[PATCH v5] compositor-drm: Add aspect-ratio parsing support

Tue Jul 3 09:12:06 UTC 2018


Hello Pekka,

Thanks for your attention and code review of the patch series.
Ankit will respond on rest of the review comments, I would take one 
related to mode with implicit aspect ratio information.
Please find my comment inline.

Regards
Shashank

Yes there is an actual difference, let me try to explain this.
For this, we should first understand difference between CEA-modes Vs 
non-CEA-modes. As you might already know, CEA defines timings of a video 
mode, which is considered as standard for HDMI certification and 
compliance testing. CEA defines each and every parameter of a video 
mode, like h/vactive, h/vfront, h/vback including aspect ratio 
information. This unique videmode is given a Video Identification Code 
(VIC) which is unique. For example, VIC=4 is 1280x720 at 60 aspect 16:9. 
Now, the videomode would be considered a CEA mode, only if it contains 
aspect ratio information. In other words:
- 1280x720 at 60 0:0 is not a CEA mode
- 1280x720 at 60 16:9 is a CEA mode with VIC=4

Now, when we apply videomode 1280x720 at 60 0:0, as this mode timings 
doesn't exactly match the CEA information for VIC=4, so would be called 
a non-CEA mode. So while setting the HDMI AVI infoframe filed, VIC 
parameter will be kept as '0' . But when we apply videomode 1280x720 at 60 
16:9, this matches CEA timings for the mode with VIC=4, so the VIC 
information in AVI infoframes would be filled with value 4.

When certification testing is done, in tests like 7-27, the HDMI 
analyzer applies a particular CEA mode, and expects the applied mode to 
be with exactly same timings, including the aspect ratio and VIC field.
So its important to differentiate between mode with no aspect (NONE) and 
mode with explicit aspect ratio.
