-Digital Video (DV) Timings
-**************************
-
-The video standards discussed so far have been dealing with Analog TV
-and the corresponding video timings. Today there are many more different
-hardware interfaces such as High Definition TV interfaces (HDMI), VGA,
-DVI connectors etc., that carry video signals and there is a need to
-extend the API to select the video timings for these interfaces. Since
-it is not possible to extend the :ref:`v4l2_std_id <v4l2-std-id>`
-due to the limited bits available, a new set of ioctls was added to
-set/get video timings at the input and output.
-
-These ioctls deal with the detailed digital video timings that define
-each video format. This includes parameters such as the active video
-width and height, signal polarities, frontporches, backporches, sync
-widths etc. The ``linux/v4l2-dv-timings.h`` header can be used to get
-the timings of the formats in the :ref:`cea861` and :ref:`vesadmt`
-standards.
-
-To enumerate and query the attributes of the DV timings supported by a
-device applications use the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS` and
-:ref:`VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP` ioctls. To set
-DV timings for the device applications use the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_S_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>` ioctl and to get
-current DV timings they use the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS <VIDIOC_G_DV_TIMINGS>` ioctl. To detect
-the DV timings as seen by the video receiver applications use the
-:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS` ioctl.
-
-Applications can make use of the :ref:`input-capabilities` and
-:ref:`output-capabilities` flags to determine whether the digital
-video ioctls can be used with the given input or output.
