So there are 3 GPIO lines (0-2) to select the channel instead of the two on the Phytec board. Other things I could see from the pictures: - You can connect an audio source to J7. snd-bt87x will be able to capture it in analog mode. - Any of the four bnc inputs can be routed to the cinch output. This is controlled by U1, which is accessed via I2C. - U14 is a video amplifier for the output. - U1 also controls the watchdog and is able to drive the PCI reset line. - U12 is a sync separator. One of its outputs is connected to GPIO 15 - probably the vsync out pin. I will try to create a patch for the card when I'm back home.

If you tell me which lines you need to trace on the card then maybe i can do that and mail you the information?

Hi Daniel! 2009/7/29 Daniel Glöckner : > Coincidence that they removed the driver?.. Strange, it was still there when i posted the link.

Tried NTSC, PAL, overlay, grabpicture, no picture on composite0-7 (and s-video) The card itself only has 4 inputs, is there a modprobe option to bttv i should use (besides card=108 tuner=0 radio=0)? > If not, can you put the card on a scanner and create pictures of both > sides so that we can trace the signals?

Technical Details on Abus Digiprotect TV8802 Capture Card
Hi! I am trying to get a capture card working under linux. Ubuntu 8.09 loads bttv module but doesn´t recognize the type of the card - it is not listed on cardlist.bttv . I tried several card=XX options (with mediocre success, e.g. bad grey or green picture from only one input, random change of input by changing between NTSC/PAL) but gave up since the system often froze after closing xawtv. The card is called ABUS Digiprotect TV8802. Windows-software (including drivers and monitoring software) can be found at abus-sc.com (http://www.abus-sc.co.uk/International/Service-Downloads/Software?q=tv8802&Send=Search). The card features 4 composite inputs using BNC connectors and one Cinch connector (for Video-Out i think). It has no tuner / radio / remote. There is only one chip "Conexant Fusion 878A" on the card. lspci identifies vendor=109E product 0878 and vendor=109E product=036E. I installed the original drivers under WinXP and used btspy which gave me the following output: General information: Name:Abus Digiprotect TV8802 Chip: Bt878 , Rev: 0x00 Subsystem: 0x Vendor: Gammagraphx, Inc. Values to MUTE audio: Mute_GPOE : 0x3c7007 Mute_GPDATA: 0x305000 Has TV Tuner: No Number of Composite Ins: 4 Composite in #1 Composite1_Mux : 2 Composite1_GPOE : 0x3c7007 Composite1_GPDATA: 0x305002 Composite in #2 Composite2_Mux : 2 Composite2_GPOE : 0x3c7007 Composite2_GPDATA: 0x305001 Composite in #3 Composite3_Mux : 2 Composite3_GPOE : 0x3c7007 Composite3_GPDATA: 0x305003 Composite in #4 Composite4_Mux : 2 Composite4_GPOE : 0x3c7007 Composite4_GPDATA: 0x305002 Has SVideo: No Has Radio: No What confuses me, are the same values for GPDATA on Composite 1 and 4, but maybe this is a problem with the software i used to select the inputs (i used the software from abus-sc.com). I wasn´t able to use the card using the drivers from btwincap.sf.net, but maybe this is because the software from abus-sc.com needs the original drivers. Maybe someone with more insight can add support for this card. I can do some more testing / research, but need advice on what exactly to do.
