+``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_INTRA_REFRESH_PERIOD (integer)``
+ Intra macroblock refresh period. This sets the period to refresh
+ the whole frame. In other words, this defines the number of frames
+ for which the whole frame will be intra-refreshed. An example:
+ setting period to 1 means that the whole frame will be refreshed,
+ setting period to 2 means that the half of macroblocks will be
+ intra-refreshed on frameX and the other half of macroblocks
+ will be refreshed in frameX + 1 and so on. Setting the period to
+ zero means no period is specified.
+ Note that if the client sets this control to non zero value the
+ ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_CYCLIC_INTRA_REFRESH_MB`` control shall be
+ ignored. Applicable to H264 and HEVC encoders.
