NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       qv4l2 [-R] [-h] [-d <dev>] [-r <dev>] [-V <dev>] [-S <dev>]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  qv4l2 tool is used to test video4linux capture and output devices,
13       either video, vbi, radio or swradio. This application can also serve as
14       a generic video/TV viewer application or as a video generator for video
15       output devices.
16
17       However, it does not (yet) support compressed video streams other  than
18       MJPEG
