16The JPEG class includes controls for common features of JPEG encoders
17and decoders. Currently it includes features for codecs implementing
18progressive baseline DCT compression process with Huffman entrophy
19coding.

26
27``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CLASS (class)``
28    The JPEG class descriptor. Calling
29    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
30    return a description of this control class.
31
32``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING (menu)``
33    The chroma subsampling factors describe how each component of an
34    input image is sampled, in respect to maximum sample rate in each
35    spatial dimension. See :ref:`itu-t81`, clause A.1.1. for more
36    details. The ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING`` control determines
37    how Cb and Cr components are downsampled after converting an input
38    image from RGB to Y'CbCr color space.

46    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_444``
47      - No chroma subsampling, each pixel has Y, Cr and Cb values.
48    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_422``
49      - Horizontally subsample Cr, Cb components by a factor of 2.
50    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_420``
51      - Subsample Cr, Cb components horizontally and vertically by 2.
52    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_411``
53      - Horizontally subsample Cr, Cb components by a factor of 4.
54    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_410``
55      - Subsample Cr, Cb components horizontally by 4 and vertically by 2.
56    * - ``V4L2_JPEG_CHROMA_SUBSAMPLING_GRAY``
57      - Use only luminance component.

61``V4L2_CID_JPEG_RESTART_INTERVAL (integer)``
62    The restart interval determines an interval of inserting RSTm
63    markers (m = 0..7). The purpose of these markers is to additionally
64    reinitialize the encoder process, in order to process blocks of an
65    image independently. For the lossy compression processes the restart
66    interval unit is MCU (Minimum Coded Unit) and its value is contained
67    in DRI (Define Restart Interval) marker. If
68    ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_RESTART_INTERVAL`` control is set to 0, DRI and RSTm
69    markers will not be inserted.

71.. _jpeg-quality-control:
72
73``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY (integer)``
74    ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY`` control determines trade-off
75    between image quality and size. It provides simpler method for
76    applications to control image quality, without a need for direct
77    reconfiguration of luminance and chrominance quantization tables. In
78    cases where a driver uses quantization tables configured directly by
79    an application, using interfaces defined elsewhere,
80    ``V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY`` control should be set by
81    driver to 0.
82
83    The value range of this control is driver-specific. Only positive,
84    non-zero values are meaningful. The recommended range is 1 - 100,
85    where larger values correspond to better image quality.

89``V4L2_CID_JPEG_ACTIVE_MARKER (bitmask)``

91    control is valid only for encoders.
