| Some notes regarding the cx18 driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG |
| encoder chip: |
| |
| 1) Currently supported are: |
| |
| - Hauppauge HVR-1600 |
| - Compro VideoMate H900 |
| - Yuan MPC718 |
| - Conexant Raptor PAL/SECAM devkit |
| |
| 2) Some people have problems getting the i2c bus to work. |
| The symptom is that the eeprom cannot be read and the card is |
| unusable. This is probably fixed, but if you have problems |
| then post to the video4linux or ivtv-users mailing list. |
| |
| 3) VBI (raw or sliced) has not yet been implemented. |
| |
| 4) MPEG indexing is not yet implemented. |
| |
| 5) The driver is still a bit rough around the edges, this should |
| improve over time. |
| |
