| Stefan Richter | 66fa12c | 2010-10-10 00:12:20 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire) |
| 2 | Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37 |
| 3 | Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net |
| 4 | Description: |
| 5 | /dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire |
| 6 | controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data |
| 7 | could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few |
| 8 | ioctl()s allowed limited control. |
| 9 | This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 + |
| 10 | libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and |
| 11 | transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers. |
