+Sensor Ancillary Metadata
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This format describes ancillary data generated by a camera sensor and
+transmitted over a stream on the camera bus. Sensor vendors generally have their
+own custom format for this ancillary data. Some vendors follow a generic
+CSI-2/SMIA embedded data format as described in the `CSI-2 specification.
+<https://mipi.org/specifications/csi-2>`_
+
+The size of the embedded buffer is defined as a single line with a pixel width
+width specified in bytes. This is obtained by a call to the
+:c:type:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT` ioctl on the sensor subdevice where the ``pad``
+field in :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_format` is set to 1. Note that this size is fixed
+and cannot be modified with a call to :c:type:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT`.
