60 <para>This document covers the Linux Kernel to Userspace API's used by
61 video and radio straming devices, including video cameras,
62 analog and digital TV receiver cards, AM/FM receiver cards,
63 streaming capture devices.</para>
Hans Verkuil571d19c2012-08-09 06:04:43 -030064 <para>It is divided into four parts.</para>
Mauro Carvalho Chehab8e080c22009-09-13 22:16:04 -030065 <para>The first part covers radio, capture,
66 cameras and analog TV devices.</para>
67 <para>The second part covers the
68 API used for digital TV and Internet reception via one of the
69 several digital tv standards. While it is called as DVB API,
70 in fact it covers several different video standards including

Hans Verkuil571d19c2012-08-09 06:04:43 -030073 <para>The third part covers the Remote Controller API.</para>
74 <para>The fourth part covers the Media Controller API.</para>
