9Below all controls within the Codec control class are described. First
10the generic controls, then controls specific for certain hardware.
11
12.. note::
13
14   These controls are applicable to all codecs and not just MPEG. The
15   defines are prefixed with V4L2_CID_MPEG/V4L2_MPEG as the controls
16   were originally made for MPEG codecs and later extended to cover all
17   encoding formats.

30    The Codec class descriptor. Calling
31    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
32    return a description of this control class. This description can be
33    used as the caption of a Tab page in a GUI, for example.

41    The MPEG-1, -2 or -4 output stream type. One cannot assume anything
42    here. Each hardware MPEG encoder tends to support different subsets
43    of the available MPEG stream types. This control is specific to
44    multiplexed MPEG streams. The currently defined stream types are:

1809The following MPEG class controls deal with MPEG decoding and encoding
1810settings that are specific to the Multi Format Codec 5.1 device present
1811in the S5P family of SoCs by Samsung.

1819``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_DECODER_H264_DISPLAY_DELAY_ENABLE (boolean)``
1820    If the display delay is enabled then the decoder is forced to return
1821    a CAPTURE buffer (decoded frame) after processing a certain number
1822    of OUTPUT buffers. The delay can be set through
1823    ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_MFC51_VIDEO_DECODER_H264_DISPLAY_DELAY``. This
1824    feature can be used for example for generating thumbnails of videos.

1953    enabled, then the rate control logic of the encoder will calculate
1954    the average bitrate for a GOP and keep it below or equal the set
1955    bitrate target. Otherwise the rate control logic calculates the
1956    overall average bitrate for the stream and keeps it below or equal
1957    to the set bitrate. In the first case the average bitrate for the
1958    whole stream will be smaller then the set bitrate. This is caused
1959    because the average is calculated for smaller number of frames, on
1960    the other hand enabling this setting will ensure that the stream

3086    Specifies various slice-specific parameters, especially from the NAL unit
3087    header, general slice segment header and weighted prediction parameter
3088    parts of the bitstream.
3089    These bitstream parameters are defined according to :ref:`hevc`.
3090    They are described in section 7.4.7 "General slice segment header
3091    semantics" of the specification.

3425    and the next layer will have the priority ID assigned as 1, 2, 3 and so on.
3426    The video encoder can't decide the priority id to be applied to a layer,
3427    so this has to come from client.
3428    This is applicable to H264 and valid Range is from 0 to 63.
