<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>
<section>
<title>Querying Capabilities</title>
<para>Devices supporting the sliced VBI capturing or output API
set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_CAPTURE</constant> or
<constant>V4L2_CAP_SLICED_VBI_OUTPUT</constant> flag respectively, in
the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. At least one of the
read/write, streaming or asynchronous <link linkend="io">I/O

or modulator.</para>

<title>Sliced VBI Format Negotiation</title>
<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>

<para>The <link linkend="v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt">

<para>It may also be the case that a device can embed sliced VBI

<para><emphasis>Historical context</emphasis>: This format
specification originates from a custom, embedded, sliced VBI data

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

sliced VBI data when <link linkend="v4l2-mpeg-stream-vbi-fmt">

<para>The payload of the MPEG-2 <emphasis>Private Stream 1 PES
</emphasis> packets that contain sliced VBI data is specified by
&v4l2-mpeg-vbi-fmt-ivtv;. The payload is variable
length, depending on the actual number of lines of sliced VBI data
present in a video frame. The payload may be padded at the end with
unspecified fill bytes to align the end of the payload to a 4-byte
