2005-09-13[PATCH] v4l: experimental Sliced VBI API supportMauro Carvalho Chehab
Adds all defines, ioctls and structs needed for the sliced VBI API VBI = Vertical Blank Interval. It is related with the way TV signals work. It sends a line, then, it has a retrace time to allow the tube to move electrons to the beginning of the next line. This was the main reason at the beginning of analog B&W TV. There is a lot of bandwidth lost on VBI. So, lots of TV systems use it to send other information such as Closed Captions and Teletext. Also, broadcasters uses this as a channel to exchange information from the content producer to their subsidiaries at each city. There's already a raw VBI interface on V4L2 api, used for Closed Captions and Teletext. The decoding is doing at userlevel space and it is mostly for analog TV signals, non encoded. Encoded signals (MPEG, for example), may need also to transmit other information (like, for example, display aspect, i.e. 4x3, widescreen...). Sliced VBI interface is a method to allow the video stream to transmit this kind of information.

2005-09-09[PATCH] v4l: common part Updates and tuner additionsMauro Carvalho Chehab
- Remove $Id CVS logs for V4L files - Included newer cards. - Added a new NEC protocol for ir based on pulse distance. - Enable ATSC support for DViCO FusionHDTV5 Gold. - Added tuner LG NTSC (TALN mini series). - Fixed tea5767 autodetection. - Resolve more tuner types. - Commented debug function removed from mainstream. - Remove comments from mainstream. Still on development tree. - linux/version dependencies removed. - BTSC Lang1 now is set to auto_stereo mode. - New tuner standby API. - i2c-core.c uses hexadecimal for the i2c address, so it should stay consistent.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
