Introduction

============
|
||||
|

The media subsystem consists on Linux support for several different types
|
||||
of devices:
|
||||
|
||||
- Audio and video grabbers;
|
||||
- PC and Laptop Cameras;
|
||||
- Complex cameras found on Embedded hardware;
|
||||
- Analog and digital TV;
|
||||
- HDMI Customer Electronics Control (CEC);
|
||||
- Multi-touch input devices;
|
||||
- Remote Controllers;
|
||||
- Media encoders and decoders.
|
||||
|
||||
Due to the diversity of devices, the subsystem provides several different
|
||||
APIs:
|
||||
|
||||
- Remote Controller API;
|
||||
- HDMI CEC API;
|
||||
- Video4Linux API;
|
||||
- Media controller API;
|
||||
- Video4Linux Request API (experimental);
|
||||
- Digital TV API (also known as DVB API).
