The Pinnacle cards are supplied with a remote controller which is the same as for Pinnacle PCTV 50i

Card features

  • PCI
  • PAL/NTSC/SECAM
  • Video/audio decoder: Bt848 (bttv)
  • Analog demodulator: MSP3410D-B4 (msp3400)
  • TV tuner: Temic 4002 FH5 (also possibly Philips)
  • FM radio chip (PRO only): MSP3410
  • Supports 16:9-format (?)
  • Resolution: 768x576 and 720x576 (PAL)

The card has no on board sound AD, so an external cable (supplied) connects the sound from the sound output on the card to a generic sound input (usually found on the main board).

Card connectors

  • TV RF signal: ??? with adapter to IEC connector (PAL)
  • Video Input: S-Video
  • Video Input: Composite Video (RCA socket)
  • Audio Outputs: 3.5 mm jack
  • FM radio RF signal (PRO only): Internal RC jack with flying wire to IEC connector
  • Video composite out (internal)

The IR-Remote requires a 9 pin serial connector
