TECHNOTE :QuickTime TV Tuner APIs



Technote 1012OCTOBER 1995



By Paul Wenker and Kent Sandvik (DTS Emeritus)
Apple Developer Support


This Technote describes the TV Tuner APIs.

The TV Tuner component is included in the Video Startup extension which is part of the Apple Video Player software. The component provides a standard API for accessing the TV tuner hardware available for the various Macintosh systems that have the TV tuner circuit or card available.

Most developers do not need to call the TV Tuner component directly. Any application that uses the SGSettingsDialog function will automatically get TV support without changes to their application.

About TV Tuner Components

Before delving into the specific component calls, there are a few TV-related concepts that are important to discuss. If you are writing software for a specific country, some of these issues may not apply. However, to write global-ready software that uses the TV tuner, each of these issues need to be taken into consideration.

Channel Numbering

The number of channels and the frequencies assigned to those channels varies from country to country. Also, in some countries, users are accustomed to configuring the channels in whatever way they please. For example, in the UK, one user may have his or her TV configured so that BBC is on channel 2, while another may have the TV configured so that BBC is on channel 7. A list of the channel frequencies used by Apple Video Player is provided in the appendix.

Off-Air vs. Cable Channels

Most countries use a different set of channel frequencies, depending on whether a station is being broadcast over the air or via a cable system. In addition, in the US, some cable systems use an alternate set of frequencies (called HRC cable) that differ slightly from standard cable frequencies. Most TVs have an antenna/cable switch that allows the user to select the correct set of frequencies.

Channel Frequencies Are Not Absolute

TV stations do not always broadcast at the defined frequencies. For example, a TV station may broadcast slightly off frequency to avoid interference from another station broadcasting at the same frequency in another part of the country. To accomodate this, TVs generally provide either an automatic or manual fine tuning feature.

Video Standards

Different countries use different video standards. Color encoding, picture size, and frame rate vary from standard to standard. North America and Japan use NTSC, France and parts of eastern Europe use SECAM, while most of the rest of the world uses PAL. Most countries have standardized on a single format for TV broadcasts, but some users may live in areas where they receive TV broadcasts from different countries that use different standards.

TV Standards

Different countries also broadcast using different TV standards, also called systems. Each TV system uses a slightly different range of TV frequencies. Also, the distance between the picture carrier frequency and sound carrier frequency varies from system to system. North America and Japan use system M/N, the UK uses system I, France uses system L, China and eastern Europe use system D/K, while most of the rest of the world uses system B/G. In some parts of the world, multi-standard TVs are common. For example, if a person lives near the French/German border, they might receive some French stations that broadcast using system L and some German stations that broadcast using system B/G.

Stereo Sound

Stereo sound is supported in most countries of the world. Dual language or Second Audio Program (SAP) support is also quite common. In Europe, two different types of stereo broadcast are common: analog FM stereo, and the more recent digital NICAM stereo.

TV Tuner Hardware Description

Many of Apple's multimedia computers have the option of installing a TV tuner card. The TV tuner card becomes an additional input (along with the composite and s-video inputs) to the video digitizer.

There are currently five different TV tuner cards: US (System M/N), Japanese (System M/N), UK (System I), International (System B/G), and French (System L and B/G). The two primary differences between the cards are the tuner modules and the stereo decoding circuitry. From the software point of view, the tuner modules all behave very similarly. The stereo decoders, however, differ in several ways:

Other differences between the tuner cards:

Using the TV Tuner Component

All access to the TV tuner is handled by the TV Tuner component. The following code demonstrates how to find and open the TV Tuner component.

    ComponentDescription    theDesc;
Component id;
ComponentInstance tunerInst;

theDesc.componentType = 'tunr';
theDesc.componentSubType = 0;
theDesc.componentManufacturer = 'appl';
theDesc.componentFlags = 0L;
theDesc.componentFlagsMask = 0L;
id = FindNextComponent(nil, &theDesc);
if (id != nil) {
tunerInst = OpenComponent(id);
if (tunerInst != nil) {
if (GetComponentVersion(tunerInst) < 0x00020000) {
CloseComponent(tunerInst);
tunerInst = nil;
}
}
}
FindNextComponent will return nil if the TV Tuner component does not exist or if the component has determined that the tuner hardware does not exist. OpenComponent will return nil if the TV Tuner component has already been opened by another application. The code also checks to make sure the the component version is 2.0 or later. Versions of the compont prior to 2.0 will not function properly and should not be used.

When the application is finished using the component, it should close the component using the CloseComponent call.

