<!-- Introduction -->
|
|
|
|
The main feature of this interface is accurate presentation
|
|
timing feedback to ensure smooth video playback while maintaining
|
|
audio/video synchronization. Some features use the concept of a
|
|
presentation clock, which is defined in presentation.clock_id
|
|
event.
|
|
|
|
Request 'feedback' can be regarded as an additional wl_surface
|
|
method. It is part of the double-buffered surface state update
|
|
mechanism, where other requests first set up the state and then
|
|
wl_surface.commit atomically applies the state into use. In
|
|
other words, wl_surface.commit submits a content update.
|
|
|
|
<!-- Completing presentation -->
|
|
|
|
When the final realized presentation time is available, e.g.
|
|
after a framebuffer flip completes, the requested
|
|
presentation_feedback.presented events are sent. The final
|
|
presentation time can differ from the compositor's predicted
|
|
display update time and the update's target time, especially
|
|
when the compositor misses its target vertical blanking period.

<event name="clock_id">
|
|
<description summary="clock ID for timestamps">
|
|
This event tells the client in which clock domain the
|
|
compositor interprets the timestamps used by the presentation
|
|
extension. This clock is called the presentation clock.
|
|
|
|
The compositor sends this event when the client binds to the
|
|
presentation interface. The presentation clock does not change
|
|
during the lifetime of the client connection.
|
|
|
|
The clock identifier is platform dependent. Clients must be
|
|
able to query the current clock value directly, not by asking
|
|
the compositor.
|
|
|
|
On Linux/glibc, the identifier value is one of the clockid_t
|
|
values accepted by clock_gettime(). clock_gettime() is defined
|
|
by POSIX.1-2001.
|
|
|
|
Compositors should prefer a clock which does not jump and is
|
|
not slewed e.g. by NTP. The absolute value of the clock is
|
|
irrelevant. Precision of one millisecond or better is
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
Timestamps in this clock domain are expressed as tv_sec_hi,
|
|
tv_sec_lo, tv_nsec triples, each component being an unsigned
|
|
32-bit value. Whole seconds are in tv_sec which is a 64-bit
|
|
value combined from tv_sec_hi and tv_sec_lo, and the
|
|
additional fractional part in tv_nsec as nanoseconds. Hence,
|
|
for valid timestamps tv_nsec must be in [0, 999999999].
|
|
|
|
Note that clock_id applies only to the presentation clock,
|
|
and implies nothing about e.g. the timestamps used in the
|
|
Wayland core protocol input events.

<description summary="presentation time feedback event">
|
|
A presentation_feedback object returns an indication that a
|
|
wl_surface content update has become visible to the user.
|
|
One object corresponds to one content update submission
|
|
(wl_surface.commit). There are two possible outcomes: the
|
|
content update is presented to the user, and a presentation
|
|
timestamp delivered; or, the user did not see the content
|
|
update because it was superseded or its surface destroyed,
|
|
and the content update is discarded.
|
|
|
|
Once a presentation_feedback object has delivered an 'presented'
|
|
or 'discarded' event it is automatically destroyed.

<event name="sync_output">

<description summary="presentation synchronized to this output">
|
|
As presentation can be synchronized to only one output at a
|
|
time, this event tells which output it was. This event is only
|
|
sent prior to the presented event.
|
|
|
|
As clients may bind to the same global wl_output multiple
|
|
times, this event is sent for each bound instance that matches
|
|
the synchronized output. If a client has not bound to the
|
|
right wl_output global at all, this event is not sent.

<description summary="bitmask of flags in presented event">
|
|
These flags provide information about how the presentation of
|
|
the related content update was done. The intent is to help
|
|
clients assess the reliability of the feedback and the visual
|
|
quality with respect to possible tearing and timings. The
|
|
flags are:
|
|
|
|
VSYNC:
|
|
The presentation was synchronized to the "vertical retrace" by
|
|
the display hardware such that tearing does not happen.
|
|
Relying on user space scheduling is not acceptable for this
|
|
flag. If presentation is done by a copy to the active
|
|
frontbuffer, then it must guarantee that tearing cannot
|
|
happen.
|
|
|
|
HW_CLOCK:
|
|
The display hardware provided measurements that the hardware
|
|
driver converted into a presentation timestamp. Sampling a
|
|
clock in user space is not acceptable for this flag.
|
|
|
|
HW_COMPLETION:
|
|
The display hardware signalled that it started using the new
|
|
image content. The opposite of this is e.g. a timer being used
|
|
to guess when the display hardware has switched to the new
|
|
image content.
|
|
|
|
ZERO_COPY:
|
|
The presentation of this update was done zero-copy. This means
|
|
the buffer from the client was given to display hardware as
|
|
is, without copying it. Compositing with OpenGL counts as
|
|
copying, even if textured directly from the client buffer.
|
|
Possible zero-copy cases include direct scanout of a
|
|
fullscreen surface and a surface on a hardware overlay.

<description summary="the content update was displayed">
|
|
The associated content update was displayed to the user at the
|
|
indicated time (tv_sec_hi/lo, tv_nsec). For the interpretation of
|
|
the timestamp, see presentation.clock_id event.
|
|
|
|
The timestamp corresponds to the time when the content update
|
|
turned into light the first time on the surface's main output.
|
|
Compositors may approximate this from the framebuffer flip
|
|
completion events from the system, and the latency of the
|
|
physical display path if known.
|
|
|
|
This event is preceded by all related sync_output events
|
|
telling which output's refresh cycle the feedback corresponds
|
|
to, i.e. the main output for the surface. Compositors are
|
|
recommended to choose the output containing the largest part
|
|
of the wl_surface, or keeping the output they previously
|
|
chose. Having a stable presentation output association helps
|
|
clients predict future output refreshes (vblank).
|
|
|
|
Argument 'refresh' gives the compositor's prediction of how
|
|
many nanoseconds after tv_sec, tv_nsec the very next output
|
|
refresh may occur. This is to further aid clients in
|
|
predicting future refreshes, i.e., estimating the timestamps
|
|
targeting the next few vblanks. If such prediction cannot
|
|
usefully be done, the argument is zero.
|
|
|
|
The 64-bit value combined from seq_hi and seq_lo is the value
|
|
of the output's vertical retrace counter when the content
|
|
update was first scanned out to the display. This value must
|
|
be compatible with the definition of MSC in
|
|
GLX_OML_sync_control specification. Note, that if the display
|
|
path has a non-zero latency, the time instant specified by
|
|
this counter may differ from the timestamp's.
|
|
|
|
If the output does not have a constant refresh rate, explicit
|
|
video mode switches excluded, then the refresh argument must
|
|
be zero.
|
|
|
|
If the output does not have a concept of vertical retrace or a
|
|
refresh cycle, or the output device is self-refreshing without
|
|
a way to query the refresh count, then the arguments seq_hi
|
|
and seq_lo must be zero.
