2014-07-22[media] DocBook media: fix incorrect note about packed RGB and colorspaceHans Verkuil
The fact that the pixelformat is using a packed RGB format has nothing to do with the colorspace that is being used. Those are very different things. The colorspace decides what color a triplet of RGB numbers actually map to. E.g. a red color with values (255, 0, 0) is a different type of red depending on the colorspace. If the original pixelformat was e.g. YUV in colorspace REC709, then after the conversion to RGB the colorspace is still REC709. Unless the hardware actually converted the colorspace as well from REC709 to sRGB, but that rarely if ever happens. Remove this incorrect comment.

2014-07-17[media] v4l: Add ARGB and XRGB pixel formatsLaurent Pinchart
The existing RGB pixel formats are ill-defined in respect to their alpha bits and their meaning is driver dependent. Create new standard ARGB and XRGB variants with clearly defined meanings and make the existing variants deprecated. The new pixel formats 4CC values have been selected to match the DRM 4CCs for the same in-memory formats.

2014-02-04[media] DocBook media: drop the old incorrect packed RGB tableHans Verkuil
The old table is most definitely wrong. All applications and all drivers that I have ever tested follow the corrected table. Furthermore, that's what all applications expect as well. Any drivers that do not follow the corrected table are broken and should be fixed. This patch drops the old table and replaces it with the corrected table. This should prevent a lot of confusion.

2011-12-30[media] v4l: Add new alpha component controlSylwester Nawrocki
The V4L2_CID_ALPHA_COMPONENT control is intended for the video capture or memory-to-memory devices that are capable of setting up the per-pixel alpha component to some arbitrary value. It allows to set the alpha component for all pixels to an arbitrary value.

2011-12-11[media] Remove unneeded comments from the media API DocBook filesSylwester Nawrocki
This removes comment tags intended for emacs configuration from 67 files in the Media API DocBook. Such comments are not really helpful and violate the coding style rules. Signed-off-by: Sylwester Nawrocki <snjw23@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
2011-07-27[media] DocBook: Move all media docbook stuff into its own directoryMauro Carvalho Chehab
This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one? Due to the way cleandocs target works, I had to rename the media DocBook to media_api, otherwise cleandocs would remove the /media directory.
