Fwd: Pinnacle PCTV USB2 working with PAL-Nc
Hi Gonzalo the other list is deprecated, I'm forwarding your mail. -- Forwarded message -- From: "Gonzalo A. de la Vega" Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2011 09:40:18 -0300 Subject: Pinnacle PCTV USB2 working with PAL-Nc To: video4linux-l...@redhat.com Hi all, I live in Argentina and I have a Pinnacle PCTV USB2. We use PAL-Nc (no other country does AFAIK) and I couldn't get the device to show a colored image. Actually there was no image when PAL-Nc was selected and BW only with PAL. It turns that this device uses (just to remind you) a TDA9887 tuner (IF-PLL demodulator), an SAA7113 input processor and a EM2820 capture device. The problem was that the TDA9887 is being set incorrectly. I'm not quiet sure what the justification is, but I started from the point that I should at least see the same B&W image I saw with PAL, so I just went with trial and error (two trials, one error). The whole diff would be: cut here-- 178c178 < cVideoIF_45_75 ), --- > cVideoIF_38_90 ), cut here-- I only have the Pinnalce PCTV, so probably someone else (from Argentina) could try with another device using the TDA9887 before submitting a patch.

Something like v4lctl setinput Composite1 will do. You can replace "Composite1" with other names like Television etc. The manpage has more information. -- Adrian. http://elesquinazotango.com.ar http://www.noalcodigodescioli.blogspot.com/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

If it helps, I'm mostly a user. Long ago I sent a small patch to get my card working; also hacked a bit the driver to suit my needs. cheers! -- Adrian. http://solar.org.ar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
