Description:

libavc1394 is a programming interface to the AV/C specification from
the 1394 Trade Association. AV/C stands for Audio/Video Control.
Currently, applications use the library to control the tape transport
mechanism on DV camcorders. However, there are many devices and
functions of devices that can be controlled via AV/C. Eventually, the
library will be expanded to implement more of the specification and to
provide high level interfaces to various devices.
