Leadtek WinFast 2000

Introduction

Card 34 in the bttv cardlist works for a variety of Leadtek cards, including the Winfast 2000, Winfast TV2000 XP, Winfast TV2000 XP RM and Winfast TV2000 XP FM. Most of them also have an IR remote built in.

Installing the card

This card shows up on the PCI bus as two devices, one for video capture and one for audio:

The card is recognized when the bttv module is loaded on boot; here's a typical dmesg log:

Getting the sound from the sound card

It is unknown if the btaudio module works with this card. A patch cable from the tv card to the sound card does work. A patch cable from the tv card to the motherboard CD-in also works for those with onboard sound cards.
