| 31 | +<!-- Introduction --> |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + The main feature of this interface is accurate presentation |
| 34 | + timing feedback to ensure smooth video playback while maintaining |
| 35 | + audio/video synchronization. Some features use the concept of a |
| 36 | + presentation clock, which is defined in the |
| 37 | + presentation.clock_id event. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | + A content update for a wl_surface is submitted by a |
| 40 | + wl_surface.commit request. Request 'feedback' associates with |
| 41 | + the wl_surface.commit and provides feedback on the content |
| 42 | + update, particularly the final realized presentation time. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +<!-- Completing presentation --> |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + When the final realized presentation time is available, e.g. |
| 47 | + after a framebuffer flip completes, the requested |
| 48 | + presentation_feedback.presented events are sent. The final |
| 49 | + presentation time can differ from the compositor's predicted |
| 50 | + display update time and the update's target time, especially |
| 51 | + when the compositor misses its target vertical blanking period. |

| 91 | + <description summary="clock ID for timestamps"> |
| 92 | + This event tells the client in which clock domain the |
| 93 | + compositor interprets the timestamps used by the presentation |
| 94 | + extension. This clock is called the presentation clock. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | + The compositor sends this event when the client binds to the |
| 97 | + presentation interface. The presentation clock does not change |
| 98 | + during the lifetime of the client connection. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | + The clock identifier is platform dependent. On POSIX platforms, the |
| 101 | + identifier value is one of the clockid_t values accepted by |
| 102 | + clock_gettime(). clock_gettime() is defined by POSIX.1-2001. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + Timestamps in this clock domain are expressed as tv_sec_hi, |
| 105 | + tv_sec_lo, tv_nsec triples, each component being an unsigned |
| 106 | + 32-bit value. Whole seconds are in tv_sec which is a 64-bit |
| 107 | + value combined from tv_sec_hi and tv_sec_lo, and the |
| 108 | + additional fractional part in tv_nsec as nanoseconds. Hence, |
| 109 | + for valid timestamps tv_nsec must be in [0, 999999999]. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + Note that clock_id applies only to the presentation clock, |
| 112 | + and implies nothing about e.g. the timestamps used in the |
| 113 | + Wayland core protocol input events. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | + Compositors should prefer a clock which does not jump and is |
| 116 | + not slewed e.g. by NTP. The absolute value of the clock is |
| 117 | + irrelevant. Precision of one millisecond or better is |
| 118 | + recommended. Clients must be able to query the current clock |
| 119 | + value directly, not by asking the compositor. |

| 127 | + <description summary="presentation time feedback event"> |
| 128 | + A presentation_feedback object returns an indication that a |
| 129 | + wl_surface content update has become visible to the user. |
| 130 | + One object corresponds to one content update submission |
| 131 | + (wl_surface.commit). There are two possible outcomes: the |
| 132 | + content update is presented to the user, and a presentation |
| 133 | + timestamp delivered; or, the user did not see the content |
| 134 | + update because it was superseded or its surface destroyed, |
| 135 | + and the content update is discarded. |
| 136 | + |

| 201 | + <description summary="the content update was displayed"> |
| 202 | + The associated content update was displayed to the user at the |
| 203 | + indicated time (tv_sec_hi/lo, tv_nsec). For the interpretation of |
| 204 | + the timestamp, see presentation.clock_id event. |
| 205 | + |
| 206 | + The timestamp corresponds to the time when the content update |
| 207 | + turned into light the first time on the surface's main output. |
| 208 | + Compositors may approximate this from the framebuffer flip |
| 209 | + completion events from the system, and the latency of the |
| 210 | + physical display path if known. |
| 211 | + |
| 212 | + This event is preceded by all related sync_output events |
| 213 | + telling which output's refresh cycle the feedback corresponds |
| 214 | + to, i.e. the main output for the surface. Compositors are |
| 215 | + recommended to choose the output containing the largest part |
| 216 | + of the wl_surface, or keeping the output they previously |
| 217 | + chose. Having a stable presentation output association helps |
| 218 | + clients predict future output refreshes (vblank). |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | + The 'refresh' argument gives the compositor's prediction of how |
| 221 | + many nanoseconds after tv_sec, tv_nsec the very next output |
| 222 | + refresh may occur. This is to further aid clients in |
| 223 | + predicting future refreshes, i.e., estimating the timestamps |
| 224 | + targeting the next few vblanks. If such prediction cannot |
| 225 | + usefully be done, the argument is zero. |
| 226 | + |
| 227 | + For version 2 and later, if the output does not have a constant |
| 228 | + refresh rate, explicit video mode switches excluded, then the |
| 229 | + refresh argument must be either an appropriate rate picked by the |
| 230 | + compositor (e.g. fastest rate), or 0 if no such rate exists. |
| 231 | + For version 1, if the output does not have a constant refresh rate, |
| 232 | + the refresh argument must be zero. |
| 233 | + |
| 234 | + The 64-bit value combined from seq_hi and seq_lo is the value |
| 235 | + of the output's vertical retrace counter when the content |
| 236 | + update was first scanned out to the display. This value must |
| 237 | + be compatible with the definition of MSC in |
| 238 | + GLX_OML_sync_control specification. Note, that if the display |
| 239 | + path has a non-zero latency, the time instant specified by |
| 240 | + this counter may differ from the timestamp's. |
| 241 | + |
| 242 | + If the output does not have a concept of vertical retrace or a |
| 243 | + refresh cycle, or the output device is self-refreshing without |
| 244 | + a way to query the refresh count, then the arguments seq_hi |
| 245 | + and seq_lo must be zero. |
