Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 16:52:22 +0000 (UTC) Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello, while reading into the media-api issue I found out that for configuring the entity pads a frameformat is used. For that I found the negotiation rfc of that topic, but I don't really get the relevance of a frameformat. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg10006.html Can anyone explain why the media-api uses the frameformat instead of the pixelformat and what the main differences are? Thanks in advance. Best regards, Tom
