<title>DVB Video Device</title>
<para>The DVB video device controls the MPEG2 video decoder of the DVB hardware. It
can be accessed through <emphasis role="tt">/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0</emphasis>. Data types and and
ioctl definitions can be accessed by including <emphasis role="tt">linux/dvb/video.h</emphasis> in your
application.
</para>
<para>Note that the DVB video device only controls decoding of the MPEG video stream, not
its presentation on the TV or computer screen. On PCs this is typically handled by an
associated video4linux device, e.g. <emphasis role="tt">/dev/video</emphasis>, which allows scaling and defining output
windows.
</para>
<para>Some DVB cards don’t have their own MPEG decoder, which results in the omission of
the audio and video device as well as the video4linux device.
</para>
<para>The ioctls that deal with SPUs (sub picture units) and navigation packets are only
supported on some MPEG decoders made for DVD playback.

source for the video stream. It can come either from the demultiplexer or from memory.
The video_format indicates the aspect ratio (one of 4:3 or 16:9) of the currently

<para>This system call opens a named video device (e.g. /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0)

<para>When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use.
The significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the
semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later
be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in the Linux
manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the Video Device in O_RDWR
mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an
error-code will be returned. If the Video Device is opened in O_RDONLY
mode, the only ioctl call that can be used is VIDEO_GET_STATUS. All other
call will return an error code.</para>

<para>This ioctl call returns an event of type video_event if available. If an event is
not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking or
non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately with errno
set to EWOULDBLOCK. In the former case, the call blocks until an event
becomes available. The standard Linux poll() and/or select() system calls can
be used with the device file descriptor to watch for new events. For select(),
the file descriptor should be included in the exceptfds argument, and for
poll(), POLLPRI should be specified as the wake-up condition. Read-only
permissions are sufficient for this ioctl call.</para>
