+	The Digital Video control class is intended to control receivers
+	and transmitters for <ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vga";>VGA</ulink>,
+	<ulink url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface";>DVI</ulink>
+	(Digital Visual Interface), HDMI (<xref linkend="hdmi" />) and DisplayPort (<xref linkend="dp" />).
+	These controls are generally expected to be private to the receiver or transmitter
+	subdevice that implements them, so they are only exposed on the
+	<filename>/dev/v4l-subdev*</filename> device node.
+      </para>
+
+      <para>Note that these devices can have multiple input or output pads which are
+      hooked up to e.g. HDMI connectors. Even though the subdevice will receive or
+      transmit video from/to only one of those pads, the other pads can still be
+      active when it comes to EDID (Extended Display Identification Data,
+      <xref linkend="vesaedid" />) and HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
+      Protection System, <xref linkend="hdcp" />) processing, allowing the device
+      to do the fairly slow EDID/HDCP handling in advance. This allows for quick
+      switching between connectors.</para>
+
+      <para>These pads appear in several of the controls in this section as
+      bitmasks, one bit for each pad. Bit 0 corresponds to pad 0, bit 1 to pad 1,
+      etc. The maximum value of the control is the set of valid pads.</para>
