+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.
