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9 | This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 + | |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. | |
