v2l

Video4Linux (V4L for short) is a collection of device drivers and an API for supporting realtime video capture on Linux systems. It supports many USB webcams, TV tuners, and related devices, standardizing their output, so programmers can easily add video support to their applications.
Video4Linux is responsible for creating V4L2 device nodes aka a device file (/dev/videoX, /dev/vbiX and /dev/radioX) and tracking data from these nodes. The device node creation is handled by V4L device drivers using the video_device struct (v4l2-dev.h) and it can either be allocated dynamically or embedded in another larger struct.
Video4Linux was named after Video for Windows (which is sometimes abbreviated "V4W"), but is not technically related to it.While Video4Linux is only available on Linux, there is a compatibility layer available for FreeBSD called Video4BSD. This provides a way for many programs that depend on V4L to also compile and run on the FreeBSD operating system.

    MG5 Pre-facelift V2L (Diy)

    As we know there's no V2L capability on Pre-lift MG5, so I decided to do a DIY version. The onboard charger is capable of delivering around 170amps to 12V battery, however the charging circuit fuse is 150amps, so we are looking at maximum 2.1kw max. I bought 2kw pure sine wave inverter, as I...

    V2L discharge specs, 60Hz output on Australian MG MG4 EV

    I couldn't find anything about standards that govern V2L output specifications for the MG MG4 in Australia. To me, the MG is a mobile inverter which can deliver AC power to loads and wouldn't be any different to a standalone inverter hooked up to a battery. I recently got a V2L adapter and one...

    V2L 3-Phase?

    Hello, have anybody tried to get 3-phase from the car? I was looking under the bonnet/hood a couple of days ago and noticed it said "AC/DC OUTPUT1 : 250-500v 24A MAX" and "AC/DC OUTPUT2 : 250-500V 32A MAX" on the onboard charger/inverter. So that got me thinking that it's maybe possible to get...
