Thanks chaapai !
Thank you for your work
, i have done a test with a Hauppauge ImpactVCB card and my camcorder and it works good, but i can only use one port. I found this in the zoneminder forum:
After lots of playing around and experimentation I've managed to get 2 Hauppauge ImpactVCB cards working in the same system, with 4 ports on each card. The problem is bttv autodetects the card as Card=10. After looking through the bttv gallery at
http://www.bttv-gallery.de/ I found this card also listed as an Osprey card, Card=82. The card also works as a 4 port Grandtec
Card=77. All use the same 878A Capture chip.
For multiple cards add this to your /etc/modprobe.conf
options bttv card=82,82 tuner=4,4
Also I think bttv has a limit of 4 cards per system, although I haven't actually tried this many.
Make sure all of the cameras connected to one card are set to the same resolution, and the same "Capture Palette". ie: B&W Cameras on one card, colour on the other.
If you are looking for a reliable source for these cards in North America, try
http://www.fgeng.com/. Cards are $69USD, plus taxes and shipping.
For Canadians, they ship from within Canada, and the last one I ordered arrived in 4 days.
Don't expect top of the line performance from this card, as there is only one capture chip.
Where can i find the modprobe.conf ?
thanks
