     <title>Media device model</title>
     <para>Discovering a device internal topology, and configuring it at runtime,
     is one of the goals of the media controller API. To achieve this, hardware
-    devices are modelled as an oriented graph of building blocks called entities
-    connected through pads.</para>
-    <para>An entity is a basic media hardware or software building block. It can
-    correspond to a large variety of logical blocks such as physical hardware
-    devices (CMOS sensor for instance), logical hardware devices (a building
-    block in a System-on-Chip image processing pipeline), DMA channels or
-    physical connectors.</para>
-    <para>A pad is a connection endpoint through which an entity can interact
-    with other entities. Data (not restricted to video) produced by an entity
-    flows from the entity's output to one or more entity inputs. Pads should not
-    be confused with physical pins at chip boundaries.</para>
-    <para>A link is a point-to-point oriented connection between two pads,
-    either on the same entity or on different entities. Data flows from a source
-    pad to a sink pad.</para>
