| |
| − | There has been a query on the page about the Kodicom 8800R that was posted as a new section with the title ''Question'' which was not appropriate. Since the Kodicom 8800/8800R is a card not currently supported on Linux I am posting the question in a more appropriate forum, this discussion page. The question was as follows:
| |
| | | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | I have a Kodicom 8800R, which has 8 separate controllers, with 8 composite video inputs.
| |
| − | I don't know if it has a 'master/slave' relationship, but I know using the same settings
| |
| − | for the 4400R card doesn't work. How do I go about debugging this/making it work?
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Since I do not have one of these cards I cannot know for sure how it works but I know enough about it to know that the operation of this card is very different from the Kodicom 4400R/4400. The card has 8 video capture chips and does not appear to multiplex them to get more than 8 channels. Therefore the thing to try with this card is to define it as 8 single channel cards to the bttv driver. To initialise it try:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <code>
| |
| − | modprobe bttv gbuffers=16 card=102,102,102,102,102,102,102,102
| |
| − | </code>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If that does not appear to work then it is worth trying to use different single channel capture only cards that use a different Mux input. A good picture high resolution picture of the card would be useful for this.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once we have trashed out the details here we can create a new page for the Kodicom 8800R on this wiki and close down the discussion here.
