 Note that it is required that you re-run the {{{media-ctl-setup}}} script and its generated output commands whenever the input source changes (ie Analog NTSC->PAL or HDMI input format (resolution/colorspace/framerate).
 
-Note that for many Analog decoder chips such as the adv7180 used on Ventana you must stop and re-start streaming if you lose or gain signal lock (ie Analog video input is disconnected and reconnected or simply connected after streaming starts). This is because many analog video decoders end up producing some incomplete frames right after lock and these frames must be discarded or they will confuse the IMX6. There is no support for discarding the first few frames in mainline linux at this time, but you can use the following patch which is included in Gateworks 4.20 media kernel: https://github.com/Gateworks/linux-imx6/commit/fcab532

 To detect when the input changes on a capture source you can catch the {{{V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE}}} event via the {{{VIDIOC_DQEVENT}}} ioctl - see https://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis-old/vidioc-dqevent.html
