Originally introduced in 2019, the Video4Zephyr (v4z) APIs laid the groundwork for video device support in Zephyr, but growing hardware complexity has exposed their limitations. This talk highlights recent and upcoming enhancements—like devicetree video ports, unified control frameworks, and memory-to-memory support—that are transforming v4z into a robust, driver-friendly video subsystem.
