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).
