meteor_pixfmt pf; for ( i = 0; ; i++ ) { pf.index = i; if ( ioctl( c->fd, METEORGSUPPIXFMT, &pf ) < 0 ) break; /* Do I like this format? If so, break */ } b) Set a pixmap format by index via SACTPIXFMT c) The active format can be queried by index via GACTPIXFMT While I was at it, I added support for 565 16bpp and packed 24bpp so we could do direct-video TV in those video modes as well. This was a pretty simple addition with the generic interface in place. So the driver now supports these RGB pixel formats: FMT Bpp Component Masks B,WSWAP RGB, 2, { 0x7c00, 0x03e0, 0x001f }, 0,0 RGB, 2, { 0x7c00, 0x03e0, 0x001f }, 1,0 RGB, 2, { 0xf800, 0x07e0, 0x001f }, 0,0 RGB, 2, { 0xf800, 0x07e0, 0x001f }, 1,0 RGB, 3, { 0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff }, 1,0 RGB, 4, { 0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff }, 0,0 RGB, 4, { 0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff }, 0,1 RGB, 4, { 0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff }, 1,0 RGB, 4, { 0xff0000,0x00ff00,0x0000ff }, 1,1 The meteor SETGEO oformat method of setting pixel geometry works in compatibility mode until a SACTPIXFMT is done, so previously written driver apps don't need reved. 2) FIX FOR ODD-FIELD-ONLY CAP_SINGLEs Previously, and single CAP_SINGLE ripped as if a CAP_CONTINUOUS had been issued, not generating a wakeup, and thus eventually falling out of the tsleep with a EWOULDBLOCK killing the DMA but leaving interrupts on in the driver and the RISC engine spinning. This underlying cause was that odd frames were being ignored in the interrupt handler, but cleanup code for failure clearly needed added too. To fix this, desired frame fields are counted in bktr_intr, and the wakeup & client interrupt are issued when WANT_MASK is satisfied. To support this, RISC interrupts are now generated on both odd and even frames for single- and double- field captures. 'works very well. 3) CAP_SINGLE cleanup As with the failed odd-field captures, interrupts and the risc engine weren't being disabled whenever the tsleep fails (e.g. timeout) when doing a CAP_SINGLE. I just added the appropriate cleanup code. I also suppressed the useless logging of the ERESTART (-1) return of tsleep for the successful case; we got our wakeup so there's no error. That's about it. Hope you find it useful.

The driver info is in a message I just mailed.) New rev of fxtv (0.41) and the bt driver (970424) are available at: http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv My goal with this version was to get everyone's TV's working in every video mode and pixel weighting their card supports. I probably didn't get all the way, but hopefully this is pretty close. :-) Support for the added pixel formats in the driver (byte/word swapping + 565 16bpp and packed 24bpp [3Bpp]) should enable more folks to run direct video in modes they previously, freeing up some major CPU from pixel conversion :-) Also, I've beefed up the on-CPU pixel conversion in Fxtv so, in modes where direct video isn't an option, you hopefully still stand a good shot of being able to watching TV. To aid in identifying and solving byte ordering problems, I've added support for Steve's colorbar ioctls, and provided options to specify your frame buffer's byte order to fxtv. Some command line options to try: ALL MODES: -colorbars, disableDirectV, -debug startup 15bpp/16bpp MODES: -nobswap2Bpp, -bswap2Bpp 24bpp (3Bpp) MODES: -nobswap3Bpp, -bswap3Bpp 24/32bpp(4Bpp) MODES: -nobswap4Bpp, -bswap4Bpp, -nowswap4Bpp, -wswap4Bpp, ...available as X resources as well, of course, so once you figure out the right permutation, put them in your Fxtv class resource file (see the web page for examples). COLORBARS Note that if everything's in sync, you should see solid (not tiled) colorbars with very pure colors in this order from left-to-right: White Yellow Cyan Green Magenta Red Blue Black TEST PROCEDURE In every mode (and pixel weighting), please run: fxtv -colorbars and do at least one freeze frame. Make sure both the continuous video and the freeze frame look OK. If not, play with the swap options for that pixel depth (see above). If there are still problems and its the running video that's hosed, try adding -disableDirectV.

It'd be cool if we could do this to support those of us whose Xservers config the card for this format. For now, the driver limits direct video in 24bpp to those folks that have BGRBGR packed 24bpp organization. SOME OPTIONS: 1. Put the chip in RGB32 pixel FIFO mode with byte and short swapping enabled (ARGBARGB). For each pixel, write 2 RISC instructions: a SKIP to skip the Alpha, and a WRITE to blast the RGB. Hmmmmmm, let's see....that's only 2.5 Megs for a 640x480 image. :-) 2. Rotate the HUE 90 deg. (I'm not kidding. It works. It's ugly but it works!)

Given that we're all pretty busy on the side, pairing up might not really help that much. Too hard to plan for someone to be "in" so-to-speak. If most folks' schedule's been like mine's been this past month (near zippo free time), hacking time is anything but plannable. I imagine that's typical--we're talkin' left-overs after higher priorities (many of which weren't planned way in advance) take their bite out of our schedules. Might be good to just keep the communication lines wide-open (problems, questions, ideas), and let whoever happens to develop the time dig-in to what sounds interesting. (Speaking of which, I need to catch up on my multimedia mail folder tomorrow -- been off in the cave when I've had time :-) BTW, thanks for the clipping support. Haven't had a chance to take a hard look yet, but hope to find time to support it in the app sometime before the leaves change. 8) Gotta go for tonight.

What is currently out in beta in ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/bt848-clip.tar.gz is the swapping of pixel orders and clip list support. The Bt848 supports RGB32, RGB24, RGB16, and RGB15. The supported modes are RGB32 (METEOR_GEO_RGB24) and RGB15 ( METEOR_GEO_RGB16) needless to say that the METEOR_GEO_RGBXXX are misnomers. the following table hopefully will make all this clear, from the Bt848 databook: FIFO Input Output of Fifo 31:24 [31:24] [23:16] [15:8] [7:0] 23:16 [23:16] [31:24] [7:0] [15:8] 15:8 [15:8] [7:0] [31:24] [23:16] 7:0 [7:0] [15:8] [23:16] [31:24] If RGB24 is desired, then we can add an ioctl to tell the driver to dma the video using rgb24. A few ways of accomplishing this is to: 1. to create a bt848 ioctl call with the appropriate correct color depth. bt848SETRGB and pass a value of the color depth desired 2. we can generalized the mechanism for setting the pixel order to also determine the color depth. 3. Create a new bt848 ioctl call which has geometry, color depth, pixel order and video frame buffer info . ---- Briefly, we can do it.

Okay people, time for my usual gripes...and some info. Yes, 24 bit still doesn't work. 15 & 16 bit do though and that is nice!

The following bars displayed on my screen: BAR# FROM LEFT ORIGINAL COLOR IF COLORS WERE RIGHT 4 cyan 5 green 8 blue The rest were black.

I couldn't figure out how to convince it that it's okay to do direct video -- it does the same check 5 or 6 times in the code and I wasn't sure if telling it that data existed when it really didn't would be such a great idea.

Not from me. The problems I thought I had turned out to be due to my cheapo S3 virge card with DRAM not being able to handle the bandwidth, and the driver was losing lots of frames. If I reduce my X resolution, it works fine. Incidentally, the frames-per-second ioctl looks all wrong: it does "temporal decimation" by fields, which means that the RISC program doesn't see alternate odd-even fields as it expects. Also it assumes 60Hz. Can someone confirm that it doesn't work under NTSC either?
