[PATCH/RFC v1 8/9] media: v4l: ctrls: Add a control for companding

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Companding refers to compression and expansion of pixel data to fit in a
smaller range. The control is named V4L2_CID_COMPANDING, and only
supports the A-law compression initially. More compression schemes will
be added as required by devices that support them.
