| 51 | <para>This document covers the Linux Kernel to Userspace API's used by |
| 52 | video and radio straming devices, including video cameras, |
| 53 | analog and digital TV receiver cards, AM/FM receiver cards, |
| 54 | streaming capture devices.</para> |
| 55 | <para>It is divided into three parts.</para> |
| 56 | <para>The first part covers radio, capture, |
| 57 | cameras and analog TV devices.</para> |
| 58 | <para>The second part covers the |
| 59 | API used for digital TV and Internet reception via one of the |
| 60 | several digital tv standards. While it is called as DVB API, |
| 61 | in fact it covers several different video standards including |
| 62 | DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C and ATSC. The API is currently being updated |
| 63 | to documment support also for DVB-S2, ISDB-T and ISDB-S.</para> |
| 64 | <para>The third part covers other API's used by all media infrastructure devices</para> |
| 65 | <para>For additional information and for the latest development code, |
| 66 | see: <ulink url="http://linuxtv.org">http://linuxtv.org</ulink>.</para> |
