<title>RDS Interface</title>
<para>The Radio Data System transmits supplementary
information in binary format, for example the station name or travel
information, on an inaudible audio subcarrier of a radio program. This
interface is aimed at devices capable of receiving and/or transmitting RDS
information.</para>
<para>For more information see the core RDS standard <xref linkend="en50067" />
and the RBDS standard <xref linkend="nrsc4" />.</para>
<para>Note that the RBDS standard as is used in the USA is almost identical
to the RDS standard. Any RDS decoder/encoder can also handle RBDS. Only some of the
fields have slightly different meanings. See the RBDS standard for more
information.</para>
<para>The RBDS standard also specifies support for MMBS (Modified Mobile Search).
This is a proprietary format which seems to be discontinued. The RDS interface does not
support this format. Should support for MMBS (or the so-called 'E blocks' in general)
be needed, then please contact the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;.</para>
<section>
<title>Querying Capabilities</title>
<para>Devices supporting the RDS capturing API set
the <constant>V4L2_CAP_RDS_CAPTURE</constant> flag in
the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. Any tuner that supports RDS
will set the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS</constant> flag in
the <structfield>capability</structfield> field of &v4l2-tuner;. If
the driver only passes RDS blocks without interpreting the data
the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_BLOCK_IO</constant> flag has to be
set, see <link linkend="reading-rds-data">Reading RDS data</link>.
For future use the
flag <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_CONTROLS</constant> has also been
defined. However, a driver for a radio tuner with this capability does
not yet exist, so if you are planning to write such a driver you
should discuss this on the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;.</para>
<para> Whether an RDS signal is present can be detected by looking
at the <structfield>rxsubchans</structfield> field of &v4l2-tuner;:
the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS</constant> will be set if RDS data
was detected.</para>
<para>Devices supporting the RDS output API
set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_RDS_OUTPUT</constant> flag in
the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.
Any modulator that supports RDS will set the
<constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS</constant> flag in the <structfield>capability</structfield>
field of &v4l2-modulator;.
In order to enable the RDS transmission one must set the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS</constant>
bit in the <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> field of &v4l2-modulator;.
If the driver only passes RDS blocks without interpreting the data
the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_BLOCK_IO</constant> flag has to be set. If the
tuner is capable of handling RDS entities like program identification codes and radio
text, the flag <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_CONTROLS</constant> should be set,
see <link linkend="writing-rds-data">Writing RDS data</link> and
<link linkend="fm-tx-controls">FM Transmitter Control Reference</link>.</para>
