+Introduction
+============
+
+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, streaming capture and output
+devices, codec devices and remote controllers.
+
+A typical media device hardware is shown at
+:ref:`typical_media_device`.

+
+The media infrastructure API was designed to control such devices. It is
+divided into four parts.
+
+The first part covers radio, video capture and output, cameras, analog
+TV devices and codecs.
+
+The second part 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,etc. The
+complete list of supported standards can be found at
+:ref:`fe-delivery-system-t`.
+
+The third part covers the Remote Controller API.
+
+The fourth part covers the Media Controller 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.
