I've been unsuccessful in my search for info on linux hardware support for 
studio-grade, uncompressed capture/playback.  Is there anything along the 
lines of Matrox Digisuite supported under V4L or V4L2?  How about SDI?  Have 
any manufacturers provided sufficient information to support these products? 
  How about manufacturers that have refused to provide this info?

Another concern I have is the API.  Are the V4L-related APIs sufficient to 
build a professional-grade NLE?  I don't really care about realtime DVEs, or 
anything like that - I mainly care about audio synch, timecode/genlock, and 
realtime capture/playback of uncompressed.  Deck control is another huge 
issue, but also not a primary concern of mine.


Is there any chance of this happening, or is this too much at odds with the 
other problems V4L is trying to address?  Are there other projects aimed at 
getting linux into the post/broadcast environments?


Note: I would be willing to contribute code & documentation to driver or API 
projects in line with the above goals.  I have no (current) commercial 
interests in this, BTW.


Thanks,
Matt
