- <title>Teletext Interface</title>
-
- <para>This interface aims at devices receiving and demodulating
-Teletext data [<xref linkend="ets300706" />, <xref linkend="itu653" />], evaluating the
-Teletext packages and storing formatted pages in cache memory. Such
-devices are usually implemented as microcontrollers with serial
-interface (I<superscript>2</superscript>C) and can be found on older
-TV cards, dedicated Teletext decoding cards and home-brew devices
-connected to the PC parallel port.</para>
-
- <para>The Teletext API was designed by Martin Buck. It is defined in
-the kernel header file <filename>linux/videotext.h</filename>, the
-specification is available from <ulink url="http://home.pages.de/~videotext/">
-http://home.pages.de/~videotext/</ulink>. (Videotext is the name of
-the German public television Teletext service.) Conventional character
-device file names are <filename>/dev/vtx</filename> and
-<filename>/dev/vttuner</filename>, with device number 83, 0 and 83, 16
-respectively. A similar interface exists for the Philips SAA5249
-Teletext decoder [specification?] with character device file names
-<filename>/dev/tlkN</filename>, device number 102, N.</para>
-
- <para>Eventually the Teletext API was integrated into the V4L API
-with character device file names <filename>/dev/vtx0</filename> to
-<filename>/dev/vtx31</filename>, device major number 81, minor numbers
-192 to 223. For reference the V4L Teletext API specification is
-reproduced here in full: "Teletext interfaces talk the existing VTX
-API." Teletext devices with major number 83 and 102 will be removed in
-Linux 2.6.</para>
-
- <para>There are no plans to replace the Teletext API or to integrate
-it into V4L2. Please write to the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;
-when the need arises.</para>
