MVD Services

From 3dbrew
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is for using the MVD hardware video decoder(unknown whether MVD can do more than decoding) + hardware color-format converter. The New_3DS Internet Browser uses mvd:STD for video decoding + YUV2RGB for decoded MJPEG frames.

See here for the supported hardware decoder video codecs.

There can only be one service session open at a time for each individual MVD service.

This one uses the I/O mapped @ 0x10207000.

This service is used by the New_3DS Internet Browser.

By default MVD does(?) various post-processing with the output image, this is controlled by the configuration. This post-processing isn't done at all in certain cases. By default MVD will align the output frame width to 512, by writing zero-value pixels.

Initialization procedures:

  • Color-conversion: Use command MVDSTD:Initialize with bufsize=1, then command 0x00180000.
  • H.264: If needed, use MVDSTD:CalculateWorkBufSize. Then use MVDSTD:Initialize. Then use commands 0x00050100, 0x00180000, and 0x001B0040. Then use MVDSTD:ProcessNALUnit for each of the individual NAL-unit parameter sets("Sequence Parameter Set" and "Picture Parameter Set"), with the main video processing starting afterwards.

Shutdown procedures:

  • Color-conversion: just use command 0x00190000, then MVDSTD:Shutdown.
  • H.264: Use command 0x00090042 in a loop, waiting for it to return a retval that isn't 0x00017002. Then use commands 0x001C0000, 0x00190000, and 0x00070000. Then use MVDSTD:Shutdown.

MVD Service "l2b:u"

This one uses the I/O mapped @ 0x10130000.

MVD Service "l2b2:u"

This uses the same command-handler as "l2b:u".

MVD Service "y2r2:u"

This one uses the I/O mapped @ 0x10102000.

MVD Result-codes

Result-code Internal MVD status-code Description
0xD961710F Invalid configuration, mainly when setting the config.
0x17000 OK
0x17002 Busy. When returned by command 0x00090042 during video processing, SKATER uses the {MVDSTD:GetConfig, MVDSTD:SetConfig, and 0x00090042} commands again(same config as before). The SKATER code for this includes this debug string: "H264 output %lld us corrected to %lld us\n".
