Here is the final schedule. I moved a few topics around at the request of Laurent and to make it a better fit for the break times.
Please note that the LED topic has moved to a slightly later timeslot.
We plan to start at 9:00 and we have the Glamis room until 18:00.
The schedule is as follows:
9:00 Welcome/Introduction
9:10 Mauro Carvalho Chehab
- Better integration between DVB and V4L2, including starting using the media controller API on DVB side too.
30 min
9:40 Kieran Kunhya
- (3G/HD-)SDI multiplexed raw format
This is a professional interface used in broadcasting and CCTV. The most serious issue is that many vendors provide Linux drivers with V4L2 and ALSA - which is not acceptable for maintaining lipsync, let alone maintaining the exact relationship between audio samples and video that SDI provides.
Some other issues are mentioned here: https://wiki.videolan.org/SDI_API/ The wiki page has a very loose proposal for an API, though perhaps the per-line idea is ambitious at this stage. Field or frame capture is more realistic.
10:00 Break
10:30 Ricardo Ribalda Delgado, Sylwester Nawrocki
- Support for multiple rectangle cropping See thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg67824.html
10:50 Sylwester Nawrocki
- LED flash support
11:10 Hans Verkuil
- Colorspace: limited/full range Draft presentation for all these topics: http://hverkuil.home.xs4all.nl/presentations/summit2013.odp
11:20 Hans Verkuil
- VIDIOC_TRY_FMT shouldn't return -EINVAL when an unsupported pixelformat is provided, but in practice video capture board tend to do that, while webcam drivers tend to map it silently to a valid pixelformat. Some applications rely on the -EINVAL error code.
We need to decide how to adjust the spec. I propose to just say that some drivers will map it silently and others will return -EINVAL and that you don't know what a driver will do. Also specify that an unsupported pixelformat is the only reason why TRY_FMT might return -EINVAL.
Alternatively we might want to specify explicitly that EINVAL should be returned for video capture devices (i.e. devices supporting S_STD or S_DV_TIMINGS) and 0 for all others.
11:40 Hans Verkuil
- Decide on how v4l2 support libraries should be organized. There is code for handling raw-to-sliced VBI decoding, ALSA looping, finding associated video/alsa nodes and for TV frequency tables. We should decide how that should be organized into libraries and how they should be documented. The first two aren't libraries at the moment, but I think they should be. The last two are libraries but they aren't installed. Some work is also being done on an improved version of the 'associating nodes' library that uses the MC if available.
12:00 Lunch
13:00 Hans Verkuil
- Define the interaction between selection API, ENUM_FRAMESIZES and S_FMT. See this thread for all the nasty details:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg65137.html
Also see my draft presentation (link above) for more info and proposals.
14:00 Laurent Pinchart
- Status update regarding the media controller API usage on ALSA (Mauro likes to know) and sharing i2c transmitters between V4L2 and DRM (Hans V. likes to know).
14:10 Sakari Ailus
- Multi-format frames and metadata. Support would be needed on video nodes and V4L2 subdev nodes. I'll prepare the RFC for the former; the latter has an RFC here: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg67295.html
15:00 Break
15:30 Hugues Fruchet
- How to handle codecs where part of the processing is done in HW and part in SW?
17:30 End
Note: these times are tentative. Some topics will take less time, some will take more time.
Regards,
Hans

Michael requested to have this presentation on a latter time, in order for him to also participate on it.
Also, as this is media controller related, I think it makes sense to have Laurent participating on those discussions.

I will very likely not be able to make it to the V4L/DVB mini-summit before 11:30, and certainly not before 10:30. I will miss whatever is moved to the 9:10 slot.
