I was looking at that earlier, actually a similar model... http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1512-Definition-Personal-Technology/dp/B00BA4ILX8/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451511476&sr=1-2&keywords=hd+pvr+2 But I was afraid it would not work with Linux at the receiving end. What package(s) would I use to capture the data and write it to the filesystem? gstreamer? ffmpeg? Robert, do you know for sure that these will work on the X10 or other Beagle boards? I have the BBB but would upgrade to a USB3 board if necessary. I started down another path for hdmi capture, using this: http://www.amazon.com/HDML-Cloner-need-Capture-streaming-videos/dp/B00TF9MCXU Which writes to a USB mass storage device. I attached that to the usb-device port on the BBB. For simply storing the captured video this works great but I found that I can't just tail the files being written and process them 'live'. I can see that the partition is being written to via the the mod time on /dev/sda/ the file system shows 0 bytes for each new file. I can't access the files until disconnecting the capture device remounting the backing storage. I have a few ideas to overcome that but I think using the Hauppauge makes more sense if it works with common linux tools. -Kerry -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
