Re: [PATCH v3 1/2] virtio-video: Add virtio video device specification

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

 



Hi Keiichi,

One more addition to the comments below. Currently spec does not define units 
for bitrate (are units needed for anything else except that?). Let's 
explicitly state that bitrate is provided in bits per sec, so whatever 
implementation can do proper conversion if needed.

Best regards,
Dmity.
