Hi V4L-Specialists, I have a question concerning the V4L2-API:
What is V4L2 exactly? As far as I understood the API reference it is a complete API for reading data from a frame grabber. Is that right? Or is it more like an API to develop drivers for frame grabber cards? I had a brief look at the example apps, but I got confused be the API specs. What is it all about?? Sorry, this might be stupid questions but I will be facing setting up a surveillance app under Linux soon. I will use a frame grabber from Matrox with something around 10 - 16 cameras attached to it. Has someone experience with such hardware specs? It is not clear which one will be used, yet. I read in the specs that V4L2 is not tested with multi-threaded apps. Is that right? I mainly subscribed because this seems to be the only fully functional API under Linux. Thanks for your help, Martin Peter Hanke _______________________________________________ Video4linux-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list
