.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a utility for reading, writing and displaying streams of raw video frames.
|
|
By default frames are read from
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
and displayed via
|
|
.Xr Xv 3 .
|
|
The default
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is
|
|
.Pa /dev/video .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option is used frames are read from
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
and written to
|
|
.Ar output .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
option is used frames are read from
|
|
.Ar input
|
|
and displayed via
|
|
.Xr Xv 3 .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl O
|
|
option is used frames are read from
|
|
.Ar file ,
|
|
written to
|
|
.Ar output
|
|
and displayed via
|
|
.Xr Xv 3 .
|
|
The brightness, contrast, gain, hue and saturation controls of
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
can also be adjusted if
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
supports these controls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-a adaptor"
|
|
.It Fl a Ar adaptor
|
|
Index of
|
|
.Xr Xv 3
|
|
adaptor to use.
|
|
The default is 0, the first adaptor reported by
|
|
.Xr X 7 .
|
|
.It Fl e Ar encoding
|
|
Lowercase FOURCC name of video encoding to use.
|
|
Valid arguments are
|
|
.Ql uyvy
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql yuy2 .
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Ql yuy2
|
|
unless
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
is being used and only supports
|
|
.Ql yuyv ,
|
|
in which case
|
|
.Ql yuyv
|
|
will be used by default.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
|
.Xr video 4
|
|
device from which frames will be read.
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Pa /dev/video .
|
|
.It Fl i Ar input
|
|
File from which frames will be read.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar input
|
|
is
|
|
.Ql - ,
|
|
frames will be read from standard input.
|
|
.It Fl o Ar ouput
|
|
File to which frames will be written.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar output
|
|
is
|
|
.Ql - ,
|
|
frames will be written to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl O Ar ouput
|
|
File to which frames will be written.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar output
|
|
is
|
|
.Ql - ,
|
|
frames will be written to standard output.
|
|
In contrast to
|
|
.Fl o ,
|
|
if this option is used,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will also display the frames via
|
|
.Xr Xv 3 .
|
|
.It Fl r Ar rate
|
|
Rate in frames per second at which to read.
|
|
Must be an integer greater than 0.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option is not specified, frames will be read as quickly as possible.
|
|
If reading from a
|
|
.Xr video 4
|
|
device, frames will be read as quickly as they are available from
|
|
the device, but will be displayed and/or written to
|
|
.Ar output
|
|
at the rate specified.
|
|
This is done because
|
|
.Xr video 4
|
|
does not yet support setting the device frame rate.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar size
|
|
Size of frames to read.
|
|
The format of
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
is WxH, where W represents width and H represents height, both expressed
|
|
as number of pixels.
|
|
The default is 640x480.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
does not contain
|
|
.Ql x ,
|
|
.Ar size
|
|
is interpreted as only the width.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ql x
|
|
is the first character of
|
|
.Ar size ,
|
|
the characters following
|
|
.Ql x
|
|
are interpreted as the height.
|
|
If only one of width or height is specified, the other will be calculated
|
|
using a 4:3 width:height ratio.
|
|
For example, if given
|
|
.Ql -s 640
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use a size of
|
|
.Ql 640x480 .
|
|
When reading from a
|
|
.Xr video 4
|
|
device and displaying the frames on an
|
|
.Xx Xv 3
|
|
display, this option also accepts two special strings,
|
|
.Ql half
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql full.
|
|
If either
|
|
.Ql half
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql full
|
|
are specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will read frames that are no larger than 2/3 the display width and
|
|
2/3 the display height.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ql full
|
|
is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will stretch the frame to the full size of the display using
|
|
.Xr Xv 3
|
|
scaling.
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is reading frames from a
|
|
.Xr video 4
|
|
device and the frame size does not match a frame size the device supports,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use the largest frame size supported by the device that is smaller
|
|
than the specified size.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Verbose mode.
|
|
Multiple instances of this option are allowed.
|
|
Each instance increases the level of informational output printed to
|
|
.Ar stderr .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will quit reading frames and exit nicely if it receives any of
|
|
the following signals: SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGKILL, SIGTERM, SIGPIPE.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
responds to certain key presses while it is displaying frames.
|
|
The keypresses are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "aXX"

|
|
The following command will read YUY2 encoded, 640 pixel wide and 480 pixel

|
.Ar video.raw
|
|
at a rate of 15 frames per second:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl "$ video -r 15 -o video.raw"

|
|
write them to
|
|
.Ar video.raw
|
|
and display them using the default
|
|
.Xr Xv 3
|
|
adaptor at a rate of 15 frames per second:
|
|
.Pp
|

|
|
The following command will read YUY2 encoded, 640 pixel wide and 480 pixel
|
|
high video frames from
|
|
.Ar video.raw
|
|
and dsplay them on the default
|
|
.Xr Xv 3

Note that with the first three commands, if
|
|
.Ar /dev/video
|
|
does not support 640x480 pixels sized frames, the largest frame size
|
|
smaller than 640x480 will be used, and if
|
|
.Ar /dev/video
|
