Card features
- PCI interface
- SAA7134 chipset
- RDS-Tuner Chip SAA6588 chipset
- MPEG-Encoder Chip SAA6752HS
- FM, TV, Composite, S-Video and Audio inputs (outside)
- Two conectors (one is Audio out) (inside)
How to make it work
It was detected automatically as card=24.
The sound doesn't work from internal Mixer (at the moment - should work according to Video4Linux Mailing List). At the moment I use the Audio-out conector inside. If you hold the slot cover at the left and the PCI connector at the lower side, the audio out connector is the lower one. The 4 pins from the white MIDI-connector are from left to right: left-channel / ground / right-channel / ground. This one I connect to an audio input (Aux) of my sound card (SoundBlaster Live! 5.1). If I switch the input to this channel, the sound works fine.
The MPEG-Encoder works, as long as saa7134-empress and saa6752hs kernel modules are loaded. The MPEG TS stream is available at /dev/video1. The default parameters are:
Resolution: 720x576, aspect ratio 4:3 Video: MPEG2 TS 4000 kbps VBR (max 6000 kpbs) PID: 260 Audio: MPEG2 L2 audio 265 kbps PID: 256
As far as I know there is no way to change these, without writing your own software. There is some information, that mencoder supports V4L2 MPEG API, VLC has limited support through pvr access module (i.e. it's possible to set one of the following resolutions: 720x576, 480x576, 352x576, 352x288).
Kernel
The card runs ok on kernel 2.6.11.4 and up.
Not all features supported in the moment. Work in progress...
