v4l-utils 1.18.0-1 source package in Ubuntu

 This is a series of tools written to help testing and working with DVB,
 using its latest V5 API. The tools can also work with the DVBv3 API.
 .
 The current tools are:
 .
 dvb-fe-tool: a simple test application, that reads from the frontend.
 it also allows one to change the default delivery system.
 In the future, it may be used to change any property via command line.
 .
 dvb-format-convert: converts from zap and scan initial-tuning-data-file
 into the new format defined to work with DVBv5.
 .
 dvbv5-scan: a DVBv5 scan tool.
 .
 dvbv5-zap: a DVBv5 zap tool. It allows one to tune into a DVB channel,
 and to watch to a DVB service (e. g. receiving the video and audio
 streams, via another application using the dvr device).

 This package allows one to change the keymap of controller receivers.
 Those receivers are found as infrared receivers on DVB sticks or on
 framegrabber cards. Via ir-keytable the mapping from a scancode to
 the generated event can be customized and made persistent.

 implement the DVB v5 API.

 libv4l is a collection of libraries which adds a thin abstraction layer on
 top of video4linux2 devices. The purpose of this (thin) layer is to make it
 easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without
 having to write separate code for different devices in the same class. libv4l
 consists of 3 different libraries: libv4lconvert, libv4l1 and libv4l2.
 .
 libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices, independent
 of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1 compatibility (which many
 v4l2 drivers do not).
 .
 libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding for the
 application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where necessary.
 .
 This package contains the shared libraries.

 libv4lconvert offers functions to convert from any (known) pixelformat
 to BGR24, RGB24, YUV420 and YVU420.

 This library decodes a RDS stream obtained from a Video4Linux (V4L)
 version 2 device. It supports both: the US based RBDS and European RDS
 protocol.

 Qt v4l2 control panel application. You can change all through the v4l2
 interface exposed device controls.
