+ <para>While some DV receivers or transmitters support a wide range of timings, others
+support only a limited number of timings. With this ioctl applications can enumerate a list
+of known supported timings. Call &VIDIOC-DV-TIMINGS-CAP; to check if it also supports other
+standards or even custom timings that are not in this list.</para>
+
+ <para>To query the available timings, applications initialize the
+<structfield>index</structfield> field and zero the reserved array of &v4l2-enum-dv-timings;
+and call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_TIMINGS</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
+structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
+&EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all supported DV timings,
+applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the
+driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>. Note that drivers may enumerate a
+different set of DV timings after switching the video input or
+output.</para>
