Calling + :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will + return a description of this control class. + +``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING (menu)`` + The chroma subsampling factors describe how each component of an + input image is sampled, in respect to maximum sample rate in each + spatial dimension. See :ref:`itu-t81`, clause A.1.1. for more + details. The ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING`` control determines + how Cb and Cr components are downsampled after converting an input + image from RGB to Y'CbCr color space. + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{7.0cm}|p{10.5cm}| + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + + * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_444`` + - No chroma subsampling, each pixel has Y, Cr and Cb values. + * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_422`` + - Horizontally subsample Cr, Cb components by a factor of 2. + * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_420`` + - Subsample Cr, Cb components horizontally and vertically by 2. + * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_411`` + - Horizontally subsample Cr, Cb components by a factor of 4. + * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_410`` + - Subsample Cr, Cb components horizontally by 4 and vertically by 2. + * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_GRAY`` + - Use only luminance component. + + + +``V4L2_CID_JPEG_RESTART_INTERVAL (integer)`` + The restart interval determines an interval of inserting RSTm + markers (m = 0..7). The purpose of these markers is to additionally + reinitialize the encoder process, in order to process blocks of an + image independently. For the lossy compression processes the restart + interval unit is MCU (Minimum Coded Unit) and its value is contained + in DRI (Define Restart Interval) marker. If + ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_RESTART_INTERVAL`` control is set to 0, DRI and RSTm + markers will not be inserted. + +.. _jpeg-quality-control: + +``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY (integer)`` + ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY`` control determines trade-off + between image quality and size. It provides simpler method for + applications to control image quality, without a need for direct + reconfiguration of luminance and chrominance quantization tables. In + cases where a driver uses quantization tables configured directly by + an application, using interfaces defined elsewhere, + ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY`` control should be set by + driver to 0. + + The value range of this control is driver-specific. Only positive, + non-zero values are meaningful. The recommended range is 1 - 100, + where larger values correspond to better image quality. + +.. _jpeg-active-marker-control: + +``V4L2_CID_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER (bitmask)`` + Specify which JPEG markers are included in compressed stream.
