libdc1394 is a library that provides a high level programming interface for
application developers who wish to control and capture streams from IEEE 1394
based cameras that conform to the 1394-based Digital Camera Specifications
(also known as the IIDC or DCAM Specifications). libdc1394 also supports
some USB cameras that are IIDC compliant.
Besides capture and control, libdc1394 provides a full set of colour space
conversion functions (including RAW decoding), vendor specific functions and
direct camera register access.
