+***************************************
+Time of Flight Camera Control Reference
+***************************************
+
+The Time of Flight class includes controls for digital features
+of the TOF sensor.
+
+TOF sensor is a receiver chip. Each pixel in the sensor measures the travel time
+of light to that pixel and hence the distance to the object seen by that pixel.
+There are different types of TOF sensors. Direct TOF sensors (also known
+as Lidars) send a single pulse and measure direct time of flight.
+Another type of TOF is indirect TOF sensors, which emit continuous wave
+(could be radio or infrared) and then measure phase shift of reflected light.
+The sensor modulates outgoing light and then collects reflected photons
+as an electric charge with modulated pattern. Knowing the frequency of
+the pattern you can calculate the real distance.
+
+For more information about TOF sensors see
+`TOF <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-of-flight_camera>`__ from Wikipedia.
+Also, there are other nice explanations from vendors about indirect TOF:
+`Microsoft <https://devblogs.microsoft.com/azure-depth-platform/understanding-indirect-tof-depth-sensing/>`__,
+`Melexis <https://media.melexis.com/-/media/files/documents/application-notes/time-of-flight-basics-application-note-melexis.pdf>`__,

+=================================
+
+``V4L2_CID_TOF_CLASS (class)``
+ The TOF class descriptor. Calling :ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL` for
+ this control will return a description of this control class.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TOF_PHASE_SEQ (dynamic array u16)``
+ Change the shift between illumination and sampling for each phase
+ in degrees. The distance / amplitude (confidence) pictures are obtained
+ by merging 3..8 captures of the same scene using different phase shifts
+ (some TOF sensors use different frequency modulations).
+
+ The size of dynamic array specify the number of captures.
+ Also driver may decide whether V4L2_CID_TOF_FREQ_MOD and
+ V4L2_CID_TOF_TIME_INTEGRATION should change the number
+ of captures or rely on V4L2_CID_TOF_PHASE_SEQ control.
+ The maximum size of the array is driver specific.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TOF_FREQ_MOD (dynamic array u8)``
+ The control sets the modulation frequency (in Mhz) for each phase.
+ The maximum array size is driver specific.
+
+``V4L2_CID_TOF_TIME_INTEGRATION (dynamic array u16)``
+ The control sets the integration time (in us) for each phase.
+ The maximum array size is driver specific.
