|
|
<para>This document covers the Linux Kernel to Userspace API's used by
|
|
video and radio streaming devices, including video cameras,
|
|
analog and digital TV receiver cards, AM/FM receiver cards,
|
|
streaming capture and output devices, codec devices and remote
|
|
controllers.</para>

<para>The media infrastructure API was designed to control such
|
|
devices. It is divided into four parts.</para>
|
|
<para>The first part covers radio, video capture and output,
|
|
cameras, analog TV devices and codecs.</para>
|
|
<para>The second part covers the
|
|
API used for digital TV and Internet reception via one of the
|
|
several digital tv standards. While it is called as DVB API,
|
|
in fact it covers several different video standards including
|
|
DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C, ATSC, ISDB-T, ISDB-S,etc. The complete
|
|
list of supported standards can be found at
|
|
<xref linkend="fe-delivery-system-t" />.</para>
|
|
<para>The third part covers the Remote Controller API.</para>
|
|
<para>The fourth part covers the Media Controller API.</para>
|
|
<para>It should also be noted that a media device may also have audio
|
|
components, like mixers, PCM capture, PCM playback, etc, which
|
|
are controlled via ALSA API.</para>
