doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also,
as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's
rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it
clearer.
No functional changes.

These ioctls take a +pointer to the struct :ref:`v4l2_dv_timings <v4l2-dv-timings>` +structure as argument. If the ioctl is not supported or the timing +values are not correct, the driver returns ``EINVAL`` error code. + +The ``linux/v4l2-dv-timings.h`` header can be used to get the timings of +the formats in the :ref:`cea861` and :ref:`vesadmt` standards.

This is a read-only flag, + applications must not set this. + + - .. row 4 + + - ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS`` + + - CEA-861 specific: set for CEA-861 formats with a framerate that is + a multiple of six. These formats can be optionally played at 1 / + 1.001 speed to be compatible with 60 Hz based standards such as + NTSC and PAL-M that use a framerate of 29.97 frames per second. If + the transmitter can't generate such frequencies, then the flag + will also be cleared.

It is also only valid for formats with the + ``V4L2_DV_FL_CAN_REDUCE_FPS`` flag set, for other formats the + flag will be cleared by the driver. If the application sets this + flag, then the pixelclock used to set up the transmitter is + divided by 1.001 to make it compatible with NTSC framerates. If + the transmitter can't generate such frequencies, then the flag + will also be cleared. + + - .. row 6 + + - ``V4L2_DV_FL_HALF_LINE`` + + - Specific to interlaced formats: if set, then the vertical + frontporch of field 1 (aka the odd field) is really one half-line + longer and the vertical backporch of field 2 (aka the even field) + is really one half-line shorter, so each field has exactly the + same number of half-lines. Whether half-lines can be detected or + used depends on the hardware. + + - .. row 7 + + - ``V4L2_DV_FL_IS_CE_VIDEO`` + + - If set, then this is a Consumer Electronics (CE) video format. + Such formats differ from other formats (commonly called IT + formats) in that if R'G'B' encoding is used then by default the + R'G'B' values use limited range (i.e. 16-235) as opposed to full + range (i.e. 0-255). All formats defined in CEA-861 except for the + 640x480p59.94 format are CE formats. |
