# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' on
# the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must make
# exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also customary to
# leave one space after the ':'.

libiec61883: libiec61883 (implementation of IEC 61883, part 1)
libiec61883: 
libiec61883: This library is an implementation of IEC 61883, part 1 (CIP, 
libiec61883: plug registers, and CMP), part 2 (DV-SD), part 4 (MPEG2-TS),
libiec61883: and part 6 (AMDTP). Outside of IIDC, nearly all FireWire 
libiec61883: multimedia devices use IEC 61883 protocols.
libiec61883: The libiec61883 library provides a higher level API for 
libiec61883: streaming DV, MPEG-2 and audio over Linux IEEE 1394. This
libiec61883: includes both reception and transmission. It uses the new 
libiec61883: "rawiso" API of libraw1394, which transparently provides
libiec61883: mmap-ed DMA for efficient data transfer.
