<para>To query the capabilities of the DV receiver/transmitter applications
can call the <constant>VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP</constant> ioctl on a video node
and the driver will fill in the structure. Note that drivers may return
different values after switching the video input or output.</para>
<para>When implemented by the driver DV capabilities of subdevices can be
queried by calling the <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_DV_TIMINGS_CAP</constant> ioctl
directly on a subdevice node. The capabilities are specific to inputs (for DV
receivers) or outputs (for DV transmitters), applications must specify the
desired pad number in the &v4l2-dv-timings-cap; <structfield>pad</structfield>
field. Attempts to query capabilities on a pad that doesn't support them will
return an &EINVAL;.</para>