In addition to opening the TV Tuner component, the application must also set the input of the video digitizer using the VDSetInput function. To determine which input to use, query each of the digitizer's inputs using the VDGetInputFormat call until you find an input of type tvTunerIn.

short FindTunerInput(ComponentInstance digitizer)
{
short count;
short format;
short i;
short tvInput;

tvInput = -1;
if (VDGetNumberOfInputs(digitizer, &count) == noErr) {
for (i = count; i >= 0; --i) {
if (VDGetInputFormat(digitizer, i, &format) == noErr) {
if (format == tvTunerIn) {
tvInput = i;
break;
}
}
}
}
return(tvInput);
}

TV Tuner Component API Listing

TVSetFrequency
pascal ComponentResult TVSetFrequency(ComponentInstance ci, long frequency);

ci       component instance 

frequency     frequency in hertz
This call sets the TV tuner to the selected frequency. The frequency is given in hertz. For example, to a receive a channel that broadcasts at 189.25 Mhz, you would use a frequency value of 189250000.

TVGetFrequency

pascal ComponentResult TVGetFrequency(ComponentInstance ci, long *frequency);

ci       component instance

frequency    pointer to frequency
This call returns the last frequency set using TVSetFrequency.

TVGetCurrentFlags

pascal ComponentResult TVGetCurrentFlags(ComponentInstance ci,long *standardFlags, long *currentFlags);

ci       component instance

standardFlags pointer to standard flags

currentFlags  pointer to current flags
This function returns a set of flags for which features the TV tuner supports. Currently, the only flags defined are for the different systems that are supported. Because of this, standardFlags and currentFlags will always be the same.

TVSetSoundMode

pascal ComponentResult TVSetSoundMode(ComponentInstance ci, short soundMode);

ci        component instance

soundMode sound mode to use
Returns tvParamErr if sound mode is out of range. Returns tvNoStereoErr if tuner does not support stereo sound.

This function sets the sound mode to be used by the TV tuner. In a way, this is really a preference more than a setting. The tuner will use the specified sound mode if available, but will revert to the next best thing if necessary. The three sound modes that can be specified are:

TVGetSoundMode
pascal ComponentResult TVGetSoundMode(ComponentInstance ci, short *soundMode);

ci        component instance 

soundMode pointer to a sound mode
Returns tvNoStereoErr if tuner does not support stereo sound.

This function returns the sound mode last requested using the TVSetSoundMode function. This does not necessarily correspond to the sound mode currently being received. For that information, use the TVGetAvailableSoundMode routine.

TVGetAvailableSoundMode

pascal ComponentResult TVGetAvailableSoundMode(ComponentInstance ci,short *soundMode);

ci       component instance

soundMode pointer to a sound mode
Returns tvNoStereoErr if tuner does not support stereo sound.

If supported by the stereo decoding hardware, this function will return the sound mode that is actually being received. The four sound modes that can be returned are:

TVGetAvailableSoundType
pascal ComponentResult TVGetAvailableSoundType(ComponentInstance ci,short *soundType);

ci         component instance

soundType pointer to a sound type
Returns tvNoStereoErr if tuner does not support stereo sound.

If supported by the stereo decoding hardware, this function will return the type of sound that is actually being received. The three sound types that can be returned are:

TVSetSoundSearchSpeed
pascal ComponentResult TVSetSoundSearchSpeed(ComponentInstance ci, short speed);

ci   component instance 

speed search speed
Returns tvNotSupportedErr if function not supported by tuner. Returns tvParamErr if invalid search speed specified.

If supported by the stereo decoding hardware, this function will set the speed at which the hardware determines the available sound mode and type. Using tvSoundSlowSpeed is more accurate than tvSoundFastSpeed, but may take several seconds to determine the sound mode and type.

TVGetSoundSearchSpeed

pascal ComponentResult TVGetSoundSearchSpeed(ComponentInstance ci, short *speed);

ci   component instance

speed  pointer to speed
Returns tvNotSupportedErr if function not supported by tuner.

This function returns the sound search speed set using the TVSetSoundSearchSpeed function.

TVSetStandard

pascal ComponentResult TVSetStandard(ComponentInstance ci,unsigned long standard);

ci        component instance

standard  TV standard
This function sets the TV standard to use (i.e. system I, system M/N, etc.). When using a dual standard, specify only one of the two standards, not both. For example, to set system B/G use tunrStandardB or tunrStandardG, but not tunrStandardB+tunrStandardG.

TVGetStandard

pascal ComponentResult TVGetStandard(ComponentInstance ci, unsigned long *standard);

ci        component instance

standard  pointer to TV standard.
This function returns the TV standard set using the TVSetStandard function.

TVGetDefaultStandard

pascal ComponentResult TVGetDefaultStandard(ComponentInstance ci, unsigned long *standard);

ci        component instance

standard  pointer to TV standard
This function returns the default TV standard.
