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: 0x00000000 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.
