function rc = PsychVideoDelayLoop(cmd, varargin)
% PsychVideoDelayLoop(subcommand, arg1, arg2, ...)
%
% This implements a realtime video feedback loop with adjustable
% delay, e.g., for action-perception studies.
%
% Arguments:
% subcommand - Is a string containing the subcommand to call.
% arg1, ... argn - Are the arguments that the specific subcommand
% requires.
%
% Subcommands, their meaning and arguments:
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('Verbosity', level);
% -- Set level of verbosity: 0 == Shut up. 1 == Errors and warnings.
% 2 == Information as well. The default is 1.
%
% handle = PsychVideoDelayLoop('Open', windowPtr [,deviceId] [,ROI] [,inColor])
% -- Open a video capture device 'deviceId' for use on a specific onscreen
% window 'windowPtr', setup region of interest 'ROI', select if capture
% should happen 'inColor' = 1 or gray-scale (inColor = 0).
% This returns a 'handle' for the device, so other scripts can do
% device specific setup.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('Close')
% -- Shutdown, close and release all video capture devices. This
% invalidates any handle obtained from 'Open'.
%
% fps = PsychVideoDelayLoop('TuneVideoRefresh', capturerate)
% -- Measure the exact capture rate of the video device when
% requesting a capturerate of 'capturerate', check if the displays
% refresh rate is roughly compatible with the capture device setting
% and then try to fine-tune the display refresh rate in order to
% minimize phase-shifts between capture device work-cycle and display
% device work-cycle. Return the final fine-tuned and measured framerate
% 'fps' of the display device.
% Note: Fine-tuning is only possible in a very narrow range (+/- 1Hz)
% around the display refresh rate set in your display settings. This
% feature is currently only supported on GNU/Linux.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('SetAbortKeys', keyarray)
% -- Define a sequence of keycodes for valid abort
% keys. If any of the keys given in the sequence is pressed, the
% video loop will exit. You can map keys to keycodes via KbName, e.g.,
% key1 = KbName('Escape'); key2 = KbName('Space'); keyarray = [key1 key2];
% --> Create a keyarray that would abort on Escape- or Space- keypress.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('SetAbortTimeout', timeout)
% -- Define a maximum duration of the feedback loop in seconds. After
% that amount of time has elapsed, the loop will exit.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('SetHeadstart', timemargin)
% -- Define an estimate of how long the system will take to process a
% new video frame plus the expected drift during one trial. The loop
% will take this extra amount of time into account when prestarting the
% camera to make sure that the excess latency caused by the video loop itself
% is as short and stable as possible. E.g., a value of 0.004 secs for
% processing overhead + maybe 0.004 secs for drift == 0.008 secs could
% be reasonable for an otherwise well synchronized system.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('SetPresentation', fullfov, mirrored, upsidedown);
% -- Change mode of presentation: fullfov=0 Show centered image, fullfov=1
% Zoom image to fill full area of onscreen window. mirrored=0 Normal
% presentation, mirrored=1 Mirror left-right. upsidedown=0 Upright,
% upsidedown=1 Upside-Down.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('SetLogging', mode, maxseconds)
% -- Disable (mode=0) or enable (mode=1) logging of timestamps.
% 'maxseconds' is the number of seconds for which the arrays should
% be pre-allocated. After running the delay loop you can query the
% logged timestamps via the 'GetLog' subfunction.
%
% log = PsychVideoDelayLoop('GetLog')
% -- Return the timing logs of last loop run. This is a 3 rows by
% n columns matrix, where each column corresponds to the timing
% samples of one frame: log(1,i) = Absolute system time in seconds,
% when frame i was captured. log(2,i) = Delta (seconds) between
% capture and visual onset of image i on screen. log(3,i) contains
% an estimate of the full delay between capture onset of frame i and
% visual onset. It is the value log(2,i) + estimated latency between
% start of camera sensor exposure and transmit completion for the frame.
% The accuracy of this estimate should be pretty good for cameras known
% to Psychtoolbox and it is a *guess* for the lower bound on the real
% latency on unknown cameras.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('RecordFrames', framestep)
% -- Record every 'framestep'th frame in system RAM as an OpenGL
% texture. The video loop doesn't discard every texture after drawing
% it, but enqueues it an a system RAM buffer. The vector of texture
% handles can be retrieved via 'GetRecordedFrames' after the loop
% has finished. Default is zero == Recording disabled. A value of
% one records every frame, a value of two every second, ...
%
% Calling this function will also reset the vector of recorded frames
% to empty, but it will not delete the textures! That is your task.
%
% texids = PsychVideoDelayLoop('GetRecordedFrames')
% Return vector of texture handles for all recorded frames.
% texids(1,i) contains the texture handle for the i'th recorded frame.
% texids(2,i) contains the onset timestamp for the i'th recorded frame.
%
% PsychVideoDelayLoop('RunLoop', delayFrames[, onlinecontrol]);
% -- Run the video feedback loop, using the parameters specified above.
% The video loop will start and run until one of the abort keys is pressed,
% or the timeout is reached. It will log timestamps as requested. Each
% captured video frame is output again after 'delayFrames' capture cycle
% durations, e.g., capturerate = 30 fps -> cycle = 1/30 sec = 33.33 ms -->
% delay is at least delayFrames * 33.33 ms. Images are drawn and shown
% in sync with vertical retrace after that amount of time. The real onset
% time obviously depends on the monitor refresh interval and phase between
% camera and monitor.
%
% If 'onlinecontrol' is set to 1, then a few control keys are enabled to
% allow for interactive change of settings like brightness, gain and
% exposure time: 'b' increases brightness, 'd' decreases brightness.
% Up/DownArrow keys increase/decrease gain. Right/LeftArrow keys
% increase/decrease exposure time (shutter time).
