9Below all controls within the Codec control class are described. First
10the generic controls, then controls specific for certain hardware.
11
12.. note::
13
14   These controls are applicable to all codecs and not just MPEG. The
15   defines are prefixed with V4L2_CID_MPEG/V4L2_MPEG as the controls
16   were originally made for MPEG codecs and later extended to cover all
17   encoding formats.

30    The Codec class descriptor. Calling
31    :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for this control will
32    return a description of this control class. This description can be
33    used as the caption of a Tab page in a GUI, for example.

40enum v4l2_mpeg_stream_type -
41    The MPEG-1, -2 or -4 output stream type. One cannot assume anything
42    here. Each hardware MPEG encoder tends to support different subsets
43    of the available MPEG stream types. This control is specific to
44    multiplexed MPEG streams. The currently defined stream types are:

3241``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BASELAYER_PRIORITY_ID (integer)``
3242    Specifies a priority identifier for the NAL unit, which will be applied to
3243    the base layer. By default this value is set to 0 for the base layer,
3244    and the next layer will have the priority ID assigned as 1, 2, 3 and so on.
3245    The video encoder can't decide the priority id to be applied to a layer,
3246    so this has to come from client.
3247    This is applicable to H264 and valid Range is from 0 to 63.

3265    This provides a bitmask which consists of bits [0, LTR_COUNT-1].
