+UVC Payload Header Data
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This format describes data, supplied by the UVC driver from metadata video
+nodes. That data includes UVC Payload Header contents and auxiliary timing
+information, required for precise interpretation of timestamps, contained in
+those headers. Buffers, streamed via UVC metadata nodes, are composed of blocks
+of variable length. Those blocks contain are described by struct uvc_meta_buf
+and contain the following fields:
+
+.. flat-table:: UVC Metadata Block
+    :widths: 1 4
+    :header-rows:  1
+    :stub-columns: 0
+
+    * - Field
+      - Description
+    * - struct timespec ts;
+      - system timestamp, measured by the driver upon reception of the payload
+    * - __u16 sof;
+      - USB Frame Number, also obtained by the driver
+    * - :cspan:`1` *The rest is an exact copy of the payload header:*
+    * - __u8 length;
+      - length of the rest of the block, including this field
+    * - __u8 flags;
+      - Flags, indicating presence of other standard UVC fields
+    * - __u8 buf[];
+      - The rest of the header, possibly including UVC PTS and SCR fields
