[V4L] MPEG2 encoder card driver

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi, 

we released our first version of a GPLed Linux driver for a hardware
MPEG2 encoder card.
The card is based on the Kfir chip developed by Visiontech 
(http://www.visiontech-dml.com).

The Kfir chip supports video encoding in ISO/IEC 13818-2 (MPEG-2) and 
ISO/IEC 11172-2 (MPEG-1), system Multiplexing in ISO/IEC 13818-1
(MPEG-2) and ISO/IEC 11172-1 (MPEG-1) in various stream types:
Video ES, Audio PES, Video PES, Program Stream, and Transport Streams
at variable and constant Bit rates.

It supports low bit rate applications and the following resolutions:
  - Horizontal: 720, 640, 544, 480, 360, 320, 160
  - Vertical:   112, 240, 480(NTSC), 144, 288, 576(PAL).
Video Input:    Selectable 8/10 bits CCIR 656
Direct DVB/SPI output

Audio hardware encoding in MPEG Layer 1 and 2 is supported through an
ADSP chip. The PLX9054 PCI bridge allows busmastering DMA of the
encoded stream directly into main memory. 

The card is also based on a design by Visiontech and is manufacturered by 
BMK-Elektronik (http://www.bmk-electronics.de) in Germany.

You can find more details about the card and the driver itself at:

http://www.linuxtv.org/mpeg2/

There we also provide a form which allows you to get into contact with
BMK for ordering details. The price for single cards is about 330 Euro.
