I would like to try but the board I have (Geovision) is only compatable with Windows.
Add Swan cards/gear to that list!
So before I buy a new one I would like to know what works.
As far as I know anything with Conexant Fusion 878A chip is supported. There are many on ebay that come out of Hong Kong.
From memory, besides the card and 4 cameras the kit comes with Pico 2000 software CD, use it as a coaster.
Heres a pic of one of my test cards that does about 3 frames per second on all 4 channels.

It still has the Conexant chip but it also has a master control PLX chip, sadly it’s only supported by the bttv driver from kernel version 2.6.13 onwards.
For now it lives in the cupboard till I start playing with SME 8.0.

Again, check the minimum kernel version required.

Hope this helps
