Right, this sentence does imply that when scaling is supported, there must be a sink compose rectangle, even when composing is not. I have previously set up scaling like this: media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1920x1080@1/60]" media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:AYUV32/960x540@1/30]" Does this mean, it should work like this instead? media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1920x1080@1/60]" media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0':0[fmt:UYVY2X8/1920x1080@1/60,compose:(0,0)/960x540]" media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:AYUV32/960x540@1/30]" I suppose setting the source pad format should not be allowed to modify the sink compose rectangle. regards Philipp
