In general, any PCI card with a Bt8x8 chipset should work with the Linux Bttv driver. Of hardware with that chipset is beyond the scope of this document (but similar). Note that the next generation of bt8x8, theĬonexant 2388x, is now supported by a driver in the Linux 2.6 kernel. In addition to the Bt8x8 decoder chip, these cards vary by accompanying components such as the tuner and sound decoder, and may include an optional videotext decoder, radio tuner, and/or hardware mpeg encoder. There are several chips in this family, including the Bt848,īt848A, Bt849, Bt878 and Bt879, and as a rule are all supported by the The first ISA boards manufactured in the mid-1990s. The Bt8x8 family has enjoyed remarkable longevity in a world where
The "Bt" stands for Brooktree, after the original manufacturer of TV card upon inspection, in addition to other chips which you should probably make note ofīefore installation in case there are problems later. You can probably see the Bt8x8 chip (it's usually labelled as such) embedded on your Of video decoder chips, collectively referred to as the "Bt8x8" chipset. If you haven't figured it out by now, this document deals with the Linux-specificĬonfiguration of frame grabber cards that include the
