   **   DV1394 API   **
   **                **
   ********************

   There are two methods of operating the DV1394 DV output device.

   1)

   The simplest is an interface based on write(): simply write
   full DV frames of data to the device, and they will be transmitted
   as quickly as possible. The FD may be set for non-blocking I/O,
   in which case you can use select() or poll() to wait for output
   buffer space.

   To set the DV output parameters (e.g. whether you want NTSC or PAL
   video), use the DV1394_INIT ioctl, passing in the parameters you
   want in a struct dv1394_init.

   Example 1:
         To play a raw .DV file:   cat foo.DV > /dev/dv1394
         (cat will use write() internally)

   Example 2:
           static struct dv1394_init init = {
              0x63,        (broadcast channel)
              4,           (four-frame ringbuffer)
              DV1394_NTSC, (send NTSC video)
              0, 0         (default empty packet rate)
           }

           ioctl(fd, DV1394_INIT, &init);

           while(1) {
                  read( <a raw DV file>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
                  write( <the dv1394 FD>, buf, DV1394_NTSC_FRAME_SIZE );
           }

   2)

   For more control over buffering, and to avoid unnecessary copies
   of the DV data, you can use the more sophisticated the mmap() interface.
   First, call the DV1394_INIT ioctl to specify your parameters,
   including the number of frames in the ringbuffer. Then, calling mmap()
   on the dv1394 device will give you direct access to the ringbuffer
   from which the DV card reads your frame data.

   The ringbuffer is simply one large, contiguous region of memory
   containing two or more frames of packed DV data. Each frame of DV data
   is 120000 bytes (NTSC) or 144000 bytes (PAL).

   Fill one or more frames in the ringbuffer, then use the DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES
   ioctl to begin I/O. You can use either the DV1394_WAIT_FRAMES ioctl
   or select()/poll() to wait until the frames are transmitted. Next, you'll
   need to call the DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl to determine which ringbuffer
   frames are clear (ready to be filled with new DV data). Finally, use
   DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES again to send the new data to the DV output.


   Example: here is what a four-frame ringbuffer might look like
            during DV transmission:


         frame 0   frame 1   frame 2   frame 3

        *--------------------------------------*
        | CLEAR   | DV data | DV data | CLEAR  |
        *--------------------------------------*
                   <ACTIVE>

        transmission goes in this direction --->>>


   The DV hardware is currently transmitting the data in frame 1.
   Once frame 1 is finished, it will automatically transmit frame 2.
   (if frame 2 finishes before frame 3 is submitted, the device
   will continue to transmit frame 2, and will increase the dropped_frames
   counter each time it repeats the transmission).


   If you called DV1394_GET_STATUS at this instant, you would
   receive the following values:

                  n_frames          = 4
                  active_frame      = 1
                  first_clear_frame = 3
                  n_clear_frames    = 2

   At this point, you should write new DV data into frame 3 and optionally
   frame 0. Then call DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES to inform the device that
   it may transmit the new frames.

   ERROR HANDLING

   An error (buffer underflow/overflow or a break in the DV stream due
   to a 1394 bus reset) can be detected by checking the dropped_frames
   field of struct dv1394_status (obtained through the
   DV1394_GET_STATUS ioctl).

   The best way to recover from such an error is to re-initialize
   dv1394, either by using the DV1394_INIT ioctl call, or closing the
   file descriptor and opening it again. (note that you must unmap all
   ringbuffer mappings when closing the file descriptor, or else
   dv1394 will still be considered 'in use').

   MAIN LOOP

   For maximum efficiency and robustness against bus errors, you are
   advised to model the main loop of your application after the
   following pseudo-code example:

   (checks of system call return values omitted for brevity; always
   check return values in your code!)

   while( frames left ) {

    struct pollfd *pfd = ...;

    pfd->fd = dv1394_fd;
    pfd->revents = 0;
    pfd->events = POLLOUT | POLLIN; (OUT for transmit, IN for receive)

    (add other sources of I/O here)

    poll(pfd, 1, -1); (or select(); add a timeout if you want)

    if(pfd->revents) {
         struct dv1394_status status;

         ioctl(dv1394_fd, DV1394_GET_STATUS, &status);

         if(status.dropped_frames > 0) {
              reset_dv1394();
         } else {
              for(int i = 0; i < status.n_clear_frames; i++) {
                  copy_DV_frame();
              }
         }
    }
   }

   where copy_DV_frame() reads or writes on the dv1394 file descriptor
   (read/write mode) or copies data to/from the mmap ringbuffer and
   then calls ioctl(DV1394_SUBMIT_FRAMES) to notify dv1394 that new
   frames are availble (mmap mode).

   reset_dv1394() is called in the event of a buffer
   underflow/overflow or a halt in the DV stream (e.g. due to a 1394
   bus reset). To guarantee recovery from the error, this function
   should close the dv1394 file descriptor (and munmap() all
   ringbuffer mappings, if you are using them), then re-open the
   dv1394 device (and re-map the ringbuffer).

   different buffer size, simply close and re-open the device, then
   initialize it with your new settings. */

/* Q: What are cip_n and cip_d? */

/*
  A: DV video streams do not utilize 100% of the potential bandwidth offered
  by IEEE 1394 (FireWire). To achieve the correct rate of data transmission,
  DV devices must periodically insert empty packets into the 1394 data stream.
  Typically there is one empty packet per 14-16 data-carrying packets.

  Some DV devices will accept a wide range of empty packet rates, while others
  require a precise rate. If the dv1394 driver produces empty packets at
  a rate that your device does not accept, you may see ugly patterns on the
  DV output, or even no output at all.

  The default empty packet insertion rate seems to work for many people; if
  your DV output is stable, you can simply ignore this discussion. However,
  we have exposed the empty packet rate as a parameter to support devices that
  do not work with the default rate.

  The decision to insert an empty packet is made with a numerator/denominator
  algorithm. Empty packets are produced at an average rate of CIP_N / CIP_D.
  You can alter the empty packet rate by passing non-zero values for cip_n
  and cip_d to the INIT ioctl.
