4Defining Colorspaces in V4L2
5****************************
6
7In V4L2 colorspaces are defined by four values. The first is the
8colorspace identifier (enum :c:type:`v4l2_colorspace`)
9which defines the chromaticities, the default transfer function, the
10default Y'CbCr encoding and the default quantization method. The second
11is the transfer function identifier (enum
12:c:type:`v4l2_xfer_func`) to specify non-standard
13transfer functions. The third is the Y'CbCr encoding identifier (enum
14:c:type:`v4l2_ycbcr_encoding`) to specify
15non-standard Y'CbCr encodings and the fourth is the quantization
16identifier (enum :c:type:`v4l2_quantization`) to
17specify non-standard quantization methods. Most of the time only the
18colorspace field of struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format`
19or struct :c:type:`v4l2_pix_format_mplane`
20needs to be filled in.
21
22.. _hsv-colorspace:
23
24On :ref:`HSV formats <hsv-formats>` the *Hue* is defined as the angle on
25the cylindrical color representation. Usually this angle is measured in
26degrees, i.e. 0-360. When we map this angle value into 8 bits, there are
27two basic ways to do it: Divide the angular value by 2 (0-179), or use the
28whole range, 0-255, dividing the angular value by 1.41. The enum
29:c:type:`v4l2_hsv_encoding` specifies which encoding is used.
30
31.. note:: The default R'G'B' quantization is full range for all
32   colorspaces except for BT.2020 which uses limited range R'G'B'
33   quantization.

68    * - ``V4L2_COLORSPACE_RAW``
69      - The raw colorspace. This is used for raw image capture where the
70	image is minimally processed and is using the internal colorspace
71	of the device. The software that processes an image using this
72	'colorspace' will have to know the internals of the capture
73	device.
