From: Laurent Pinchart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Linux UVC driver available To: [email protected] Reply-To: Linux and Kernel Video <[email protected]> Cc: Fondriest Frédéric <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, William Beebe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2006 18:16:32 +0100 User-Agent: KMail/1.9 Hi everybody, After a couple of months of preliminary development, I'm proud to announce the creation of the Linux UVC project. The goal of the project is to provide all necessary software components to fully support UVC compliant devices in Linux. This include a V4L2 kernel device driver and patches for user-space tools. The USB Device Class Definition for Video Devices, or USB Video Class, defines video streaming functionality on the Universal Serial Bus. Much like nearly all mass storage devices (USB flash disks, external IDE disk enclosures, ...) can be managed by a single driver because they conform to the USB Mass Storage specification, UVC compliant peripherals only need a generic driver. The UVC specification covers webcams, digital camcorders, analog video converters, analog and digital television tuners, and still-image cameras that support video streaming for both video input and output. Due to the limited available man power and the broad scope of the UVC specification, the Linux UVC project will concentrate the development efforts on video input devices, especially webcams. Video output devices will be considered at a later time. Last but not least, you can find the project homepage at BerliOS : http://linux-uvc.berlios.de. You will need a recent kernel (2.6.12, 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc5 have been tested). Laurent Pinchart PS: The mailing list on BerliOS has just been created and will not be operational before a day or two, so please follow-up on the video4linux mailing list until the end of the week. -- video4linux-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/video4linux-list ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ pwc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.saillard.org/mailman/listinfo/pwc
