|  | Effect Devices Interface | 
|  | ************************ | 
|  |  | 
|  | .. note:: | 
|  | This interface has been be suspended from the V4L2 API. | 
|  | The implementation for such effects should be done | 
|  | via mem2mem devices. | 
|  |  | 
|  | A V4L2 video effect device can do image effects, filtering, or combine | 
|  | two or more images or image streams. For example video transitions or | 
|  | wipes. Applications send data to be processed and receive the result | 
|  | data either with :ref:`read() <func-read>` and | 
|  | :ref:`write() <func-write>` functions, or through the streaming I/O | 
|  | mechanism. |
