+ <para>A V4L2 codec can compress, decompress, transform, or otherwise

+supports both output (sending frames from memory to the codec hardware) and
+capture (receiving the processed frames from the codec hardware into memory)

+I/O for both sides and finally call &VIDIOC-STREAMON; for both capture and output

+ <para>Memory-to-memory devices can often be used as a shared resource: you can
+open the video node multiple times, each application setting up their own codec properties
+that are local to the file handle, and each can use it independently from the others.
+The driver will arbitrate access to the codec and reprogram it whenever another file
+handler gets access. This is different from the usual video node behavior where the video properties
+are global to the device (i.e. changing something through one file handle is visible
+through another file handle).</para>
