[media] doc-rst: media: reordered top sectioning
Within the old section hierarchy, all doc parts has been placed under the introduction, e.g: * Linux Media Infrastructure API + Introduction - Video for Linux API - Digital TV API - ... With separating the introduction sibling to the other parts we get a more common section hierarchy: * Linux Media Infrastructure API + Introduction + Video for Linux API + Digital TV API + ... BTW: compacting the intro text. This patch is on top of media_tree/docs-next Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de>

This document covers the Linux Kernel to Userspace API's used by video
|

|
and radio streaming devices, including video cameras, analog and digital
|
||||||
|
TV receiver cards, AM/FM receiver cards, Software Defined Radio (SDR),
|
||||||
|
streaming capture and output devices, codec devices and remote controllers.

Typical Media Device
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The media infrastructure API was designed to control such devices. It is
|
||||||
|
divided into five parts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. The :ref:`first part <v4l2spec>` covers radio, video capture and output,
|
||||||
|
cameras, analog TV devices and codecs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. The :ref:`second part <dvbapi>` covers the API used for digital TV and
|
||||||
|
Internet reception via one of the several digital tv standards. While it is
|
||||||
|
called as DVB API, in fact it covers several different video standards
|
||||||
|
including DVB-T/T2, DVB-S/S2, DVB-C, ATSC, ISDB-T, ISDB-S, DTMB, etc. The
|
||||||
|
complete list of supported standards can be found at
|
||||||
|
:ref:`fe-delivery-system-t`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. The :ref:`third part <remote_controllers>` covers the Remote Controller API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. The :ref:`fourth part <media_controller>` covers the Media Controller API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. The :ref:`fifth part <cec>` covers the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It should also be noted that a media device may also have audio components, like
|
||||||
|
mixers, PCM capture, PCM playback, etc, which are controlled via ALSA API. For
|
||||||
|
additional information and for the latest development code, see:
